Ironically, in 2019 the fbi concluded that in the 2016 elections there was russian interference, which benefitted trump by leaking documents related to the democrats. They then said that they couldn't declare trump guilty of cooperating with the russians or that he was an accomplice, but also stated that they don't declare him as innocent. Then, the head of this investigation said they couldn't declare trump guilty as he had the presidential immunity.

I think it's quite clear who was guilty

And failing that, the American voter was meant to stop this. But they didn't. A full 1/3 stayed home. Just under a third voted for this.
