Actually Kiwi, it's not that they are saying collusion is a crime, they are saying quite the opposite. Rudy has been saying collusion ISN'T a crime for the past couple of days now.
I find it funny that they went from nobody was talking to the Russians, to well, okay, we talked with them about adoptions, to, well, actually it was about the Magnitsky act and sanctions, to there was no collusion, to, well, maybe there was communication between Trump and the Russians, but there was no collusion, to now, collusion isn't a crime. All that in just a year and a half.
Trump and Giuliani are right that 'collusion is not a crime.' But that doesn't matter for Mueller's probe
President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani sparked news headlines Monday morning by saying "collusion is not a crime."
The president himself weighed in Tuesday morning, echoing his lawyer's assertion.

But even if that's true, it won't help the president.
Giuliani and Trump are correct, technically speaking, that there is no charge called "collusion" that can be found in the federal criminal code.
And given that, Giuliani went on to say, then it doesn't matter if Trump or members of his presidential campaign actually "colluded" with Russians to interfere in the 2016 election.
