Susan Collins Will Vote to Acquit Trump
February 4, 2020 at 4:23 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
While Colllins said Trumps actions were improper and demonstrated very poor judgment, she concluded they did not meet the threshold for removal from office.
Said Collins: I do not believe that the House has met its burden of showing that the presidents conduct, however flawed, warrants the extreme step of immediate removal from office, nor does the record support the assertion by the House managers that the president must not remain in office one moment longer.
Collins to CBS News: I believe that the president has learned from this case. The president has been impeached. Thats a pretty big lesson.
