Romney says he expects 'unimaginable' consequences after impeachment vote
The Hill ^ | 02 06 2020 | Rebecca Klar

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, the only Republican to vote to convict President Trump on abuse of power during the impeachment trial this week, said he expects he'll face "unimaginable" consequences for breaking with his party.

"I don't know what they’ll be, there's some I know," Romney said in an interview released by New York Times's "Daily" podcast Thursday, when asked what consequences he anticipates from the decision.

"I know they'll be consequence and I just have to recognize that and do what you think is right," Romney added.

"Not voting my conscience in order for me to have a better political and personal benefit would subject my own conscience to its censure," Romney said, on his decision to break from his party.

"So I just, I don't have a choice there. This for me is fundamental to my oath to God and fundamental to how our country must work, which is people have to be seen as honest in fulfilling the oath that they take," he said.

In semi-jest — I was illuding to Romney’s quest to be POTUS, (and thereby the most powerful person in the world), and crossing it with Romney’s Mormon belief of being made god of his own planet by Lucifer’s brother Jesus, and referred to Earth as erf.

Changing direction —

As has been known for decades, Romney has a highly unprincipled, a-moral (immoral), policy history. Some would disagree with me, but Romney’s record was nearly as left-wing as MA GOV, as many Democrats today.

What we are seeing now is not new from the Romney family.

As MI Governor, Romney’s dad went near full excommunicado with the Michigan Republican Party, and largely embraced the MI Democrat Party economic socialist and social agendas, which then served to rapidly drive Michigan into the ground. In turn, this lefty policy shift strengthened and added a generation of Democrat Party brevity, as well as economic and social collapse. Yes, there were other factors, but this did happen.

To the present, what we are seeing now is clearly not new for Mitt Romney either.

However, it is possible a larger political strategy is in play.

Romney has had ties to the Clinton Foundation, (as well as Marriott, under his leadership). Additionally, it has surfaced Romney has had at least one prominent staffer involved in the DNC Ukraine corruption/money laundering/political interference model.

Less known, in the past few days, it has been revealed Matt Rhoades (or Rhodes), head of Romney’s 2012 presidetial campaign, and who still works with Romney, was directly involved with HRC’s “Shadow”/”Acronym” organizations, and appears to have been involved in creating the app used in the Iowa primary. While Rhoades has denied specifically creating the app, the co-creator of the app is not letting the internal blame be placed on him alone, so there is some internal friction at “Shadow”.

If true, it would appear to be possible evidence of further Clinton/Romney behind the scenes “collusion”, or political strategy. This strategy would covertly continue to help create some level of chaos in the DNC primaries, so to cause a “brokered” convention. Even if a single candidate wins a majority of primaries, a brokered convention could still take place.

If Romney flips to Democrat, I will disagree with those who believe he is politically finished.

I would agree Romney is toast as a Republican Senator. In fact, it is likely he is toast as a Republican.

This is precisely why flipping to Democrat may now be his only option. Not just to remain in politics, but possibly for the ascendency he so strongly covets. If Romney flips, and if the Clinton’s, or HRC is working a Romney strategy for the DNC convention, the media will not turn against Romney as they have in the past. Additionally, if the ticket was to be a Romney/Clinton, or Romney/South Bend Perv-Budda, the mass media and press will elevate Romney to a near “god” and “savior” status.

In this scenario, it is quite possible Romney would be heralded as the “savior” of the Democrat Party and nation, it is likely he gets near all the “never Trumpers”, possibly swings a few independent voters, and because he would be a Democrat, and have Clinton endorsement, he simply will not have to worry about mass media or “deep state”.

I am not saying this is going to happen, and certainly don’t desire it to happen.

If it is in the “wings”, I hope and pray it gets totally blown apart.

It would really help if we could reveal the true lawlessness of the “deep state”, and get some “COUP plotters” and traitors brought up on sedition related charges...

The Mormons want him recalled:

Dear Senator Mitt Romney

Since your election, you have gone out of your way to take personal and political swings at the President of the United States.

During your 2012 presidential campaign, you sent a fundraising letter to U.S. voters, stating three things you would do if elected president. In the letter, you said, “We need a president who understands the economy; we need a president who knows how jobs are created; and we need a president who will focus on fixing the economy from day one. I am running for President of the United States to turn our economy around.”

There seems to be no difference between promises you were making then and the current goals and achievements of President Trump. It is evident that you have a personal vendetta with President Trump and not a policy disagreement. You have adopted a stance of rooting for President Trump to fail, but you were not elected by the people of Utah to become the replacement for former Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona.

Your recent supposed clandestine attacks and comments as “Pierre Delecto” on Twitter toward the President were petty, shameful, and beneath the office to which you have been entrusted as a U.S. senator representing the people of Utah. Perhaps you would be well-advised to do the honorable thing and meet with the President to work out whatever personal feelings you have toward him, leaving your discussion behind closed doors. Attacking the President does not elevate you in any way but has quite the opposite effect. You’re doing a great disservice to the voters of Utah. Our country deserves better.

Perhaps you might consider that you are being used by the propaganda leftist machine. You have abandoned Utah conservative values and seem to align closer to Massachusetts values. You are very consistent with your attacks on the President and seem to forget that you were elected to serve the people of Utah and not your own personal political ambitions.

We, as Utah voters, recognize that our state legislature might not have the will to amend Utah Code to make elected officials accountable to those they serve, but we will begin a grass-roots process to place an initiative on the ballot to recall elected officials who abandon and do not represent the wishes of Utah voters.

Thanks, Brown Deer.

Also, here’s a comment:

Romney tied to Burisma they tough cofer black, and Epstein through ghslaine maxwell.

Sorry - spellcheck & taking my time...

Romney’s foreign affairs adviser during his presidential run was cofer black.

Cofer was CIA with Brennan/ counter terror center leader during 9/11. (Brennan approved the visas to USA to learn the fly - over objections - of the Saudi terrorist hijackers.)

Romney is also connected to Epstein. Ghislane maxwell’s father was a huge early investor with Romney.

Did Romney have a kid that was business partners with hunter Biden?

Or did they just party together at the strip clubs?
Romney is up to his eyeballs in the swamp!

It’s a one way street. Only the anti-Derp/anti-Establishment can be accused of “treason” (as Trump has been) while the Derp/Establishment, which is treasonous against our Constitution and rule of law, is NEVER brought to justice for their perpetual criminality and subversion.

This is information President Trump can use to bring Romney’s true history , buty the larger question i s what did Pierre Delecto do in return for the favors?

Is there a Ukraine connection, involving the Soros network?
Or a Bolshevik Israel leftist connection?

This will be interesting. I am sure GOP staff will be picking up on this post.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mitturd’s former national security advisor from his 2012 presidential campaign, cofer black moved on to a position on the ukrainian energy company burisma along side humper biden.

Cofer black & jihadi john brennan were on the same career track with the Clowns In Action.

Plenty of dirty dots can be connected here
