Maine Sen. Susan Collins promised the Senate would not confirm a replacement for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein if that individual would not commit to continuing the Russia investigation.
Collins, R-Maine, said on ABC’s “This Week” that if President Trump fires special counsel Robert Mueller and his boss, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, to end the Russia probe, the Senate won’t allow the investigation to stop.
“Only the deputy attorney general with fire him. That ... investigation is still going to go on,” Collins said. “So, it would not spell the end of the investigation. If a new deputy attorney general were nominated by the president, I cannot imagine the Senate confirming that individual without a clear commitment to appoint a new independent counsel.”

When we will FINALLY get around to opening some serious investigations on Hillary Clinton and her foundation, her lies, and her coverup. Senators would help the electorate restore confidence in the Justice Dept...if some Democrats came under investigation.
It’s hard to believe she stopped shaking long enough to get that sentience out.
She has been consistently stupid for as long as I can remember.
I’ve said all along, the republicans are responsible for all that is going on.
Too many “Republicans” in DC are on Hillary’s side. They don’t seem to realize that’s the evil side. Or, maybe they do realize it.
She’s just trying to sound tough. Like all the Senate Republicans. There’s not a true Trump supporter among them. Just part-timers.
However, if Trump fires Rosenstein, and he should, then he can interview (with Sessions) potential replacements from within the ranks of the DOJ.
When he finds one he likes, he can make an interim appointment and he’ll be vested with all the power of the position.
He’ll be “the acting” Deputy Attorney General.
And Ms Collins won’t get a vote on that.
Thanks Susan, now go join the Dembulb Party where you belong.
Surely there must be a person in Maine more intelligent than this idiot. Enough of this stupidity.
She is one despicable woman in my book.
They do and are rewarded for it.
Does anyone still believe that is true? I thought even liberals had given up on that one.
The Republican branch of the Uniparty has spoken.
I have no problem with this. Mueller can continue the Russian investigation for as long as he wants. We just need a new supervisor who will curtail his investigations of everything else.
Actually she has been consistent of being the female McCain. The bitch insults everyone by calling herself a Republican. She should just switch to the D’ because 99% of her votes are against the actual values of the GOP.
“She has been consistently stupid for as long as I can remember.”
I have to agree.
I'd take that deal. Leave Mueller alone to continue only the "Russian investigation". Fire Rosenstein and pick an new DAG such has Joe diGenova who would start prosecuting the Deep State on all of their crimes.
this woman is an absolute g-dmned cypher moron half-wit. A “republican” mental midget. How could anyone come the conculsion (except by being an idiot AND willfully un-informed and a clinton crony like the greek female senator that used to be her fellow Maine Senator.
She is not seeking re-election so now we can truly know what moronic thoughts and clearly disloyal false person she really is. Good riddance.
Not only that— she is dead wrong— because Rosenstein is going to be indicted FIRST then fired. And a result of the indictment will be to shut down mueller’s “investigation”.
