Can we stop using the word "collusion'".........................

A synonym for collusion is CONSPIRACY

The use of the word collusion, does not indicate that a crime was committed. It has even been stated that collusion is not a crime. However if the media would use the word, conspiracy, it indicates to those reading & listening the seriousness of what has occurred.

So lets start using the correct word and all its derivatives such as conspiratiorial, etc.


col·lu·sion
[kəˈlo͞oZHən]
NOUN
secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others:
"the armed forces were working in collusion with drug traffickers" · [more]
synonyms: conspiracy · connivance · complicity · intrigue · plotting · secret understanding · collaboration · scheming
law
illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially between ostensible opponents in a lawsuit.

I know, I know....the constitutional definition of the word treason seems not to apply...I don't care Mr. Scalia's ghost...the fact of the matter is that the crime family current usurping the government of the USA is an abhorrent gang of thieves and liars and there IS an explanation to all of this subterfuge and dissemination coming from them on the Russia issue...

THEY ARE TREASONOUS BASTARDS DOWN TO IVANKA, AND THEY SHOULD ALL SWING FOR IT.
