Launch a congressional investigation into Susan Collins immediately. According to ProPublica reporting, the FBI found evidence that a Hawaii defense contractor, Navatek, illegally funneled $150,000 to a pro-Collins super PAC and reimbursed donations to her campaign. That is not a technicality. That is a federal crime, and every person involved needs to be prosecuted. This cannot be treated as a partisan footnote. If a sitting senator accepted the benefit of illegal campaign contributions, the Senate Ethics Committee and the Justice Department need to act now. Collins is not the only one implicated here, and the investigation must follow every thread. No one who used public office to launder corrupt money should keep that office.
