Collins: No need for special prosecutor

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.

So much for the "brains" part.

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 ........................

(6,070 posts)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.

(28,858 posts)It sounds like she wants a special prosecutor and has recommended
one to the committee, though she wouldn't say who.

not fooled
(5,801 posts)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.

(4,150 posts)ANY descriptions of her as a "moderate" are utter and complete BULLSHIT.
