There might be a limit of 13 allowed. I'm not real clear about that.

Conspiracy, collusion, fraud -- just ITTMFA! (And that's INDICT or IMPEACH, dealer's choice)!

Like many other terms, it seems to be used interchangeably with conspiracy, but carries a different meaning when talking about criminal acts and civilly liable actions.

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

Though collusion can be illegal it is not always, which is probably why Nance and many others, including me, think that we should be always talking about conspiracy when it comes to Trump's dealings with Russia.

One poster said that, "collusion with an enemy is treason", which I agree with in concept, however conspiring defraud the United States with an adversary nation like Russia sounds much more legally and ethically damning than collusion.

The crime (well, one of the many) for which Trump is being investigated is Conspiracy to defraud. When he goes off on his rants about collusion, it is both a term that he is more familiar with from his shady business dealing all these decades, but to Trump and others, collusion is not as big a deal. Conspiracy is the term that should be used.
