It's Time to Retire the Word "Collusion" When Describing Trump's Machinations

It soft-pedals his actual crimes. It would be more accurate to describe his maneuvers as conspiracy.

As much as he admitted he would conspire with a foreign nation on political opponent dirt..."See what you can get for me on____________. Then get back with me."

That would constitute conspiracy.

As a matter of fact, as far as we know, "Crimes against humanity" may have already been committed at our southern border. Does anyone really think that Trump would hesitate to do that, or give a rat's ass?
