Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine sits down with Face the Nation Host John Dickerson to discuss President Trump's wiretap accusations, the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation into Russia and healthcare reform.

"It would probably be helpful if he gave more information, but it also might be helpful if he just didn't comment further and allowed us to do our work," she said about the Intelligence Committee investigation.

It would be helpful if Maine would stop re-electing this moron for a senator.

Would you prefer that Maine elected a Democrat instead?

-- It's laughable that Collins is on the Sen Intelligence Committee. --

Yes, it is. And before her, Snowe on Armed Services. But the senate is a joke in its own right. I do not see it getting its act together. It is content with assuming the role that the press has assigned to it.

But, the house won’t DO anything. Trump will put their feet to the fire.

She appears to have Parkinson’s disease. Ever notice those tremors?

Susan Collins obviously doesn’t understand the separation of powers.

In her defense, the Trump administration just made a formal request for Congress to investigate the matter.

On the other hand, her advice to the Trump administration is silly because they have already indicated that they will not make any further comments while the investigation is underway.

Even you have got to admit, it’s pretty thin gruel with Susan Collins, very difficult to pinpoint very many tangible differences between her and a Democrat.

Maybe Maine isn’t capable of electing any better, but I look at their Governor LePage and think otherwise.

Do Trump’s Tweets give the left more ammunition?

Collins is a Democrat in an R jersey.
She’s not looking for the truth, she’s looking for a way to prop up the narrative about the “Russians did it”.

“...just allow us to do our work”??? Their “work” appears historically to ignore, obfuscate, avoid, deny, lie and generally be dishonest while they feather their (and their friends & relatives) nests. They are like cockroaches hiding under some trash.

Too many people are waking up and realizing that the President tried to use the Federal government to do the same thing to Trump that the DNC did to Sanders.

You nailed, it, that is their “work”, stealing as much as they can.

It would probably be helpful, after all these years, for RINOcrat Susan Collins to pull her head out of her keister.

Re: Susan Collins

Who is she trying to protect ..??

That’s always my first question whenever anybody in Congress or any govt position says other people should probably “not comment any further”.
