What information would need to be gathered from a foreign nation for it to become a federal crime involving an election.
Anyone care to inform me?

Collusion is not a legal term.

I am not sure, but mis-spelling collusion probably should be.

The only Collusion with the Russians was between the Democrats and Hillary Clinton.

Hacking emails is a crime. Foreign involvent including money in federal elections is a crime. Accessory and or conspiracy relating to crimes are crimes. So if you’re defining collusion broadly in layman’s terms as being an accessory or conspiracy then yes it can be a crime. But the term is not technically a crime.

No, you could literally have a video of Trump and Putin discussing working together to make Hillary Clinton look like an idiot and to get Trump to win, and there is no crime.
The ONLY way it could move into a crime is if Trump promised Putin something in return for either funding or something of value.
Putin could have emailed Trump a file called "all Russia's dirt on Hillary Clinton" and that is not illegal.
Further, in actuality, nothing Russia did RE Facebook was illegal either.
Now, foreigners can't contribute to a US election campaign, so perhaps one could make an argument that if Trump knew that a Russian gave information to the campaign that that information has intrinsic vale and then that would be illegal, but that's tough to prove that information has value. For example, did FaceBook violate the law when they gave Obama campaign data in 2012? Tough to prove that data has value and thus is a campaign donation.

collusion is a colloquial term that's convenient for characterizing conspiracies and a variety of substantive crimes (bank fraud, wire fraud, criminal hacking, election law violations, etc).
