Susan Collins describes how they attempted to bribe her
Anyone surprised?
Anyone think they will be brought to justice?
“They are asking me to perform an official act and if I do not do what they want, $2 million plus is going to go to my opponent. I think that if our politics has come to the point where people are trying to buy votes and buy positions, then we are in a very sad place,” Collins told CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
The political groups Be A Hero Team, Maine People’s Alliance and Mainers for Accountable Leadership had called out the senator before her vote, with a Crowdpac campaign titled: “Either Sen. Collins VOTES NO on Kavanaugh OR we fund her future opponent.”
Collins is not up for re-election until 2020. The campaign has raised more than $3.5 million and counting.
“This is a classic quid-pro-quo as defined in our bribery laws,” Collins said in the interview.
