Stone was charged and convicted of lying to congress about knowing in advance about Wikileaks plans to realease the DNC's hacked e-mails. That has nothing to do with 'colluding with Russia'. If he was smarter, he simply would have answered 'I don't recall'....Like Hillary did for 21 of 25 questions in her testimony about destruction of e-mails....or better yet, he could have just told the truth as knowing in advance about Wikileaks trove of data is not illegal.
You must not have read the report. It stated unequivocally, multiple times, that such collusion had taken place. The investigation was unable to determine who instigated it (from the US side). The report specifically stated that such determination was impeded by Trump's multiple acts of obstruction of justice.
In other words, the report said that there was indeed collusion but that Trump had successfully interfered with the investigation, to the point where the origin of that collusion couldn't be determined.
It's obvious that you Trumpers are all just fine with Trump's obstruction of justice. Imagine if Obama had done that! You would all be running around the barnyard, squawking your heads off.
