Collusion and conspiracy are the same. Criminal conspiracy IS A CRIME. ERGO so is criminal collusion. Now I know semantics gets kinda tricky but what is the differen ce between a bank ROBBERY and a bank HEIST? None. All this circumlocution meant to confuse and obfuscate only makes the confusers look pathetic and ridiculous and ignorant.
COLLUSION
"A secret agreement esp. for fraudulent or treacherous purposes; CONSPIRACY"
"A secret understanding between two or more persons to gain something illegally, to defraud another of his or her rights"
CONSPIRACY
"The act of conspiring"
"An evil, unlawful or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot"
The FIRST SYNONYM FOR CONSPIRACY IS COLLUSION.
Any of you who insist on buying the lies RudyG et al is selling should CONSULT A DICTIONARY. COLLUSION/CONSPIRACY ARE THE SAME. NO DIFFERENCE. NONE. ZERO. NADA. ZIP.
If you can read and comprehend then you can understand. Otherwise fuggeddaboutit! Sheesh. So much time spent promulgating baldfaced lies and people are buying them. SIGH
