If Working with Moscow Is ‘Collusion,’ It’s a Bipartisan Offense
By Andrew C. McCarthy

When the “collusion†music stopped, was Donald Trump the guy left without a chair?
If the latest reporting is accurate, we’ll find out soon enough. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is said to be wrapping up his probe. His final report could be submitted to Attorney General William Barr in a matter of days.
Did Trump and his presidential campaign “collude with Russia†in the sense of conspiring to commit cyberespionage? That is, were they complicit in Russian intelligence’s hacking attacks on Democratic-party email accounts? There has been no indication that Mueller has such evidence. That is significant because Mueller is a prosecutor. Notwithstanding the irregular counterintelligence framework of the special counsel’s appointment, the principal job of a prosecutor is to determine whether crimes were committed. Espionage conspiracy is the collusion crime that launched the investigation.

Espionage conspiracy is the collusion crime that launched the investigation.
Where did this term originate? I don't remember hearing anything about "espionage conspiracy" until I saw it in this article. Is this the media trying to "help" Mueller? 333cleo
