Though a president might not be able to be convicted of "Conflict of Interest" everyone on earth understands that Trump's businesses are all a conflict of Interest for ANY President. And so, collusion "Or Russian MONEY" going into Trump's coffers or family coffers in any way, shape or form is what likely will convict him and/or members of his family or Trump Staffers in the end. So, I fully expect Russian money going into one or more of the 150 Trump businesses in a strange way will be what convicts he and members of his family and his staff in the end.
Because Mueller has the legal authority to ask for ALL Tax returns and ANY business documents he wants to look at now even if they weren't shared with the public (at least at this point).

(CNN)A
former Trump campaign aide is requesting that President Donald Trump
set up a legal fund to help associates ensnared in the federal probe
into Trump campaign contacts with Russia.
The
ex-staff member, who told CNN he is racking up legal fees after hiring
an attorney in order to respond to questions from federal investigators,
also said he was never paid for his work for the campaign. He requested
anonymity to speak candidly.
"In many ways, the Trump associates are the real victims here," the ex-staffer said.
"The
world (is) going after them and Trump (is) leaving them abandoned on
the battlefield," he added. "Yet many lives will be ruined in the
process."
The White House declined to comment on whether administration officials have issued legal guidance to White House employees.
"We are not going to comment on matters pertaining to the investigation," White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.
Other
former campaign officials said it was difficult to estimate how many
staff members have been in contact with federal investigators.
"My heart aches," one former campaign official said of ex-staffers who might be caught up in the Russia investigation.
Ex-campaign
chairman Paul Manafort and fired national security adviser Michael
Flynn, are among the former campaign officials said to be of interest to
federal investigators. But the former campaign aide who spoke with CNN
about his own legal woes said there are others who may not have the
financial means to withstand a lengthy probe.
In
addition to mounting legal fees, the former campaign staff member also
expressed concern about how his job prospects may be affected by the
Russia investigation.
"At a
minimum, political careers dead and damaged ability to work in DC," the
ex-staffer said, insisting that there is still no evidence of Trump
campaign collusion with the Russian government to throw the 2016
election to Trump.
"There is still no stitch of evidence for collaboration or collusion," the former staffer said.
