No one cares what Susan Collins thinks "needs" to happen within the executive branch. No one *should* care.
The only thing newsworthy about Susan Collins is HOW SHE USES -- OR DECLINES TO USE -- THE POWERS OF HER OFFICE.

Stop running this stuff unless you include Susan Collins response to questions about what she will do if, as is blindingly obvious, there is no federal investigation.
Otherwise, you're engaged in PR not journalism. #MEpolitics
