The senator’s office has “vigorously” denied any wrongdoing, while Collins’ opponent Troy Jackson called the report “corruption of the highest order.”

Susan Collins was being investigated by the FBI for alleged bribery. Trump came in and covered it up. Collins may pretend to be a moderate, but on corruption, she’s a MAGA Republican. That’s why we need @TroyJackson207 to win and help us take the Senate.

This is why SuperPACs are a horrible idea. There's no way in hell they're ever arms-length from the candidate. Sure, for legal purposes the paperwork makes it appear that way, but everyone fucking knows that if you make a huge donation to a SuperPAC, the candidate that PAC is affiliated with is 100% aware of your donation.

An alleged political bribery operation was under investigation by the FBI, with names like Sen. Susan Collins, the Republican lawmaker from Maine, in the mix. Then Donald Trump got into office and — poof — it all went away. Here's an exhaustive investigation by @ ProPublica that reveals the existence of the case for the first time. https://…

It'd be weird for Maine Republicans to cheat only for a single Senate seat; everything else up there (governor, both House seats, the other Senator, the state legislature) is currently controlled by liberal politicians.

This is remarkable investigative reporting by @propublica.org into a pay to play scheme involving Sen Collins. Stop whatever you are doing and read it. The corruption is staggering but the Trump admin killed the investigation.

Every Maine voter *must* read this before November. @propublica.org uncovered that Susan Collins accept hundreds of thousands in bribes from a defense contractor. Trump shut down a criminal investigation into it. And tens of millions of dollars flowed to a contractor that never produced anything.

This is why I donate to @propublica.org, even as I work for @motherjones.com. We are all fighting corruption and abuse of power, regardless of which side of the aisle it's on. Please support nonprofit journalism in your annual giving. With Trump on the attack, it's never been important. Seriously.

Yeah, Susan Collins, when the corrupt rapist you helped get elected ends the investigation into you taking cash for contracts because HE takes cash for contracts it's easy to deny, deny, deny.
