U.S. Sen. Susan Collins said on Wednesday she’s open to using a subpoena to investigate President Donald Trump’s tax returns for potential connections to Russia.

Collins, a Republican who has served as a U.S. senator from Maine since 1997, sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. She appeared on Maine Public Radio to talk about issues including the investigation.

Collins was asked if the committee would subpoena Trump, who’s also a Republican. She said she hopes for “voluntary cooperation” but is open to using a subpoena if necessary. …

I live in Maine and I hat her damn guts.

Did she seriously say she’s going to run for governor of Maine?

I’ve heard rumors but nothing concrete.

I would considering moving to another state if this b*tch is elected governor.

I did a write-in in 2014 when this witch was re-elected to the Senate.

Because that’s in the Constitution, you know. Intelligence Committee? Do they have a maximum level of intelligence to be on the committee? It sure seems like. Do do birds.

McShame and Lindsay and Collins all need to be Retired just as soon as humanly possible

they’re very unreliable and often disruptive and working more for the SOroz.Obama. trouble-makers and seditionists than USA or their constituents or the Republican agenda

What do they possibly think they’re gonna find—a W-2 from “Russia?”

I’m all for politicians’ tax returns having a mandatory public release. But since Trump was a private citizen at that time, he would be exempt from his 2015-16 return. Next year, he(as well as all other federal elected officials) should be required to make their tax returns public.

she has no constitutional authority to subpeona the President’s records
but she CAN NOW seek to subpeona the records (all of them) that Obama has been hiding from us
including his real birth certificate, his immigration file, his real social security records if he has anything other tha the stolen account he’s using, his selective servive records if he ever registered as required by law of American citizens anyway, and all the rest.

How about getting THOSE records for us, Collins? Those are the ones we are most interested in seeing....

I’m too much of a gentleman to use the C-word, but in this case, I’m willing to make an exception:

Screw you, you disgusting Collins!

Time for McTurdle to crack the whip and take committee asignments away from her McCain and Graham.

Geeeeee ..!! That’s what I was thinking.

Do these people really realize what happened this election ..?? Or .. are they blind to what the voters have told them ..??

If they are blind to it .. they’re going to find out the hard way that we aren’t messing around. We’re fed up with this kind of foolishness .. and they’ll find out when they don’t get re-elected that they made a serious boo-boo.

Intelligence and Susan Collins should not be used in the same sentence.
She’s an IDIOT, and has a mouth like a toilet.
She swears and filthily.

McTurtle has a 2 seat majority and you just named three that could jump in heart beat. Remember Jumping Jim Jeffords?
