Russia could have rendered that aid without Trump asking for them. But the biggest question now, which the investigations are probably trying to figure out, is: Did Donald Trump ask for or make specific promises to Russian officials prior to election which prompted them to interfere with the American election on his behalf?
He and members of his team had denied having pre-election contact with Russian officials, and that has been found to be false. It is not extraordinary for a Presidential candidate to meet with foreign heads of state/government officials. It happens quite frequently. So why did they feel the need to lie about that? My gut tells me they did cross some lines between stating policy objectives that could be seen as favorable to Russia and actually promising Russian officials these changes pre-election.

Wrong.
