And still, Rule of Law requires that those who enforce the law, follow the law.

Countries that believe the US interferes with their elections are free to try to do what the US is doing, and attempt to prosecute a case against whomever they can catch.

Otherwise... what conclusion are we meant to reach? That countries which engage in espionage or which interfere with other countries' elections shouldn't have espionage laws or should allow any interference in their own? There's no argument of equivocation one could make to excuse or exonerate Russia in this case that doesn't also do the same for the US.
