WASHINGTON — Republican senators who could be vulnerable in next year’s elections, including some who have declined to say whether it would be appropriate for a president to use U.S. aid to get political favors from a foreign leader, have signed on to a measure condemning the House impeachment process.

Their support for a resolution introduced Thursday by South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, both Republicans, shows the Republican Party is rallying behind criticism of Democrats’ tactics as a way to blunt questions about President Trump’s behavior.

The resolution calls on the House to vote to open the inquiry and to provide Trump with “fundamental constitutional protections” of due process. By Friday afternoon, all but three Republican senators – Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah – had signed on as co-sponsors.

Three House committees have been using closed-door depositions to investigate whether Trump withheld congressionally approved aid to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate his political rivals. House Intelligence Chairman Adam B. Schiff has said the testimony is being kept secret to prevent witnesses from coordinating their stories, but Republicans on the committees have had an opportunity to ask questions and information from the depositions will be made public in the future.

Don't be fooled by this - even if she votes against impeachment, the repugs will fail to convict.

Typical Collins bullshit
