Why is indicting foreign nationals for hacking American citizens' data "silly"?


It doesn't achieve much, it increases the risk of revealing methods and sources. It also puts US cyber security personnel at greater risk, some of whom have spoken out against the practice.


For one thing, because there's no reason to suspect that any particular accusation in these indictments is true.
