Of all the politicians Navatek’s CEO courted, Susan Collins was its most important patron. The senator’s office steered federal contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping its CEO and his network for donations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

If Susan Collins didn't illegally coordinate with the super PAC run by her spouse's boss then the answer to the question is easy: 'There was no call. Period.' After all she had no way to know Kao gave the $$ unless the PAC told her! That they can't/won't say this gives the game away. #MEpolitics

Even more vividly, Republicans are outspending Democrats in both #OHSen & #NCSen, but Democrats are nonetheless airing *more* ads. Why? Because, by law, candidates pay the cheapest ad rates, while super PACs pay market rates—and GOP spending is heavily reliant on super PACs.
