It was anon users on 4chan. Who knows if the person breaking into the account was even a US Citizen. Also, guessing a password isn't hacking. Yahoo has all sorts of hints that allow you to obtain your password (dog's name, cars, street names, bs like that). A public official like that would have all that in the open.
Furthermore, whoever did this was probably skilled enough to be able to cover his tracks.
This should really be a lesson that you should never enter real answers into those hint checkers that allow you to access your account. At the very least you are better off making something obscure up and using it as the same answer on every account.
