> Was anyone of the US Government criminally charged for this whole thing or they only bothered to charge the guy who exposed the crime?

For the same reason no one was charged for hiroshima or nagasaki. Or the illegal iraq war. It was sanctioned by the government.

For there to be criminal charges, someone in the government has to be willing to prosecute. Good luck with that.
