Senate Susan Collins (R-ME) said Friday that she is coordinating with a “fairly small group” of Republicans, including senators and party leaders, on an agreement on impeachment trial rules that will allow witnesses to be called, according to the Bangor Daily News.
Collins group is a few of those Repugs seeking reelection and desperately looking for cover when witnesses are not called. They will of course not pursue calling witnesses or introducing documentary evidence seriously but be very ‘concerned’ on the way.
Screw you, Susie. I (and alot of other Maine voters) remember the ‘assurances’ you got when you voted for the tax give-away to the rich, when you voted Besty DeVos out of committee and when you approve Beer-Boy Brett to Scotus.
You never got ANYTHING! You are a useful idiot for Trump and McConnell.
I will do my utmost to see that you are kicked to the curb this November.

Senator… and I have s pristine lakeside property in Ukraine to sell to you…
This is mere ass-covering on Collins’ part, unless it opens the way to a real trial of the evidence. If such a trial with witness testimony were held it could introduce further bombshell evidence that Trump should be removed. At that point, McConnell could lose 6 or 7 senators, not enough to remove, but certainly a clear majority. And it would look like McConnell wants to give Trump carte blanche to do whatever crazy stuff his inner voices are telling him to do.
Under tower and balcony,
By garden wall and gallery,
A pale, pale corpse she floated by,
Deadcold, between the houses high,
Dead into tower’d Camelot.
Knight and burgher, lord and dame,
To the planked wharfage came:
Below the stern they read her name, “She Who Knows Diddley Squat.”
Lets be blunt here. When Susan Collins says she is working on allowing witnesses, I don’t believe her. I don’t believe one word she is saying. Not one.
Having witnesses is not in Collins interest (it would make her vote to acquit harder), but she does not want to look like she is trying to hold them back, as that will not go over well in Maine.
So she lies.
Tell me when Mirkowski, or Romney is looking at witnesses. I will believe what they are saying. Hell I would believe someone like Pat Roberts and Lamar Alexander. Not Collins.
