HERE’s ANOTHER ONE OF ROMNEY’s FLAWED REASONING:
Romney describes Trump’s request as an “appalling abuse of public trust,” yet it was made before 25 other government officials, and none commented. He describes it as a “flagrant assault.” And he says “corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive, destructive violation of one’s oath of office I can imagine.”
The first question that last particular statement raises is how exactly any information coming out of an investigation and Ukraine would “corrupt” an American election.
The second question is whether or not Romney is aware of the fact that in the previous administration, the IRS was subverted to impede conservatives from organizing in the run-up to the 2012 election. (Where was the impeachment then?) And is he aware that the FBI was (not openly, but secretly) used to spy on the Trump campaign in the 2016 election? He doesn’t have to imagine these things; they occurred.
Does he not think that these undisputed offenses might “perhaps” (got to have that weasel word) be more abusive, etc. to one’s oath than Trump’s contended offense, even if we assume the worst? And if so, with words like “appalling” and “flagrant” already used to describe Trump’s contended abuse, what words does Romney use for the far more ominous abuses of the Obama administration?
RINO Romney is and always has been an opportunist. His track record is as clear as day to those that remember his past exploits. This one is nothing new as he attempts to cover his ass and align himself to another opportunity.
He is absolute trash.
What Romney effectively did here was demonstrate that his moral compass is different than that of all his Republican counterparts in the House and the Senate.
The good news for morally upright people is that I don't believe Mitt Romney even has a moral compass, so his motivations obviously had nothing to do with morality.
The guy is just an asshole -- plain and simple. But we knew that already.
