They're separate issues. No one's above the law -- not the President, not Republicans, not Democratic leaders or former candidates.
The Dems can't get Trump in or out of trouble in terms of the Russia investigation. Whether any collusion is uncovered and whether the president is implicated should be based on the facts and evidence discovered. If there's no evidence of collusion with a foreign government and no evidence of other illegality, great. If there is evidence, anyone who broke the law should be held accountable.
As for the agreement between the DNC and Clinton, she raised the money which (according to Brazile) she then ultimately controlled. Even though it's shitty and was unfair to the other Democratic candidates in my opinion, I don't see how it could be deemed illegal. Even so, it hurts the image of the party and will be used over and over by the President and Republicans against Democratic congressional and gubernatorial candidates.
I imagine a lot of Democrats wish Hillary Clinton would just ride off into the sunset at this point.
