The Maine senator was unequivocal in her statements, which came after a firefighters memorial service in Augusta on Saturday morning, joining Mitt Romney, R-Utah, and Ben Sasse, R-Nevada, in breaking rank with GOP support for the president.
“I thought the president made a big mistake by asking China to get involved in investigating a political opponent,” Collins said. “It’s completely inappropriate.”
The president’s comments came days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, announced a formal impeachment probe into his attempt to solicit foreign help in an election, which is illegal and considered by many lawmakers to be a foundational threat to democracy.
Sen. Collins reiterated that she would not offer comment on the evidence, saying that not all of it is in yet, and that she hopes the impeachment process “will be done with the seriousness that any impeachment proceeding deserves.”
Susan Collins joined two other RINO Senators who recently criticized President Trump – Senator Mitt Romney (UT) and Senator Ben Sasse (NE).
Even if the House of Representatives votes to impeach President Trump, 20 Republican Senators would have to flip on Trump in order to reach the required 67 votes to convict the president in the Senate.

“..She’s probably got a son who’s getting money from China....”
This comment is probably the closest to the reality of why all this crap is being dumped on President Trump. It is about the threat that Trump presents to the “DC business plan” that both parties run on....the reason these parasites went to DC in the first place. Their families are a part of the plan -— just look at Biden as a good example.
Ding...ding...ding...winner!!!
Accepting the democrat spin that Trump making a remark intended to point out the Biden is corrupted by China too (by saying in an ad-hoc press conference maybe China ought to be investigating his lawbreaking, not actually said to China) should be enough evidence of incompetence to disqualify her from public office.
Scumbag traitor GOP’ers who are as dirty as the rats in all of this
Maybe this will convince Maine to get RID of Collins.
She is claiming she is losing voters because of her support for Kavanaugh. Nothing is further from the truth.
Her polls are going down because she is such a WIMP.
She HATES being a republican. You can just tell.
I PRAY THEY GET A DECENT REPUBLICAN OPPONENT TO HER.
SHE MUST BE REPLACED. WHAT A SHREW.
SHE DOESN’T WANT CORRUPTION INVESTIGATED?????????
She is a DEMOCRAT.
Because we all want the corruption in the swamp to keep going.
Ya'd think things would clear up after ditching Prince Rhesus Monkey! Clean your house GOP, most are no better than DNCII candidates anyway!
How ridiculous.
She is a never trumped and a deep swamp rat that needs to go ...they all do. The perfect comeback is why are felons protected just because they are running for office? Is it because the current felons in office don’t want to see their own hurt?
I think she would rather eat babies.
Embezzlement by child proxy! It’s not just for Dhimocraps.
So she thinks that senators and presidential candidates are above the law? They can't be investigated when they are political opponents?
She is one of only 2 GOP senators representing states that Clinton won.
Those who see nothing wrong with Biden’s Biden-Gate behavior are probably just as crooked as the Bidens.
cboldty boy, you done hit the that damn nail right on the head !
Collins must be dipping her beak in China too.
Trump.
Another Republican was going to try and primary her....President Trump asked the person not to and they agreed.
The only good things I can say about Susan Collins is that she voted for the Trump tax cuts, voted for Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, and after an impassioned speech, she voted for Brent Kavanaugh for the high court as well.
Collins also voted for the majority of the president’s other judicial choices. A full-bore democrat would have been a no vote on all of the above.
That being said, she can be a pain in the a$$ at times, and this is one of those times.
Biden’s China connection SHOULD be investigated. Hunter Biden’s rinky dink so-called investment firm received a total of $1.5 Billion from China.
Hunter helped the Chinese buy up American companies that made products for the civilian market, but these same products also had military applications.
If Collins doesn’t know this, she damn well should.
We knew she would.
