Jonathan Turley doesn't know what collusion is [View all]

on Morning Joke a few minutes ago. Meaning he doesn't think collusion is a crime. He has been saying for month 'where is the crime?'

So let me clear away his bullsh*t.

Collusion is an agreement between two or more parties, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair market advantage. It is an agreement among firms or individuals to divide a market, set prices, limit production or limit opportunities.[1] It can involve "wage fixing, kickbacks, or misrepresenting the independence of the relationship between the colluding parties".[2] In legal terms, all acts effected by collusion are considered void.[3

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collusion

Collusion with the Russians to affect the outcome of an election is illegal.

Collusion with the Russians to influence the election in return for lifting sanctions is illegal.

Collusion with the Russians to lie about foreign contacts is illegal.

Collusion with the Russians to interfere with the investigation into collusion with the Russians is illegal.

So, asswipe Turley, here is the crime you are looking for.
