Trump is literally too stupid to be some kind of undercover mole, or to coordinate with FSB in some kind of byzantine and explicit clandestine operation.
Russian state security also undoubtedly knows Trump is too freaking stupid to be trusted to be an official clandestine agent of FSB - he could not be trusted to totally blow his cover and give up the game.
I have always maintained that Trump is a useful idiot to the Kremlin.
Trump is obviously pro-Kremlin at some level. No American president, other than Trump, would ever say the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was justified.
It has always been about the Kremlin, to me. Russia and the former Soviet Union have spent the better part of seven decades trying to discredit western liberal democracy, weaken and undermine America's alliances, and to isolate and dilute American leadership and power.
Trump was the perfect dupe consistent with implementing the Kremlin's goals. The fact that he lost the popular vote by millions was just a bonus to FSB. What better way to discredit American democracy than to have an utter fool be installed in the oval office while being rejected by most voters.
Undoubtedly Trump actively sought Russian help in winning an American election. But that was for personal gain. I would be surprised if Trump was actively collaborating with FSB in some elaborate and byzantine counter intelligence scheme
