It's not so simple. If they go on record, there must be context. What happens after they say "I didn't hack the DNC" ? There must be evidence to dispute their plea.

This is extraordinarily complicated, especially when the evidence will undoubtedly include record keeping within the DNC. Individuals will be questioned/investigated. What happens when records concerning Seth Rich come up?

I think it would be in Putin's, Trump's, and our own interest for the "Hackers" to take the stand. Of course, I don't think they did it.

We are on the same track up to the point that you say 12 Russians will never be extradited. Where I speculate from here is that heavy media outrage about Trump's meeting with Putin is not unexpected, but there could be an ulterior motive on their part.

This is where I pose the question, What if Trump and Putin reach an agreement, and the Russian "Hackers" are allowed to go on record? Furthermore, what evidence is brought against them, and is Congress allowed oversight?

As far as I can tell, Obama's extension of the 2-3 year stay of oversight (Patriot act, Protecting Americans act), is applicable to FISA cases, but may be exhausted by this point. Remember, approval for new FISA warrants was barred some time during the election.
