Romney Contests Trump’s Ukraine Election-Meddling Narrative: ‘I Saw No Evidence’
National Review ^ | December 3, 2019 | Tobias Hoonhout

Posted on 12/04/2019 4:40:03 PM PST by Trump20162020

Senator Mitt Romney of Utah broke with his Republican colleagues on Tuesday, telling reporters that, based on testimony from American officials, he does not believe there is evidence of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election.

Romney’s comments come after U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale, the No. 3 State Department official, told a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing that he was not aware of any Ukraine meddling in the 2016 election.

“I saw no evidence from our intelligence community nor from our representatives today from the Department of State that there is any evidence of any kind that suggests Ukraine interfered in our elections,” Romney said Tuesday. He added that “we have ample evidence that Russia interfered in our elections.”

Of coarse he didn’t see any evidence. He’s not POTUS. He’s an idiot.

Romney must see a no-win situation if he sides this time with his real party.

he was playing word lawyer....he narrowly defined what he was commenting on to give the impression that he saw no evidence... he only was commenting on two sources intelligence and state department. this was a comment only on the official record. notice how he did not mention Law enforcement community. he is also not commenting on evidence brought to his attention outside normal channels that’s source might be other governmental.

"The same intelligence community that was spying on the Trump campaign?"

They were more than likely spying on the Romney campaign when he ran for President against Obama, but he's too stupid to think they'd have ever done that.
