On a scale of 1-10 how likely was it that Trump, Comey, and Putin were in cahoots?

3. I don't think Comey was in cahoots with them

He was trying to save face within the FBI and preserve his legacy. The Repub type agents were stomping mad at him for not suggesting charges (even though the review team voted unanimously against charges). Resignations were piling up on his desk and people were shunning him. He HAD thought his legacy was so great that his name might be on the new building but it suddenly went poof.

This isn't meant to give him an out. The press conference alone was way out of bounds.

I have no doubt that Trump and his team were working with/for Russian interests. Trump owes them collectively lots of money and from an article I read here yesterday he could very well be their money laundering agent.
