BENEFITS OF A TRUMP PRESIDENCY:
Russia would benefit by reducing or eliminating the US sanctions that are keeping them from enriching their coffers. Presumably, in return, they would stop some or all support for Iran.
What I remember about Saudi Arabia was the real surprise. It wasn't just a need to hamstring Iran. Sounds like they want in on a nuclear plan that might have been a switch and bait. In other words, plans for nuclear energy plants, but they wanted to buy materials from other sources. And that made people wonder if their real intention was to build nuclear warheads.
They also were looking for people who were problematic to them: An enemy's list. This they received from Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner who was given access to sensitive information by Trump. When the murder of Khasoghi came to light, Pompeo went with the intention of offering advice on how to cover up their tracks.
COLLUSION MIDDLE-MEN
Two men were named, each representing a different country. One was Russia. They were the intermediaries that would establish the lines of collusion/conspiracy with Trump, or Trump, Jr.
