A Kremlin official said today that, despite what the WH claimed, Trump & Putin had a sit-down meeting at the G-20 summit, during which they discussed Syria policy.

Three weeks after G-20, Trump abruptly ordered US troops to withdraw from Syria.

Quid pro quo

This looks to me like part of the “quid” Trump is returning to Putin (via his oligarchs like Deripaska) for the “quo” Putin gave Trump (via Deutsche Bank and WikiLeaks, among other things) and continues to give him (by keeping Trump’s darkest secrets to himself). ⬇️ https://t.co/3qAuocrpyY

why no conspiracy

Why didn’t Mueller charge Stone with conspiracy? The rules in federal cases require that prosecutors provide defendants with broad discovery. By indicting Stone on a fairly narrow set of charges, Mueller limits what has to be disclosed & can protect ongoing investigation.
