Romney says he had to follow 'conscience' on vote to convict Trump, expects ‘enormous consequences’

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told Fox News' Chris Wallace Wednesday in an exclusive interview that he "had to follow my conscience" in deciding to vote to convict President Trump on abuse of power, a decision that's likely to lead to serious blowback from Trump and others in the Republican Party.

"I believe that the act he took, an effort to corrupt an election is as destructive an attack on the oath of office and our Constitution as I can imagine," Romney said. "It is a high crime and misdemeanor within the meaning of the Constitution, and that is not a decision I take lightly. It is the last decision I want to take."

The funny thing is Mitt is the one who voted for witnesses, even though apparently he has seen enough without witnesses to convict, so then why did he ask for witnesses, to waste his and everyone’s time?

Until the complete Panama Papers information is released to the world about this dipshite. To include his affiliation with a true deep state snake— Cofer BLack, one greasy see eye ehhhhh crap weasel... SITS ON THE BOARD of Burisma, today!

Romney (Pierre Delecto) thinks noone knows his affiliates. Let’s go all the way back to the appalling way Howard Hughes was “cared for” under the direction of Robert Maheu=== the VEGAS Harry Reid Nevada Mormon connection— ie. the Casino Licensing Board of Nevada peppered with corrupt people and many Reid cronies from his.. “church”. Romney is one of THESE palm greasers on the take, and always has been, and JUSt like his father— a true greedy pain the a@@. Bain Consulting— say no more-Romneycare from MassHole land- this guy is a clown with an appalling virtue signalling enormous unstable ego.

So a Question for Mr. Romney: “What part of the 47% you spoke of not ever having the support of-when you once again were running your mouth for Jimmy Carter’s son to tape you, you idiot? What part of them are you appealing to with your ridiculous provably false speech about the Founders and our Constitution in the well of the Senate today— DEVOID of anything but slimy doublespeak, and FRAUD. And what GOD did you consult? Certainly not the Supreme Being the Founders as Deists envisioned. No, yours is a cult of oddball rightful outcasts from America. Sorry- you don’t get away with this shite.

Cofer Black, Burisma, kickbacks to Romney and the funnel of cash to his offshore Panama Papers shell corporations— subject of numerous investigations, that, like all the other idiot democrat criminal enterprise directs you to remove the Nemesis who will uncover your crummy world, a nemesis who had the courtesy to inform you of what the Deep State had on you— and you paid him back through YOUR branch of Deep State from whom you profit— to wit— Mexican Cartels, and human trafficking through specific areas of Mexico controlled by your Synod. Quite something.

He’s going down.Fast. Tortured false logic, all surrounding his “speaking with God”. Did we ever dodge a bullet— only to get a Marxist Mau Mau— who now lives on mahthah’s vinyahd.

Quick, give Mittins some paper to tear on camera...

Pelosi handed him one. Turned out to be a Bill of Rights copy.

He saw the TV camera light go on and just tore it.

2003 news story: WASHINGTON -- The FBI has recovered a valuable copy of the Bill of Rights that had been missing for 138 years, officials said Wednesday.

The FBI estimated the document, one of 14 copies of the Bill of Rights commissioned by President George Washington, is worth $30 million, but experts said it is impossible to set a price on it.

According to legend, it was stolen from North Carolina by a Union soldier at the end of the Civil War. "A carpetbagger took it in 1865," said one official. "It's really priceless." The document was recovered by the FBI in Philadelphia Tuesday in an undercover operation when an individual attempted to sell it, officials said.

Note: No one mentioned any involvement in the case by a certain Monsieur Pierre Delecto.

The Atlantic (leftist junk mag.) article today I skimmed said Mitt was devoutly, reverently asking for divine guidance from above and finally found it so he could vote courageously to punish Trump for his crimes.

Gimme a break.

Really someday Mitt, like all of us, will have to answer to God all alone for our actions in life.

Voting to convict an innocent man framed and set up by predisposed political enemies who tried to find something to fill in as the “crime” since his Inauguration Day, is evil. Pure and simple.

Mitt’s envy and jealousy. His bitter disappointment over failure. All added up to an excuse for justifying a revenge vote.

Its not a very pure question. They are dynasties only because of the advantage of incumbency. And, I see as much nepotism in the Bush Romney McCain as in the Clinton, Clinton Clinton dynasty.

Romney has no conscience. He is scum, and an embarrassment to his church.

Wow. Didn't know that. I can add it to the list.

Does this mean the Deep State, Old Boys Network (and Old Gals) and DC In Crowd are all interrelated and interconnected insiders milking the American people dry with bribes, insider trading and paid favors? And gives roles to all the Bushes, Clintons, McCains,Kennedys and many more?

Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends by Peter Schweizer and Profiles in Corruption by same. And the Clinton Cash book.

This only proves one thing, Mitt Romney considers George Soros to be God. That’s the only logical explanation for what he said. (and did)

I wonder what “God” told him about Obama.
