Again, this never happened. First of all, the Steele Dossier was raw intelligence, not meant to be taken as fact. It was paid for initially by Republicans, not HRC's campaign, so pinning it on her is disingenuous. Also, there were clear links between the trump campaign and Russia, including some that led to arrests of his folks and some that should have (Jr's meeting that trump helped him lie about).
Your own link (and common sense) disputes your claim that it was proven HRC's campaign did this:
> The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation or the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication.
It was Russian disinformation creating and spreading the lie that you are boldly posting on here.

Name one Trump person who was arrested (let alone convicted) for something actually, directly related to Russiagate.
Papadopoulos: Indicted for making a false statement to FBI.
Manafort and Gates: Indicted for not registering as foreign agents of Ukraine (which, you might have noticed, is sort of an enemy of Russia right now)
Flynn: Indicted for making a false statement to FBI. (Forced by lack of legal fees into pleading guilty, which later caused problems when the government tried to drop charges.)
Pinedo (Who? Exactly): Indicted for identity fraud.
van der Zwaan: Indicted for making false statements (and not an American, anyway).
Cohen: Indicted for making false statements.
Stone: Indicted for making false statements and witness tampering.
Then we have people like Carter Page, whose name was raked over the coals for years because a FBI lawyer intentionally altered evidence (<https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/09/us/politics/fbi-ig-report...>) showing that far from being a Russian asset, Page had for years briefed the CIA every time he met with suspicious Russians. (Got to love how the Times describes said altering evidence as a "serious error".) You want an actual Russiagate-related indictment and guilty plea? Kevin Clinesmith, said FBI lawyer, is your man.
- Roger Stone (he lied about his work with Guccifier 2.0, and wikileaks which was working as an arm of the Russian government)
- Paul Manafort (his work in Ukraine was done on behalf of Russia - I mean seriously read about the shit he did: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/05/ex-trump-aid... - also linked with wikileaks, but not in the US election context afaik). And where did the former leader of Ukraine, Yanukovych, who Manafort propped up flee to when the shit he and Manafort did together came out?
- We know Jr attempted to get the Russian governments help and had a meeting in trump tower about it, that his dad helped him lie about (obstructing justice in the process)
