Dem mega donor created shell company and sent hundreds of thousands of $$ to Susan Collins

Democrat megadonor caught creating a shell company to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrat Senator Susan Collins

After receiving the money, “Senator Collins proudly announced an $8 million contract between the Pentagon and Navatek” (The donor’s company)

Corporate money was also laundered through family members who then made contributions to Democrat Senator Susan Collins

“A mega-donor to Maine Senator Susan Collins has been sentenced to nearly three years in federal prison over conspiracy to funnel more than $200,000 in illegal campaign contributions to Senator Collins's campaign and a political action committee supporting her.

Martin Kao was the owner of Navatek. The company is now called Martin Defense Group. He created a shell company called the Society of Young Women Scientists and Engineers to make an illegal contribution to a PAC supporting Senator Collins using funds received through federal government contracts.

Kao then took more corporate money and laundered it through six family members to make donations to Senator Collins's 2020 re-election campaign.

Those donations were made in July 2019. In August 2019, Senator Collins proudly announced an $8 million contract between the Pentagon and Navatek. Quote, "As a senior member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, I strongly advocated for the funding that made this research possible."

I understand the ire for Susan Collins, but she's voted with the GOP to reopen the government every single time.

Once she's gone, Maine will absolutely be electing a Dem and we will lose that vote, certainly on the issues she already votes against the GOP on like abortion, but also even on gimme issues like this continuing resolution.

Will she be perp walked?

What Vance said about Massie is what I have been saying about Collins for years.

You have to look at it from the perspective of what we would get if she's not in that seat.

Doug Jones never voted in the way Alabamans would want. Susan Collins was more reliable than he was, and from Maine. Obviously, Alabama will elect more reliable Republicans than Susan Collins. Will Maine?

But I guarantee the MSM will go to bat for this R.

Perhaps not that much. The lefties are smiling at taking out a true rino so they can get a far left Dem in their and top the scales towards them controlling the Senate.

Officially Republican but acts like a Democrat

I understand the frustration but if not her Maine woukd elect Bernie Sanders Jr. Or a female equivalent

Nothing will happen.

So the donor goes to jail but Collins gets no blowback? Must be nice to be in the ruling class.
