ProPublica Debunks Susan Collins’ Claims About FBI Anti-Corruption Probe
ProPublica revealed that the FBI was circling Sen. Collins over a defense contractor’s donations — until President Trump gutted the unit in charge. Collins has since mustered a defense with a series of incorrect and misleading claims.

I totally get it and agree with you. I have great respect for ProPublica's reporting.
Just saying that Trump has the power to pardon/commute Kao's sentence if Trump wants to do so and that gives Kao incentive to muddy the waters when it comes to the Susan Collins bribery issue.

Collins helped secure funding for Martin Kao's defense company. Kao is now in federal prison for buying politicians with campaign cash. The FBI agents digging into it got reassigned to immigration enforcement once Trump took office. Funny how that works.

Fed officials had Kao's confession, & the judge didn't give him a break for it. ProPublica corroborated his statement, which is better than just getting him on the record stating that he didn't lie under oath. At that point, he clearly had a motive to be truthful, which is why he provided docs.

By late 2024, agents wanted a full bribery probe. Then Trump came back to the White House & Patel’s FBI purged the anti-corruption squad. Michelle Ball, who helped take Kao’s confession, was fired over her work investigating Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election...Ball is now suing.
Trump’s FBI Let The Susan Collins Probe Die. The Paper Trail Didn’t.
Also: Trump tells the UN he’s keeping Venezuela’s oil, bans three newsrooms and loses in court, and Republicans can feel November coming.

Collin's super PAC chairman, Scott Reed, asked Kao for a $500,000 donation at a Corner Bakery near the Capitol. Kao's team countered: route the money through a shell company, and Collins would guarantee Navatek tens of millions in contracts.
Deliver she did: $32 million in commitments to Navatek.
