High-profile Republican swing vote Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she likes to dig into the facts of a matter she is considering. That's why she said she's pushing to have a chance to call witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Trump.

"Obviously I would not be advocating for language to be included in the governing resolution if I did not anticipate at the end of hearing the case presented, and the q-and-a, that there might be a need for more information," said the veteran Maine senator who is working with a small group of Republicans to try to find a path forward on the issue.

Mitt Romney of Utah who said he would like to hear at least from former Trump national security adviser John Bolton but won't decide until after opening arguments, a process advocated by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

She’s not a swing vote when you have three Democrats saying they will vote with Republicans against impeachment!

Sure Senator Collins. Dig into those fact, listen to witnesses, then vote with the Republican Party. Just like you did for the disastrous tax reform and Kavanaugh hearings. Once again, you will betray your constitutes and many other Americans. Your next run will be interesting.

She is full of shit. It’s her MO.

....stupid.

Why Sen Collins. it is not your job to investigate, the congress already has, it is your job to be a juror and that is all. Don't believe me, read the Constitution.

You already had your witness! They hand picked by the crem de la crap of the Democrats. And nothing happened. Now you want to invent more witnesses. If you guys keep playing stupid, Trump's keeping the seat for sure.

Let's not let her fool us again- SenSusanCollins is a staunch right wing anti women Trump lover.

The Torture Project

RINO

Now you need 18 more because we will give you Romney. He is liberal at heart.

Repub Senates are traitors protecting the criminal in the W.H. They are the right wing draconian obstructionist and don't give a damn about the constitution as long as it benefiting themselves. A due nothing Moscow McConnell the reaper is a disgraced.

Has she said what type of witnesses she is open to calling? Is this just a different sham where she's open to calling witnesses associated with Joe Biden, but not with Trump?

This must be a different Susan Collins from a different Maine than the one who was ok with a limited probe into Biff Kavanaugh, and then voted to put him on the bench.

BS

Nice try! Not happening.

She's a liar and I don't trust her at all!!

Sure she does. More “susan” speak. Watch her vote side with McConnell.

. And pretend like facts matter, hoping to fool her constituents, and then vote with Trump every time.
