Collins Says She And Other GOPers Working On Impeachment Rules To Ensure Witnesses | Talking Points Memo

Why does anybody give her any attention at all outside of Maine where they need to understand how this senator behaves???

Collins will be very, very concerned when the effort, with her help, fails.

No, it’s McConnell. She’s negotiating her capitulation in exchange for yet another immediately broken Moscow Mitch promise.

Witnesses? She must mean Biden, Schiff, and Biden.

Coming on the same day as Pelosi’s statements, it does make me wonder if someone sent her private assurances. I wouldn’t think so, but who knows how they play the game over there?

I do not trust her to tell the truth under any circumstances.

OTOH - Nancy is prepared to make her move next week. Maybe she knows more than Susie is letting on.

Susan Collins said nothing that is worth reporting.

This could so end up like the agreement with Flake to insist on an investigation of Kavanaugh. It looked good on paper but in reality it ended with pretend action followed by the bulldozer of partisan votes. I am skeptical.

I just don’t believe her or any Republicans when they say things like this. Good grief, Senator, you voted for Kavanaugh and everything else these grifters have asked for. And you think you’re to be believed about a fair trial presided over by Chief Justice Roberts and judged by impartial senators. Give me an effing break!

What about Trumppp? Wasn’t he dying to be heard? Please, please, please let him insist on “testifying” so that he can ramble on about the attendance at the inauguration, how he won 2016 fair-and-square and how stupid fat people drinking diet coke look. Then I want him to collapse in real-time, on the floor of the Senate, and stare up at the ceiling with drool beading up at the corner of his mouth while S. Service folks circle around him without touching him because he has told them never to touch him, and…is it quitting time yet?

Just like Senator Flake asked for more time to investigate Kavanaugh, which was a sham but gave the reluctant ones cover to vote for his confirmation.

You have cried crocodile tears one too many times, Senator, and now no one believes you.
Bummer.

I wouldn’t even give her credit for good intentions.

Did Susan Collins just say something. If so, it was probably a lie. I know that because she has a lonely “R” in her title.
