Rumors about Donald Trump's purported ties to Russia have circulated roughly since the July 2016 DNC Leaks and subsequent allegations that information dumped via WikiLeaks was an attempt to attack Hillary Clinton for the mutual benefit of those entities. But the Slate article (presented as a question in its title) simply strung together circumstantial details to suggest Trump had a server connection to Russia. A concurrent and a subsequent look at its conclusions (the latter by a cybersecurity expert who was not anonymous) asserted that the claims were unsubstantiated and likely amounted to nothing.

Trump's giving aid to a foreign intelligence agency/cybercriminal? Your Snopes link focused on whether one of Trump's servers was connected to a Russian bank, which they classified as "unproven". How is that a counterpoint to Nance's statement? Answer: it's not!

Edited to add a question mark.
