“A giant fishing expedition,” is one of President Donald Trump‘s favorite notions, along with “hoax.” That’s how Trump frequently characterized Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 US elections. Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) used the “fishing expedition” phrase on the Fox News platform provided by Fox Radio’s “Todd Starnes Show.”
The show provided a platform for Collins to rip into the efforts of Democrats in Congress who are exploring impeachment proceedings. Collins told Fox listeners that the Democrats “don’t seem to get it. They’re so deranged.”
Collins is the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee currently conducting an inquiry into the president’s actions. Angered by the proceedings, Collins says part of his job is to make sure the committee chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., one of the so-called “deranged” Democrats, “can’t abuse the rules.”
