Regarding Trump campaign & Russia: “Toward a conclusion on Collusion or instead a Collusion illusion” - there’s only a few questions Mueller team needs to answer......
1- in 2016, did then candidate Trump or any of his campaign members know that stolen emails provided to Wikileaks were coming from Russia?
Evidence for this already available. Aussie tip regarding Papadopoulos hearing of Russia emails spring 2016, and the most relevant, President Trump himself July 2016 calling out “Russia” and “emails” alongside the timeline in Stone indictment July 2016 reaching out Wikileaks.
If there’s to be a collusion conspiracy set of charges, more testimony, evidence of Trump campaign awareness would have to come forward, I do imagine there are more dominoes to fall.
Question 2 - did anyone from Trump campaign solicit, accept or receive offers of assistance from Russia? The Trump Tower meeting speaks for itself - held under belief compromising info on Clinton would be offered. Attempted or failed Collusion is still Collusion
Question 3: Did Wikileaks &/or Assange know the stolen emails they were posting came from Russia? This is a close the loop question for conspiracy, showing them as a conduit between Russia-Trump campaign
No way for public to know. From the beginning, Wikileaks system offered plausible deniability for Russia, which is why the Kremlin liked the so much. Two didn’t necessarily need to communicate as long as they are on same agenda
