So yeah. There isn't too much evidence about how much involvement Trump had in whatever negotiations were taking place. But there is no evidence that Putin was involved. But I suppose your theory is that they were communicating. Maybe. Idk.
Your points 3-5 are all pretty questionable. 3 means nothing. For 4 what are the connections and what shenanigans?
I've read about Felix Slater. It's a pretty dubious theory to think he had some involvement. If he did, then given that he is now working with the FBI as an informant then we should assume Mueller knows everything.
I wonder how much of your conviction of Trump's guilt stems from what you perceive as actual foreign policy related benefits that Trump has given to Russia either through actions in Syria or China trade war like you said or whatever?
