From The Washington Post :
But in the end, in late December, Obama approved a modest package blending measures that had been drawn up to punish Russia for other matters : expulsions of 35 diplomats and the closure of two Russian compounds with economic sanctions so narrowly targeted that even those who helped design them describe their impact as largely symbolic.
Obama also approved a previously undisclosed covert measure that approved planting cyber weapons in Russias infrastructure, the digital equivalent of bombs that could be detonated if the United States observed itself in an escalating exchange with Moscow. The project, which Obama approved in a covert-action finding, was still in its planning stages when Obama left office. It would be up to President Trump to decide whether to use the capability.
So it sounds like Obama's admin didn't think it would be a big deal because Hillary would win so they weren't overly proactive with the investigation.
