Rep. Collins: ‘I Just Am Glad Today to See That We Don’t Have Chicken on the Dais’

‘The chairman orchestrated today’s confrontation when he could have avoided it because he’s more interested in the fight than the fact finding’

COLLINS: "A closed-door conversation would not have generated those headlines and everything that we’re looking at today. Even gaveling in today’s hearing without a witness is theatrical. The cameras love a spectacle, and the majority loves the chance to run against the administration. I just am glad today to see that we don’t have chicken on the dais. The chairman orchestrated today’s confrontation when he could have avoided it because he’s more interested in the fight than the fact finding. Take the Mueller report, which we’ve already heard quoted from. More than 99 percent of the Justice Department has offered to the chairman, for an entire month the chairman has refused to look at it."
