What's this?

To be fair, what is collusion? Is it a crime, is it in the U.S Code, can

it occur with allies, like Canada, or just with Russia, China, North Korea? Is collusion a short name for conspiracy? If so what is the crime that is being conspired? Is it treason? ( For which there has only been 35 convictions in U.S. history). Is it a form of espionage, and if so how?
I agree, it was slimy and unpatriotic, but what is the crime? Perhaps, only impeachment can punish the indiscretion.
