es and misdemeanors.” But naturally Politico cheers Amash on, with this false statement of fact:
The [Mueller] report outlined several episodes that meet all the element [sic] of an obstruction of justice offense, most notably former White House Counsel Don McGahn’s testimony about Trump’s persistent efforts to have McGahn fire the special counsel.
No, actually, it didn’t. The McGhan theory is laughable: if Trump had wanted to fire Mueller so that another special counsel could have been appointed, he would have done it. But he didn’t. And replacing a conflicted special counsel with another special counsel could not possibly constitute obstruction of justice, in any event.
This morning on CNN’s State of the Union, Mitt Romney praised Amash without going so far as to call for impeachment himself:
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) was “courageous” for concluding President Donald Trump committed “impeachable conduct.”
Romney said, “I think every individual has to make their own judgment. I think it helps to actually have read the entire document. It’s a long document. It took me two full days to get through it. The second volume is more difficult to get through than the first. Hopefully more people read it. I think a lot of people want to reserve judgment until this is played out. My own view is that Justin Amash has reached a different conclusion than I have. I respect him. I think it’s a courageous statement. But I believe to make a case for obstruction of justice, you just don’t have the elements that are evidenced in this document. And I also believe that an impeachment call is something that not just relates to the law but considers practicality and politics. I think those considering impeachment have to look at the jury, which is the Senate. The Senate is certainly not there either.
Thanks for that ringing endorsement of your president, Mitt. Taking the Democrats’ absurd grounds for impeachment seriously is a betrayal of your party and, ultimately, of the American people who are benefiting so greatly from the Trump administration. Romney also declined to endorse President Trump for re-election, saying it is “way too early.” Who knows, Mitt might yet decide Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden is a better
It takes no courage if it makes you popular among Democrats and the media. It’s cowardly.
Romney shows his true colors a a coward and a traitor. Behavior makes him totally untrustworthy and not one that anyone would have as a true friend. Never let him near your six.
It’s courageous to endorse bringing phony charges against someone, getting an investigation started, declaring the person innocent of the charges but still demanding they be punished because they didn’t just admit their guilt or protested the injustice.
Endorsing Soviet style justice is courageous.
I think Mittens is planning to mount a challenge to Pres. Trump in the primaries. His paramour, Anne Coulter, has signaled this by abandoning Pres. Trump and telling us he is a liar, con man, etc. Mittens is deluded if he thinks people would prefer him to Trump but then, again, he owns the voting machines in 26 states so maybe he plans to cheat as I think it is likely he did in Utah.
If Mitt Romney had spent one-tenth as much energy attacking Barack Obama for his many failings when he was running against him in 2012 as he has spent attacking Donald Trump for his many non-failings, he would have won the presidency hands down.
If the voters of Utah sent Mitt to the Senate so that he could become a national embarrassment, they must be very happy.
Traitor.
Utah Morons sent Mitt to the Senate to keep the borders open and the laws unenforced.
So he appeals to liberals thinking he’ll get a single vote from them? This is exactly what RINO’s they do, however. Bush Jr. ignored his own base and kowtowed to Democrats, but they hated him anyway.
Mormon Mitt’s Magic Tighty Whities are cinching up again.
It all boils down to, somebody won, and he didn’t. Jealousy.
Mitt would make a good Cassius or Brutus, who were two of the 60 people, who were involved in the murder of Julius Caesar.
However the image of “empty suit” Romney operating a dagger properly, is laughable.
He is in a safe Republican seat in Utah, which gives him the ability to be an asshole to President Trump on occasion.
He’s harmless, just like his 2012 campaign against Obama.
It takes no courage if it makes you popular among Democrats and the media. It’s cowardly.
Paging Mitt Romney, please report to the nearest Village that needs a useful idiot.
Where is that slap forehead gif? What idiot? Oh yeah, Romney, who as a US Senator has nothing better than to spend two full days not realizing that he is reading utter Horse Shit.
Milt should do America a solid and end himself now
Romney's plan from the getgo was to showcase himself as the Trump alternative.
He came into the Senate with both guns blazing.....planning to topple Trump.
He flopped badly.....thinking up another way is hard.
