    I’ve seen people making this argument online many times.

    “Republicans are actively shielding Trump and interfering with investigations. This could be considered a legally defined conspiracy.”

    “Half the country are republicans. Are you saying that half the country are criminals?”

    It’s conflating an obvious commonality among participants, and the fact that politicians and party leaders are overwhelmingly participating, with the average voter.
