So the latter theory is actual collusion. That's what I'm asking for.
The stuff before that doesn't present specific collusion activities. I guess what I'm asking is specific forms of cooperation occurred - did Team Trump seek to have certain information spread? Or something else. We have a lot of - here's why it looks like they talked to each other. I'm asking what was the suspected form of cooperation.
Oh, the Steele Dossier is about collusion as well.
It alleges that Team Donny and the Kremlin did a quid pro quo on our election. Went like this, roughly:
1. Kremlin let it be known it has compromising material on both Trump and Hillary. Did not reveal what was on Trump. Revealed what was on Hillary. Asked for Team Donny cooperation.
2. Team Donny agreed.
3. Kremlin made it be known it would hack Democrats to help Team Donny.
4. In return, Team Donny had to both hand over whatever it knew about Russian nationals (particularly those residing in the US) it had done business with (mob and legitimate, all of which are manifold) and agree to lift sanctions.
5. Finally, a 19 percent stake in Rosneft (this is where Carter Page comes into play) was to be passed on to Team Donny through a shell company(ies).
Also, the dossier alleges that payments were made to Donny (basically for his aid and for campaign financing) through shell companies and through the "pensions" of ethnic Russians (particularly of Jewish origin) living in the US.
On #3 - the DNC hack occurred just a few months after Trump announced and when no one thought he had a chance for the nomination.
On #4 - at the time of the deal Team Donny had none of this information and the likelihood he would get it (actually become elected) was basically zilch.
Taken together; the Russians must have talked to Future Man to make this play.
None of the Russian activities was designed to win the primary for Trump and the chances he would at the time of this deal were so low it's nuts.
Seems more likely Russia was expecting Hillary to win the nomination and Presidency. The efforts were aimed at helping Bernie and whoever the R nominee was.
As stated many times, I don't condone the Russian activities and the hacking part definitely is beyond the game countries play with each other. On the other hand, I recognize we (USA) meddle with elections frequently - I can only hope we don't go as far as Russia did.
I'll await the official evidence that any of the collusion stuff actually occurred
