Maybe i'm missing something, but how does "Hillary Clinton & the Democrats" collude with Russia in the 2016 election when Putin wanted Trump to win? I must be missing something here...

“There has been no evidence whatsoever that Donald Trump or the campaign was involved in any kind of collusion to fix the 2016 election. In fact the evidence is the opposite, that Hillary Clinton & the Democrats colluded with the Russians to fix the 2016 election.” @GrahamLedger

I laid out the basic argument/suggested sequence of Russian-Cllinton collusion to the best of my knowledge here:

To my best understanding, this is essentially the argument:
Hillary Clinton and the DNC colluded with Russians through a series intermediaries: The DNC paid US attorney Mike Elias of Perkins Coie to hire Fusion GPS (headed by Glenn Simpson) for opposition research into Trump, which was gathered by Christopher Steele (former British MI6 agent who compiled the infamous 'dossier'), who was paying Russian sources for information about Trump. The net result being Clinton/DNC paying Russian sources for dirt on Trump.
Essentially: Clinton/DNC ---> Elias/Perkins Coie ---> Simpson/Fusion GPS ---> Steele ---> Russian sources
When Trump speaks of Russian-Clinton collusion in the 2016 election, I assume the above is the basic framework/argument he is referring to.
