To say “collusion” is not a crime because “collusion” is not in the criminal code is like saying “marital infidelity” is not a sin because “marital infidelity” is not in the Ten Commandments.

“Conspiracy” is a synonym used in the criminal code for what is commonly called “collusion.”

Adultery is a synonym used in moral theology for what is often called “marital infidelity.”

A jury will not acquit you if you choose to call your violation of the law “collusion.”

And your wife won’t be understanding if you call your adultery with a porn star or a Playmate “marital infidelity.” Either way, you’re screwed.
