I think people in the Trump campaign and Trump organization conspired to earn favor with Russians because of their previous contacts or in order to further the goals of the Trump organization. I think it’s plausible they did this without direction from Trump. I think the SDNY will indict Trump, Jr and/or Kushner.
However, I do think Trump has committed felony campaign finance violations and multiple instances of obstruction only because he sees himself as infallible and doesn’t think he can commit obstruction since it’s his DOJ.
That being said.....no direct conspiracy link to Trump, no impeachment and no indictment. Clinton obstructed and perjured and he’s still a free man.

I would agree except that The Trump Organization is really just Trump and his kids running it with just a couple of non family members at the top. He reportedly micromanaged everything which goes with his narcissism but doesn't fit with his laziness, so there is that conundrum.
Felony campaign finance violations are enough to send him to prison, especially since Cohen is going to do time for them. Also, WHAT you obstruct and what you lie about matters. Clinton did those things about a BJ, not germain to the original investigation. Trump is obstructing about conspiring with a foreign enemy nation to subvert our free and fair elections. Makes a difference. There will be bank fraud and money laundering too and possibly quid pro quo with other foreign nations (EAU, Saudi Arabia, possibly even Israel). Emoluments clause violation and other things likely too. Criminals gonna criminal.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
