Susan Collins: ‘Very Likely’ I Will Vote for Witnesses at Impeachment Trial
Breitbart ^ | January 28, 2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/28/2020 3:05:02 PM PST by Hojczyk

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) in comments given today to CBS News said it was “very likely” she would vote for witnesses at the impeachment trial.

Collins said, “[B]ut for the efforts that four of us made to ensure that vote would occur, that it’s unlikely that we would have had that opportunity. I am pleased that every senator will have the opportunity to vote on whether or not additional witnesses and documents are necessary. It is very likely that I’m going to conclude that yes, we do need to hear from witnesses.”

She added, “I, for one, believe that there’s some gaps, some ambiguities that need to be cleared up.”

We need an IQ test to qualify for a run for office. She would fail.

Exactly. The demoncrats were always screaming for sessions and others to recuse themselves yet never any on their side. Its apparent to me who runs government at this point and the wrath to come when I and many others only vote for POTUS. To he🏒🏒 with the GOP, the dems are the only ones with stones in government it appears. They're also totally above the law.

“Term Limits”? Novel idea but I know of noone who would willingly vote themselves out of a job except for Rand Paul. That’ll never even get printed on paper.

There’s really no upside for the Democrats in this.

You guys are fooling yourselves. The dems will get their witnesses, Trumps will get none of the ones he wants. This was baked in even before September. That is why the senate has not held a single hearing on any of this. In both the Nixon and Clinton impeachments, the senate was holding hearings in parallel with the house impeachment investigation. Ask yourself why that is.

Dear Turtle,

Aren’t you up for election this year? Don’t you need Trump to win?

Hmm, be a shame if something happens to lose support.

So, you are going to tell Romney and Collins and anyone else that they can say big-bye to support from the NRSC since they really aren’t Republicans, right? Cause you know, it would be a shame if somehow support for your election dissolved. A real shame.

She is a fool. I’m seeing a blitz of ads reposted by lefty friends urging people to send money to her opponent. They see her as low hanging fruit who will be easily picked off by a younger, more articulate candidate who is more committed to progressivism. Conservatives will sit on their hands at the ballot box because they’re sick of her perfidy. The fence straddlers who still support her don’t have intense feelings for her, while the Democrats supporting her opponent are passionately devoted to getting the Senate back in Democrat hands.

No. He isn’t a Senator, and this is not a normal Senate procedure where he would get to break ties. Plus there is a glaring conflict of interest.

Kameltoe Hairyass is no longer in the race. The four Senators running for Pres are Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar and Bennet.

Is there any fact in post 65 you dispute? Please do tell.

Or perhaps you just prefer name calling when you don’t like the facts at hand?

This little blurb seems to be the only sliver of hope that we are not looking at months of misery. For 2 1/2 day Trump’s team has shredded the rats case and as as the 4-5 worst rinos are concerned it meant nothing.

The Democrats want the GOP Senators to lose their seats, what they can’t win they will steal.
