Fuck it then. For another pit sandwich and some 'tater salad, I'll post a few more.

This would hardly be the first time that a conspiracy theory was launched on the basis of an actual scandal. It may be that there was some amount of untoward behaviour or even something outright criminal (I mean in addition to the process crimes that were unambiguously criminal acts but which on their own don't prove anything about the underlying accusations) but that nevertheless the version of this story that was relentlessly hyped by the media was nevertheless a conspiracy theory.
Like... high-ranking persons Trump campaign probably actually cooperated (let's not use the other C-word) with the Russians to dig up dirt on Hillary in exchange for an implied or explicitly promised improvement in US-Russia relationships and end to the sanctions, but the reporting on the matter was just too melodramatic?

Trump probably definitely banged prostitutes in Russia but they probably didn't pee on him?

No one ever felt the need to explicitly state that the success of Trump's business interests in Russia was contingent upon his cooperation with Putin's regime?

 The one conspiracy theory that I pretty much believe is that Yuri Andropov was assassinated just as he got around to tackling the entrenched corruption in ruling USSR circles. Some sort of poison causing kidney failure and a falsified autopsy report would be pretty easy to arrange.

I'm upset that we thought the exact same words.
