It would indeed lead directly back to them.
It is on record that Mueller has met with and collaborated with at least one Russian Oligarch.
Deripaska would like nothing more than to have both the Magnitsky Act lifted as well as the ban that Trump just put in him.
It does bring to lights a most interesting set of connections though:

Oh, and Deripaska has very close ties to Putin.
So actual, real, documented, Russian collusion, anyone? Beuller? Beuller?
And there's even more of a web. Remember that McCain was feeding the Steele dossier to the FBI (even though the FBI already had it?)
Geez, they are making this really easy.
