Col·lu·sion!

Online definition,

""Secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others:""


I think the time has come to call it like it truly is, a Conspiracy and drop the word collusion from the story.


""The Open Secret About Trump’s Collusion With Russia""


https://newrepublic.com/article/1463...llusion-russia

""For one thing, Trump didn’t look or sound as if he was joking. To the contrary, he seemed quite serious. Moreover, Trump’s base clearly loved the idea of Russians purloining and publishing information that would damage Clinton. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., had felt the same way the month before Doral when he and other top aides met in New York with a well-connected Russian lawyer. Nor did mainstream Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell treat Trump’s message as a joke: They quickly announced that Moscow should be punished for its illegal interference.""

A vacuous article. There is a big difference about seemingly wanting to collude and colluding.

You see a vast difference. I see a little space, no more than stepping off a curb....

I'll settle for obstruction of justice and perjury, if need be.

Just the small space between life and death.

Sort of like the $150,000,000 the Russians gave Hillary.

Philanthropic obviously.

So, the Trump collusion nonsense is a diversion from the Clinton slush fund ?

I get it.

You don't. One is a crime and is being investigated, the other business as usual in politics.

Where Does Clinton Foundation Money Go?
Quote:
One independent philanthropy watchdog did an analysis of Clinton Foundation funding and concluded that about 89 percent of its funding went to charity.
Now how about the Trump Foundation? Last I heard it got shut down. Wonder why?
