After her second turn examining the FBI’s report on its latest background investigation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said she had not yet read the entire report.
“I’m not finished going through it yet,” she told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked to evaluate the investigation and its potential impact on Kavanaugh’s nomination.
Collins, one of a few key Republicans senators who has yet to announce her stance on Kavanaugh, would share her thoughts on the report or Kavanaugh with reporters on Thursday afternoon. Earlier in the day, she told CNN that the FBI probe “appears to be a very thorough investigation.”
She should just go ahead and get her photo-ops by declaring that she’s supporting Kavanaugh. I’m tired of her bullshit about carefully considering blah blah blah when she always seems to find confirmation for the Republican votes on any subject.
Not too optimistic, but I suppose we will draw out the suspense as long as possible. I hope I’m wrong!
Can’t really blame her. You know McConnell runs a tight ship, to the destruction of our country.

Collins is gaslighting. Collins, Flake, Murkowski, Sasse, et al–they’re all Trump now.
She’s been a yes from the start. Just drawing it out so there is as little time as possible for the backlash between her announcement and the vote. Just gotta get through the midterms here in Maine, and then it is on to a two-year effort to get her out of office. She doesn’t run or is defeated – either way, she’s done. The anger among older women up here is off the charts.
