Roger Stone was arrested for obstruction and false statements, not Russia collusion.
Michael Flynn plead guilty to making a false statement to the FBI, not Russia collusion. (No jail.)
George Papa-whatever plead guilty for making a false statement to the FBI, not Russia collusion. (14 days in jail.)
Michael Cohen was hit for campaign finance laws, tax laws, and a count of lying to Congress, not Russia collusion.

There was some guy in Callifornia hit for identity theft and 6 months in prison, and another guy in London hit for making false statements to the FBI and already served his 30 day sentence for it.

Real question, not picking a fight or anything. It just seems lying was the majority of the problems, most of it seemingly unnecessary by a lack of Russian Collusion-related charges on anyone outside of I think only Manafort.

Yeah. Manafort was really the only one involving Russians. And that was indirectly (Russian supporters in Ukraine).

I should qualify that with a "that we know of", because somethings are still being investigated or haven't been made open to the public. But then again, I wouldn't want to get people too excited. I suggest sticking to Barr's interpretative summary of what Mueller said for the moment.
