Senator Mitt Romney (R., Utah) warned Thursday that Senator Ron Johnsons (R., Wis.) probe into the Bidens and Burisma appears political, and would not comment whether he would vote for a subpoena that Johnson is planning.
Theres no question that the appearance of looking into Burisima and Hunter Biden appears political. I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations, Romney told reporters, adding that he needs to meet with Johnson to see what information he has before deciding on a vote.
But he suggested he was uncomfortable with the probe, implying that it was not within the purview of the Senate Homeland Security Committee which Johnson chairs and Romney serves on.
I would hope that theres something of significance that needs to be evaluated that would be done perhaps the FBI or some other agency, although its not as political as perhaps a committee of our body, he said. We also have a lot of work to do on matters that are not related to Burisma. We probably ought to focus on those things.
Johnson, who has been looking into Burisma since November, wants to vote next week on a subpoena to compel the testimony of former Ukrainian embassy official Andrii Telizhenko, who worked as a consultant for Blue Star Strategies, a Washington-based consulting firm that Burisma hired to combat accusations of corruption. Blue Star tried to leverage the Biden name to secure meetings with the State Department during its campaign to rehabilitate Burismas image.

Mitt Romney is a tool.
I wonder how many football games he went into without a helmet and if he remembers doing so?
just switch parties romney- you are no longer a republican- not that you ever really were one-
And when Biden gets the DEM nomination, investigations of Biden and his family will be off-limits to Congress (self-imposed) until after the election.
Former Romney Adviser Worked on Burisma Board With Hunter Biden
Words I can’t say here about this traitor to the Nation
Weren’t we told impeachment was a political process and we just needed to shut up and dish out what the Dems serve?
Somebody went a whole week without some liberal journalist blowing smoke up his ass.
Romney’s a straight up traitor. His political demise cannot come soon enough.
Just what we expect from Mittens. Democrat impeachment scam was just finding the facts. Got it.
Mitt had no problem of looking into the documents regarding Russian Collusion when it was aimed at Trump. Why was THAT not seen as political. Someone is NOT wanting to get to the bottom of this as he knows his own skeletons will come out to the light of day.

Disagree. Romney IS a Republican. And that right there is the problem. There is no opposition party to the progressive-corportist alliance that Romney is a card carrying member of.
When I hear him say an investigation is political, it makes me wonder how much the Romney family profited from the Ukraine laundry works.
Ah, if he votes for the judges that’s better than a Democrat would be.
If we pick up a few more seats this year then I will personally petition to have him become a Democrat :-)
Flake’s evil twin.
Let’s say his vote was the deciding factor in the Senate. just imagine the scenario. I think he would have kicked Trump out
Be careful, Mitt. Your corruption is showing.
And Trumps accusations werent???????
Slcik Willard worried that he and his offspring might come under additional scrutiny?
Who?
