Maine's Congressional Delegates' Response Along Party Lines

[ProudLib72]

I stumbled across this and found it interesting: http://www.wmtw.com/article/maines-congressional-delegation-reacts-to-comeys-firing/9628940

Republican Senator Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, had this to say:

Any suggestion that today's announcement is somehow an effort to stop the FBI's investigation of Russia's attempt to influence the election last fall is misplaced. The President did not fire the entire FBI; he fired the director. I have every confidence that the FBI will continue to pursue its investigation. In addition, I am certain that the Senate Intelligence Committee, on which I serve, will continue its own bipartisan investigation and will follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Rep. Chellie Pingree, a Democrat, said, "Why is President Trump firing FBI Director Comey now? Why wasn't he asked to resign on January 20th? Was the FBI making progress on the Russia investigation?

For months I've called for an outside, special prosecutor who will give the American people the answers they deserve. 'You're fired' is not something you should be able to tell the person investigating you. This isn't a game show."

There is more, and it is just what you'd expect. It is really interesting how clear the division is and how completely undisturbed the GOP delegates are by the firing of Comey.
