Collins privately raises concerns about new allegations, lack of subpoena for Kavanaugh friend
CNN ^ | September 26, 2018 | Phil Mattingly and Manu Raju

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.

The cynic in me thinks she is demanding more pork...

Well, can't give her another airport, since she already got that for Obamacare.

Everyone should be able to see behind all these accusations.

It’s a STALLING TACTIC TO PREVENT ANY VOTE.

Just continue manufacturing women after women and then demand that inquiries be made before any vote because these women need to be heard. Hence, they can drag this on as long as they wish until the cows come home hoping that Kavanaugh or the GOP will simply give up out of exhaustion.

My friends, if we cave into this, this will be used as a stand operational procedure by the Democrats in future.

They’ve already done this successfully for Herman Cain and Roy Moore. If they succeed, Judge Kavanaugh will be another scalp and this tactic will be in their playbook.

There will be backroom negotiations among Collins and company: Who gets to vote no and who votes yes to make sure he is still confirmed.

Mattingly and Raju are CNN’s “smear artists” in all things political.

The fools don’t know or bother to check that the woman in this story, Swetnick, is mentally ill, a liar, and a possible assaultress.

But hey, that’s CNN for you, “Communist-style News or Nothing”.
