Collins privately raises concerns about new allegations, lack of subpoena for Kavanaugh friend

Sen. Susan Collins, who could determine whether Brett Kavanaugh gets a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court, raised serious concerns at a private meeting about the newest allegations of inappropriate behavior against the nominee -- and questioned why the Senate Judiciary Committee had not subpoenaed a close friend of the federal judge.

Multiple sources familiar with the private Wednesday meeting told CNN that Collins appeared unnerved by the latest allegation, citing in particular that it was a sworn statement sent to the panel, which carries with it the possibility of perjury for lying to Congress.

If Collins goes Murkowski will follow and then game over.

[madison10]

Idiots.

[chris37]

Then let these two spineless females destroy their party with cowardice.

Allow him to be destroyed, and be destroyed.

The choice is theirs.

[mass55th]

Yes, by all means take yet another anonymous claim seriously since the other three haven’t panned out for the Democrats.

[Trump20162020]

People, I know you want to pile on Collins, but consider the source. It’s the same one that watched today’s Trump press conference and came away with “Trump ready to dump Kavanaugh.”

ALL THE WOMEN ARE LYING!

[ALX]

BS...it’s CNN...This third women has lost a case for defamation before and is sketchy

[snarkytart]

this is about the other female who was going to gang rape parties the summer of 1982 not the letter just reported on the last hour.

[Bigtigermike]

Collins should use common sense that no rational woman would keep coming back to such parties if she saw even 1 train gang rape and the same guys show up at the parties all the time? Sheesh!!!!!

[familyop]

Don’t listen to her. Listen to your voters. We hold the real hammer—the final hammer.

The Des Moines Register reports that Grassley is open to postponing the vote. This guy is beyond belief.

[frnewsjunkie]

This crap is getting old!! These talking heads.. the dems.. congress.. the media... ALL HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS and have not had to deal with hardships that take their days and nights, worrying about things other than trying to destroy a man.

Talk.. talk... it’s cheap.. and get a life, for God’s sake!!
These women are lying... you are so ignorant, you don’t even have a clue as to why women would do this... common sense is gone.. only the camera and gossip is in your heads!

[keving]

Don’t account on federal funding for Maine if she votes NO.

[LostInBayport]

This is why they are up to the fourth actress, uh, accuser. They are wearing down Collins and Murkowski.

I can hear the two of them now. “As a woman, I cannot ignore the allegations...”

[Lagmeister]

CNN so we don’t know the truth. Collins knows the hearing is long over. She knows this is cooked up crap. She has got to, at the most, feign concern. Again, it’s Grassley not securing a vote. If the bitch shows up they will play this like she is Saint Bitch. Our side has to pound how she has no credibility... and vote on Friday.

Multiple sources familiar with the private Wednesday...

—

Its come to this. Anonymous sources talking about anonymous allegations from an anonymous witness at an unknown location and on an uncertain date.

[madison10]

I take back any nice thing I said about him.

[familyop]

The delays allowed by pussyfooting Republicans have facilitated a storm of calls and messages to Collins, to make her vote no.

And our no vote is in our hands raised in real authority. Take your pick, politicians: us or your socially diseased money constituents.
