I have long believed that Putin and his oligarchs were and are too smart to ever directly "employ" Trump as a cohort to their attempt to meddle in the 2016 (and beyond) elections......Trump is too volatile...too unreliable.....too emotional.......and, honestly, too dumb to be trusted as a partner to Russian meddling.
Rather, the Russians relied upon surrounding Trump with easily corruptible stooges, and using social media sources to both deride Clinton and.....by extension....helping Trump who could easily be made into a Russian supporter by lauding him with compliments.
For those who openly laugh at....."where's the proof of direct collusion".......allow me to point out that collusion is not a legal crime but an ethical one......AND, that there must be a reason to WHY Mueller has indicted more than a dozen Russian GRU thugs and Russian companies...
Here's a short recap of Russian colluders and meddlers.....

In July, 12 members of the Russian GRU military intelligence agency were indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, identity theft, conspiracy to launder money.
The charges related to the hacking of emails from DNC servers in June 2016, which were then leaked online in a bid to damage Clinton's campaign.
The Russian government has denied the accusations.
A further 13 Russian nationals and three related companies had been indicted in February on charges of conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to commit bank fraud, identity theft.
The charges relate to Russia’s use of “troll farms” to spread propaganda and disinformation during the 2016 campaign, with the notorious Internet Research Agency and two companies created to finance it singled out in the indictment.
Among those charged was Yevgeny Prigozhin, the alleged financier of the operation and member of Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle, who runs a network of catering and restaurant businesses.
