They might have smoking guns on Manafort or someone like him, but that doesn't directly implicate Trump. Without an actual recorded call of Donald Trump himself saying to someone in the Kremlin, "Yes, we're happy to work with you in order to win the election," the guns aren't as smoky as the IC may like.
We don't really need Trump collaborating with foreign actors, we just need proof that he knew his staff was.
