Was Jimmy Carter elected w/ the possible help of Russia?? Reagan?? Nixon? Bush one or two?? bill clinton? Obama?? Just to name a few...........
It is unpresidentED that a foreign power, a foe, may have interfered in our elections on behalf of one candidate......(whom he & you now seek special accommodations for).
One that just so happen to have some dealing there, whose campaign & admin just so happen to have contacts w/ during the campaign..........
Contact w/ the very country that interfered, the very one he suggested hack hillary & find her emails-the press didn't make that shit up & other stuff-IT HAPPENED-no deep state needed.........
you are conflating separate issues.
1. The Russian hacking was no more then the Podesta Emails/DNC server -supposedly released to Wiki by a Russian cutout.
In no way did this swing the election.
Even the Clapper Assessment (jan) does not claim the Russian hacking changed the outcome of the elections
So yes there was "Russian interference" but not changing the election results,and there has always been Russian interference ,but because there was no internet, there was no previous hacking.
Prior interference ( Carter, Nixon etc.)was planting fake news articles etc.
2. Contact is not collusion.
It's clear Trump was referring to the Emails that Clinton destroyed on her hard drive,
the ones that were supposedly "yoga and wedding stuff" even though we have no idea if she limited those Email destruction to "non-work elated" Email as she claims
The truth of all this is that Hillary and the Dems blame about 40 different reasons why she lost
(not making this up) -
never accepting the fact her own Emails released by the State Dept ( not the Russians or wiki)
are what damaged her because she could never get past that, as she lied as necessary to get past a news cycle
only to have a next news cycle impeach her previous explanations
