They colluded with a Brit former spy to create a dirty dossier about Trump and then using some of the same people who disseminated the dirty dossier tried to set up a meeting that was supposed to dish dirt about Hillary Clinton but did not live up their sales pitch.
In both cases, they were trying to sell each side on things that were not true about their opponents. The main difference is that the Democrats were more successful at using the levers of government to keep the lies about Trump in play by using the FBI and a hostile media.
