I’m all in on identifying and eliminating government fraud, wherever it exists.

I once supported Sen. Susan Collins; she seemed a genuinely nice, hardworking senator when we met circa 2003. Maybe she still is, I don’t know. 

If Collins was fully or partially aware of the Navatek dealings being perpetrated around her, I believe she is a disgrace to her constituents and should resign or be voted out. The ProPublica reporting sickens me on two levels: the participating members of the Trump administration and Congress ensconced in office and staff, plus those who do not directly participate, yet do nothing about it.

This story highlights a serious perversion of our government and Constitution. I believe that this disease permeates the Trump administration and both Republican and Democratic members of Congress and government staff. The only hope for the USA is for the (few?) members of Congress and government staff who do not participate in “pay to play” to find their backbones and root this out.
