It has nothing to do with political alliances. She's never been an ally of the Democrats.

I think we're in agreement that Collins is part of the problem.

You already took a vote AGAINST documents being released “until later.”

“Until later” my ass. Watch them say - oh gee, we already voted on this. We’re done. Nothing further needed. Time to go home. Bye-bye!!!

So in the end if she supports calling witnesses - it will be moot.

The only thing is - she can say to her constituents that she was trying to be fair.
