"collusion is not a crime"??

As soon as Trump said there was "no collusion", I knew they'd eventually say nothing was wrong with collusion.

They colluded with a foreign government to steal the US Presidency. And it's not like this foreign country was Canada, it is Russia, who is our adversary.

is a crime. That is absolutely their belief.

If the Trumpers are ever capable of believing there was collusion, they will applaud it as patriotic for "saving the country".

"collusion" is not a crime, but "coordination" is, so may be a matter of semantics and Fox is trading on that technicality.

Fomenting a conspiracy through collusion can violate RICO. Two mafia dons collude to take over a third don's rackets. They've already broken the law, but haven't done anything but collude.

So, they're wrong.

Unless we are in a state of war.

But the RICO laws probably have something to cover this

It makes me think that the administration is really getting worried that something is going to stick.

If a trumpeter colluded in illegal hacking or in securing illegal political contributions or in illegally revealing private information then that collusion is the crime of criminal conspiracy. But colluding in getting Trump elected in legal ways is not a crime.

But subornation of perjury, perjury, and obstruction of justice are crimes and one can be guilty of all those even if the underlying act was legal.

A great example is Clinton's consensual blow job. It was legal. The cover up is what created legal exposure for him and Monica Lewinsky.


Also, if there is evidence of collusion that's an impeachable offense.

and of course, Faux news would be the first to say that if Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama or anyone else on the Democratic side of the aisle had talks with the Russians and wanted to secure a private back channel to their leaders.
