None of these outcomes in anyway benefit Trump, so why would he enact them?

1. Pro Quid Pro - This for that.  We'll give you Snowden if you drop the investigation on Trump.



2.  Duh, of course they don't "benefit" Trump. Because their intent is to bring him down. Especially after he went after them with such vitriol.  My guess is being a noob and inexperienced he wrecklessly and carelessly was in touch with Russia throughout, and in turn asked them to do the hacking, or personally asked them for the emails. The CIA easily nabbed the intel to catch them, but it takes a while to build a case, and they're releasing it slowly. Look at Nixon, he was caught but didn't go down right away, took 2 years IIRC.

Outtakes below:

Three weeks before Election Day, Donald Trump Jr. left the campaign trail and the country to speak at a private dinner in Paris organized by an obscure pro-Russia group that promotes Kremlin foreign policy initiatives and has since nominated Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Nobel Peace Prize.

A key organizer of the event later told reporters she flew to Moscow to brief a senior Russian official about the session.

The White House referred question about the president’s son to the Trump Organization. A spokeswoman for the Trump business did not initially respond to questions from ABC News about why Donald Trump Jr. flew to France for the session during a critical phase of the presidential campaign, who arranged for him to attend, whether he was paid, what was discussed or if anyone vetted the group before he went.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Congressional sources told ABC News that Trump’s jaunt to Paris remains one of a number of episodes — some confirmed and others unproved — that have fueled suspicions that there was communication between the Trump team and the Russian government during the closing months of the 2016 presidential campaign.

In France and in Washington diplomatic circles, those familiar with the French think tank circuit told ABC News they had never heard of the CPFA. The organization has no fixed address, and neither of its founders, Fabien Baussart and Kassis, responded to calls and emails seeking an interview.

“I have been dealing with French think tanks and research institutes for 35 years, and I’ve never heard of it,” said Daniel S. Hamilton, the executive director of the Center for Transatlantic Relations at the Johns Hopkins Schools of Advanced International Studies. “That tells you something.”

Between that quote, and what he said about John McCain not being a war hero, it's astonishing he was elected President of the United States of America.

It is shocking, but that's an apt statement.

It's true. My friend and I were just discussing this a few days ago.
