Wanted to add some of my final analysis notes here - I left my conclusions at the link:

FINAL SUMMARY:

~We know the FBI visited him aligned with the dates that he said.

~There is zero proof of collusion.

~The sealed affidavit was about the hacks in 2012-2013.

~Russia does want him back, but that doesn't mean he hacked the emails or they are trying to use him as a pawn. He says he is innocent of the charges Russia is accusing him of as well - he is willing to go to Russia in light of the fact the charges are lighter and it's his home country.

~If he hacked the emails on the orders of the Russian government or this was a narrative they cooked up to try to discredit the Russia investigation, he would not be fighting the charges from the Russian government and declaring himself innocent.

~If Russia cooked up this narrative to discredit the FBI investigation, they'd be loud and vocal highlighting that the FBI is falsely accusing their citizen and demanding him back. In order to discredit, it has to have attention. They are giving it none.

~His attorney seems generally baffled and thinks he is a "political pawn."

~If he is guilty of these hacks in Russia & the U.S. or both, his denials would indicate a pattern of dishonesty.

~Russia does not like the U.S. arresting their people especially in these times, so that likely explains why they decided they wanted him instead.

~The FBI traveling all the way to Prague for a case like this is rare:

Mark Galeotti, senior researcher at the Institute of International Relations Prague, said the presence of Miller in Prague at least suggested that the case was no ordinary one. “An FBI agent travelling from the US to a third country as part of an extradition request is extremely unusual and highlights that the case is seen as significant,” he said.

~He was tried in a tiny room & is in poor health:

Tuesday’s hearing was held in a tiny room inside the prison, an unprecedented measure which was ostensibly for security reasons but also meant only four journalists could access the room. “In all my 25 years as a lawyer, I don’t remember any cases being tried inside the prison, including serial killers or organised crime cases,” said Martin Sadilek, Nikulin’s Czech lawyer.

Nikulin’s mother, who attended the hearing, declined to comment except to say she was worried that her son “looks like skin and bones” and that she believed the case was political.

~The promise of cash, an apartment, and U.S. citizenship seems like a lot, but the FBI may have been bluffing.

~Levashov and Lisov also seem to indicate the FBI is on a fishing expedition for Russian hackers...if not more.

~The FBI and the MSM are nearly radio silent. The deep state leaks to The Washington Post, New York Times, and CNN are not flowing on this issue, and these outlets have refused to even cover the story - very telling.

~That said, there were 10 people in the room, and none of them have indicated such a deal was offered.
