There WAS collusion with Russia, and I think it will come out!
In the press conference, Putin brought up Bill Browder, and stated that Browder sent $400 million to the Clinton campaign. Bill Browder's lawyer was Sergei Magnitsky, who found out that Russian officials, and oligarchs, were embezzling $250 million from Browders company, Hermitage Capital Management. Magnitsky was imprisoned, and beaten to death in a Russian prison. Browder then lobbied for, and helped pass the Magnitsky Act, that was created to punish Russian oligarchs.
In 2016, Browder sent a letter to the DOJ, informing them of ongoing efforts by Russia to lobby the repeal of the Magnitsky Act. Here's a
link to that letter. Notice two of the main actors, a Russian cmopany called Prevezon, and Fusion GPS.
So, Fusion GPS was lobbying for Russia (ie. Putin), to repeal the Magnitsky Act. The above letter also mentions the workings of a lawyer for Prevezon, Natalia Veselnitskaya. If that name is familiar, it's the name of the Russian lawyer that met with Donald Trump Jr and was 'proof' of Russian collusion.
Now, tie this in with Stefan Halper, and his work on George Popadopoulos, to setup the meeting, and you have collusion between;
1) The FBI - Stefan Halper
2) Russia - Prevezon lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya
and
3) The Clinton campaign - Fusion GPS
So, why would Prevezon want to setup Trump, and for Clinton to win?
To get the Magnitsky Act repealed, or de-fanged!
Why did Putin bring up Browder? Because Clinton lost, and now has ZERO political clout. Putin knows that Trump is not going to be bribed into pushing repeal of the Magnitsky Act, so the best he can do, is to throw some turmoil into the US political scene.
There are 2 givens that can be taken from the press conference - 1) had Putin had the leverage against Trump that Democrats claim, like some pee tape, then Putin would not have brought up Magnitsky. And, 2) the noose that Hillary claimed would be around everyone's neck, if Trump won, has been throw over a large branch, and is waiting for it's first neck.
