Sen Susan Collins continues to believe that no outside independent prosecutor is needed and she states that Senate intelligence committee can handle the investigation with bi-partisan staff.

That is not the whole issue. Nothing is mentioned though of having full time staffers dedicated for this investigation
only. Does she not realize the committee is understaffed? The small staff is still working on other projects as for well. We need an outside group that will dedicate their whole time to this investigation, and nothing else.

1. Clueless.

2. so disappointing, Susan

you always disappoint me.

3. Oh, but maybe we can "work with her"

Why don't we see if there are any of our values or positions that we can compromise just to get her pretend she's going to work with us.

5. I listened to it. Collins did say she recommended hiring an experienced prosecutor for Committee

She recommended someone in particular to Burr/Warner but would not say who.

6. The whole republican part is part of it

Sen. Susan Collins: "The idea that we would accept any evidence from President Putin is absurd"

[Sunlei]

8. close to subpoenas so Republicans want to shut them up

[DFW]

9. I've met her

She is not evil like most of the Republicans in the Senate, but she is far from being the brightest star in the constellation.

[world wide wally]

10. She is the one who said Hillary is one of the most qualified people to ever run for office,

but she would vote for Trump because he was a Republican.
So much for the "brains" part.

[turbinetree]

11. If anyone thinks that she is not a political hack

then this vote says everything about this right wing so called "moderate" marching lock step to the BS..................of hypocrisy

Hey Collin's TREASON is TREASON, you can't change that or this revelation coming down the pike, your sexual predator president is trying and tried to "obstruct" a investigation into TREASON, this is fact, your "guy" has committed TREASON and your Leadership is aiding and abetting in the TREASON, you put your party over country--------------every time, and then you do a song and dance of mirrors of BS


And Collin's if there had been a democrat elected into that office you would have voted to have that person criminal charged and IMPEACHED, lets go back and read what you said about Clinton in 1999, for a man and woman that had "consensual sex", now what do you say on TREASON..................not much .

Which Collins was and is more dangerous, having sex with co-worker, or being a lackey to a foreign state government ........................

12. Yet another repug with HUHA syndrome...

That's HEAD UP HER ASS, typical malady for the thugs these days.

[Girard442]

13. Yet another situation that proves there are no moderate Republicans.

They think they can fool us by occasionally criticizing Republican leadership, but they always support them, save for those situations where a vote is safely in the bag and they can cast a meaningless "nay".

If Trump were tossing babies into a woodchipper on live TV, Collins would take the "moderate" point of view and observe that he could have gotten his point across with fewer babies.

14. republicans

have truly sold their souls. it will not end well for them in my opinion. unfortunately it's likely that it will not end up so well for the rest of us either because they are busy, busy, busy all the time tearing the country to shreds.

[ananda]

15. I watched that segment.

It sounds like she wants a special prosecutor and has recommended
one to the committee, though she wouldn't say who.

[hatrack]

16. Fuck Susan Collins

Beyond prattling about how "troubled" she is, she won't lift a fucking finger to do ANYTHING to upset her "team".

[Juliusseizure]

17. "My party makes me do immoral things"

That's what I hear when she talks. "I'd like to do the right thing but my party forces me to act like a sociopath. Sorry."

18. Collins is wrong about this. She better smarten up quickly or she will face consequences

from the voters. She seems like she is getting out of touch with the people of Maine.

[Honeycombe8]

19. She's wrong. Senate Intel has not caught ANY of this. They're not a true investigation body.

They just review info and move at a snails pace, AND ARE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.

[dalton99a]

20. Collins is a Republican, first and foremost

[David__77]

21. I imagine her reinventing herself after she's left the Senate.

She may even leave the Republican Party, after leaving the Senate, of course. For now, she will play the game she's been playing.

23. Aiding and abetting

Fuck you Sue

[not fooled]

24. Typical

When she hopes to appease her more sane constituents and appear moderate, and when nothing's really on the line, she will waffle re bad puke positions.

But when it counts, she goes full-on puke.

[BigDemVoter]

25. She is a worthless piece of shit and has NO integrity.

ANY descriptions of her as a "moderate" are utter and complete BULLSHIT.

[Freethinker65]

26. No need for Collins.
