Susan Collins Statement Is Kind of Empty and Doesn't Move the Ball Much

She wonders why this letter was not released until after the hearings.

Wants both parties under oath and both parties asked "a lot of questions."

She says in a Friday phone call with Kavanaugh, he "emphatically denied" the accusations and says he "never acted that way with this then-unnamed woman or any other woman." She adds again that he was "absolutely emphatic."

She does say that if it's proven he lied, then that would be "obviously disqualifying."

Asked at the end what she would do if this is merely a "he said she said" situation with no dispositive evidence either way, she wouldn't say what she'd do. She said instead something like "that's why it's important to get these questions answered under oath."
