Russian collusion has just as much 'evidence' as any of the aforementioned, according to the same 'intelligence' communities who presented their concerns and suspicions.
Exactly the opposite. Every intel head including the DNI(Director of National Intelligence) testified they so no evidence of collusion. I guess you have better sources?
The intelligence community wouldn't have anything to say legally as far as collusion goes... That's a legal, domestic matter (which law enforcement, usually the FBI, would take lead on) or a congressional impeachment matter (or a combination of both).
US intelligence agencies neither blankly operate within the domestic US nor enforce any domestic law on citizens or those who normally reside within the US.
That said though, intelligence community heads have publicly stated that Russian interference occurred in multiple ways. The specific question regarding collusion between the campaign and Russia is a legal matter though; we'll have to wait on hearing about - and so far Mueller isn't talking and the two congressional investigations have mostly gone non-public.
What are you talking about? Russia collusion is not a domestic affair, it is between Trump and a foreign entity which the CIA,NSA and DNI have jurisdiction. Secondly The FBI, CIA and DNI have already Testified on this issue in public hearings so your statement that the intelligence agencies wouldn't have anything to say about it is False.
You don't understand, collusion has to be a domestic affair because it would take US citizens to do the colluding and be held accountable for it.
The CIA, NSA, etc are agencies which are constitutionally barred from investigating US citizens. And even so, they still have no powers of prosecution or arrest. Investigation, arrest, prosecution, etc has to be done by a law enforcement agency (usually the FBI) or politicians can be held accountable by Congress.
The DNI is not an agency - it's a person. Also, the FBI is not an intelligence agency, it's a domestic law enforcement agency (federal).
