And not that long ago he put more sanctions on them than was requested by Obama. So you can not read anything into that.
I skimmed your timeline. It's pretty much junk. You can make a timeline like for basically anyone. If you have enough public activity some of it is going to line up.
> All of that investigation is currently secret however.
That's not an excuse for you to declare case over. So far every time people claim to have some evidence or other, it's all been nothing.
Trump says a lot of stupid things, but I've never found anything that makes him beholden to the Russians. And in fact, even if they did help him, Trump, of all people, would feel perfectly free to completely not care.
He's already well known for ignoring political norms. Ignoring the norm of helping people who help you would be completely typical for him.
Who said the “case was over”? It’s clearly an ongoing investigation, which will hopefully be allowed to proceed to its conclusion despite the president’s ham-handed efforts to obstruct it.
Why do you think Trump’s campaign was so filled with people traveling back and forth to Russia, having secret meetings with Russian intelligence assets, trying to set up secure communications channels directly to the Russian government, and so on? Why do you think they have spent so much effort on publicly lying about those meetings and communications, and so much effort on shutting down the investigation about it?
Are you referring to this? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-sanctions/trum...
The special counsel is presumably constructing a more fleshed out case looking at proving a direct quid pro quo, using witness testimony, financial records, etc. All of that investigation is currently secret however.
