One begets the other

You cannot come to the official conclusion that Russia mettled in the 2016 election and than avoid answering the issue of collision by the trump administration. One begets the other.
If the official conclusion is that they, Russia, hacked the DNC and Podesta’s emails and were coordinating a campaign through social media to influence the election, the logical and easily answered question is “in whom’s favor?” And the easy answer is “trump” and the next but a little less easy to answer question with empirical and publicly available data, is “to what end?”
Though it’s a fore gone conclusion. Given the unprecedented level of proven connections between between members of his campaign staff and administration within the Russia government and Putin’s inner circle and the Russian mafia as well as the now verified attempt to alter the outcome, collusion is the obvious answer to that question.
