Anyone who conspired to collude with the Russians is a fucking traitor to the United States

And I believe it goes far deeper than just Trump and the White House...there are people who are members of Congress and the military who did as well....



Enemies both foreign and domestic

of law, but conspiring can be.

For us lay people, the words are interchangeable per Merriam Webster:

collusion: secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose acting in collusion with the enemy

conspire:a : to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or an act which becomes unlawful as a result of the secret agreement accused of conspiring to overthrow the government conspired to monopolize and restrict trade
b : scheme
