On Friday, April 3, AD 33, before Jesus died at about 3pm, the book of Luke 23:12 says, "That day Herod and Pilate became friends-before this they had been enemies." Their common interests brought them together.
When politicians who have been enemies collaborate, it raises suspicion because, either they are coming together to forge a sense of fulfillment among their followers or are out for good-the latter is a dream. There is a lot of nothingness, in the mere sense of fulfillment.
