    Actually, "collusion" is the word Trump has trained the media to use, like obedient puppies, so as to avoid talking about "conspiracy," which is what everyone is and will continue getting charged with.https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/970773352662159361 …

    "Collusion" is a word @realDonaldTrump wants to disappear but today, on live TV, fmr. Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg claimed: 1- Trump "may very well" have done "something" with Russia during election 2- Carter Page colluded with Russians 3- Mueller believes Roger Stone colluded

        The Russians never let Trump or his people anywhere near their covert operation, would you? It could be true that there was no collusion within the Russian operation. But this wasn't a conspiracy to enter into a joint enterprise - it's a quid pro quo conspiracy - transactional.

        Actually doesn’t matter what word we or MSM use. Mueller knows how to type “conspiracy” in his indictments.

        Both sides employ buzzwords that get puked up on command by their followers, the right is just playing catch up in the media game. You can watch a phrase or word get started in the morning and by the next day most of the media is using it and then you overhear old ladies using it

        True. Also, we'll hear 10,000 times from that side that there's "no collusion", but you'll never hear any of them say what actually wld constitute collusion, or God forbid agree with *your* definition. Not hard to be innocent of a charge that isn't recognized as an actual thing.

        I agree, he prefers using the word "collusion", because he's probably guilty of much worse, that's why he's not afraid to say the word, as collusion in and of itself is not necessarily a crime. But you'll never hear him say "money laundering", or any of the other possible crimes.

        • It never happened. • It happened, but not the way you say. • It happened, and it happened the way you say, but it wasn't illegal. • It happened and it was in fact illegal, but The. Bitch. Was. Going. To. Win. 
 So it's all good, and America should thank us.

        Maybe there is a market for online short course on SC investigation for other journalists? Segments on Podesta/DNC, DCCC, etc. timeline, dossier timeline, legal terminology, charging docs, sure you can come up with more:)
