On Oct 4, Sen. Mitt Romney tweeted: "When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China's investigation is his political opponent [Joe Biden] ... it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated."
Does it really? If we assume that Trump's call to China to investigate, in effect, itself was really serious, let us make some other, hypothetical assumptions. Let us assume that there are several Americans who qualified for such an investigation, but only a few of them held or would be running for political office. Which would be more appropriate for investigation the private citizen, who has authority only over himself, or the political official or candidate who has, or may have, authority not only over himself, but over matters of public interest? Particularly when the political office we are talking about is the presidency of the United States?
Is the investigation of a presidential candidate supposed to be prohibited if the current president, the person with the authority to call for such an investigation, is a political opponent? Such calls for such investigations can only be made against members of the suspected offender's own party? Biden's Ukraine dealings could be challenged only if Hillary Clinton were president? Could there be some problem in that logic?
While we're on the subject of problems in logic, and on Joe Biden, and on corruption specifically, Biden's son Hunter working for a Ukrainian energy company (Burisma), while having no background in energy or Ukraine, yet making as much as $83,000 a month, while his father served as the point man for the Obama administration policy in that nation, and which authority Biden used to halt an investigation of Burisma...

And he’s likely sweating prosecution too. How do you forestall prosecution? Run for office.
It’s why Hillary is going to run.
Hey Mittens, why would President Trump ask China and Ukraine to investigate Biden if there were nothing there to investigate?
After all, President Trump didn’t ask Ukraine to investigate Bernie, or Elizabeth ‘Fauxahantas’ Warren, or Beto, or even AOC. Just Biden.
Why do you think that is, Mitten? Hmmm?
Mighty Mitt. Here he comes to save the day.
Because Trump wants to expose Mitt Romney for the @$$hat that he is . . . and Mitt took the bait.
Why should we take anything you think serious Senator Sleaze now that we know you are hip deep in the same corrupt scum puddle as Biden?

Maybe instead of mindlessly regurgitating the latest fake news smears, you might want to start doing some research and thinking for a change.
Gee Senator Sleaze, maybe because Biden openly bragged about his corruption? Why would anyone investigate other people for Biden’s crimes hmm Mitt the Moron?
“When the only American citizen President Obama singles out for a Russian collusion investigation is his political opponent [Donald Trump] ... it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated.”
FIGY
Mitt Romney probably doesn’t see anything wrong with this. IIRC, he was named to several prestigious board of directors of Mormon-dominated businesses shortly after graduating from law school, apparently because of his qualifications of being Mormon royalty.
Mittens must have forgotten when Reid used the IRS to target him.
RE: Maybe instead of mindlessly regurgitating the latest fake news smears,
I object. My posting this should not be taken as regurgitating but an attempt at eliciting INFORMATION.
Thanks for the link ( which the purpose of my posting was intended to elicit ), but please cut out the personal stuff.
Mitt Romney. WHY, God?
COFER Black....DIRTY!
Mitt Wit gets dumber by the day.
Shame on Utah for electing this moron back into office.
I don’t recall Mitt Romney ever being accused of having balls, a spine or even sense for that matter...
Mittens is a 19th Century politician in a 21st Century world.
OK, Mitt has a good point.
Mr. President: Please add Willard Mitt Romney to the list of those needing investigation. I’m sure you want to be BIPARTISAN, right? And Willard is a good and loyal REPUBLICAN, right?
Lock them both up.
Would have been great.

Not so sure about that.
Amnesty would have passed and we would have lost our country.
With President Trump in office we still have a fighting chance to restore the rule of law and keep our country.
We really have to start Cantorizing the weasel Amnesty Senators.
Graham is doing the McCain two-step (learned from the master) and pretending to be an ally while still plotting to give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty.
Lots of people are buying it.
Every day I see reference to Lindsay 2.0, or the “new” Graham.
He throws out some red meat for re-election and people eat it up, forgetting that he has voted to give away their country THREE times and wants to do it again.
I am convinced that fake conservatives are worse than honest progressives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fake conservatives ARE progressives.
Anyone who votes to abandon the rule of law and surrender the country is a progressive.
Rubio, Graham, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Alexander all voted for the last amnesty, some have voted for that repeatedly.
