Still puzzling questions about Trump/Russia collaboration

We learned that Trump was negotiating with the Russians to build a Trump Tower in Moscow right up to election day. Perhaps it went on even longer?

There was the sudden shutdown of a server in Trump Tower which was found to have been communicating with Alfa Bank in Russia? What were they communicating about?

Why did Trump bring up the name of Carter Page when asked about his foreign policy team? Where did he learn about Carter Page?

Who was Erik Prince representing when he met with the Russian in the Seychelles? What were they discussing?

Very early on, Jared Kushner was attempting to set uo a secret channel with the Russians, and run it out of the Russian Embassy, hidden from all
American intelligence? What was the purpose?

Trump refused to criticize Vladimir Putin for any reason? Why?

I think maybe we do need another investigation to discover the origins of the Trump/Russia romance?

I've wondered if the Trump Tower Moscow was actually a code name for helping T win the presidency. Pretty interesting if you compare project and election timelines.

It just happens that now the Russian "state" is basically just an organization to parse out the wealth of the nation amongst the oligarchs/mobsters, with Pooty-poot at the helm and raking in his taste from all over, and they worked from the start to put fuckface where he is...the Republicans do not care, and plenty of them are profiting personally from the situation; they have "moved on" and it will probably all fall by the wayside once we start bombing Iran.
