In fact his testimony, if true, proves that Trump wasn't colluding with Russia.
His big claim that Trump knew in advance about the release of the DNC emails that showed that the DNC was violating it's own rules in order to keep Bernie Sanders from being the nominee is based on the fact that Roger Stone had been talking to WikiLeaks.
First if Stone was talking to WikiLeaks and that's how Trump knew in advance that the emails were coming out it proves that Trump wasn't colluding with Russia since if he were colluding with Russia he wouldn't need to talk to WikiLeaks to find out about the emails.
Second if Trump was colluding with Russia about the release of the DNC emails Stone would have had no reason to talk to WikiLeaks and lots of reasons to not talk to them.
If Trump was colluding with Russia he'd know in advance about the emails and the last thing he'd want to do is talk to WikiLeaks thereby making a link between himself and the emails. On the other hand if he, like everyone else in DC, knew that WikiLeaks had something but didn't know what it would make sense that Stone, like lots of other people in DC, would reach out to WikiLeaks to find out what was going on.
This is one more example of how what the #FakeNews media spins as being damaging to Trump information that actually clears him.
