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."

It inoculates Mitt from being investigated for his Ukraine dealings.
that to!
45 minutes from now, Willard gets his one knife cut to the back of our President.
Mitt had better hope the facts turn out his staffer wasn’t involved in the Ukraine.
If it turns out his staffer is even in jeopardy, his argument is crap and totally self serving. If he abstains it would be different but voting guilty will forever taint him as favoring a staffer vs his country.

Mitt Romney is a boil in Need of a lancing. STAT
Whoever runs against this m***********’s I will send them all the money that I possibly can and begged friends and family to do the same
If you are ever charged with a Crime you didn’t commit in Utah you had better hope that this Jackass isn’t on the Jury.
Paging Ann Coulter.
Paging Ann Coulter.
” ... expects ‘enormous consequences’ ... “
No you aren’t. You aren’t even running again until 2024. And you think voters won’t remember by then.
So glad that delicious Peter is so-o-o-o Godly.
I wonder if Hannity will keep talking about what a nice guy Romney is...
Yep. He’s also putting future Republicans after Trump in jeopardy.
I’m going to seize ANY reason to not vote Republican after President Trump.
Burn it all down.
Correct. The arrogance here is breathtaking. Does Romney really think the GOPe is going to go to MAGA Country post-Trump and get votes? Not a chance. My Florida county voted 65% Trump. Neighboring county was 70% Trump. The GOP will never win another national election without Trump voters. It’s that simple.
But its OK for Obama, HRC and the FBI to illegally spy on Trump, spend 2+ years on an illegal investigation and then try to impeach him on false charges and pretenses.
No election interference there, right dumbo?
There IS another Silicon Valley. It’s in the Provo area.
With more and more Californians coming in daily. Gonna turn into another damned blue state.
Romney’s kid is involved in Ukraine shenanigans too.
RomneyIdiot would belive most anything spewed by Dems = fact.
Mofo is nothing more than a flaming liberal progressive in disguise. FU RomneyIdiot.
He's a narcissistic POS whose ultimate goal is to be president.
Since it would never happen as a Republican, his only chance is to put the screws to President Trump over the next 4 1/2 years, switch party affiliation to Democrat during Trump's second term and run for the 2024 presidency as a Democrat......
