Senators parse every word. When they act dumb, they are acting.

What did that Gaslighting horseshit of a statement do? It throws doubt on the House process. It pretends the courts are being honest brokers, not deliberately allowing Trump to run out the clock.

Who does it serve? GOP Senators who are ready to wave Impeachment away like an old man at a country diner confronted with Snopes, and lie their way through to November.

Just self serving pretense that the Democrats did something wrong in order to make the Republicans look like genuine patriots.

Yes, she's a Republican, but she's not THAT stupid. They get a lot done without saying much.

The courts didn't approve their release until this week. The house couldn't get the evidence.

They also couldn't get witnesses. Or financial documents.

And oh by the way, that obstruction is one of the articles.

and that politician is Donald Trump.

Susan Collins only plays dumb because she needs that deplorable vote. Big difference.

Can not imagine the shit show inside the White House after last night. Did anyone really think Collins would bail on her Idol.
