Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said on Friday that Donald Trump had “brought these charges upon himself” after the former president was notified of his indictment in an investigation into his handling of classified materials.
“Mr. Trump brought these charges upon himself by not only taking classified documents, but by refusing to simply return them when given numerous opportunities to do so,” Romney said in a statement.
The former Republican presidential candidate acknowledged that Trump is “entitled to the presumption of innocence” and that the government is faced with “the burden of proving its charges beyond a reasonable doubt.”
However, he added, “By all appearances, the Justice Department and special counsel have exercised due care, affording Mr. Trump the time and opportunity to avoid charges that would not generally have been afforded to others.”

Shadup Mittens and look at the seagulls.
And his son who worked for Bursima.
Is Romney a lawyer? No. Has Romney seen the “evidence”? Dubtful - unless he is deeper into the Dims that suspected. What is Romney doing? Romney is being Romney, which means expressing his own revenge sort of Trump derangement syndrom.
They always say possession is nine-tenths of the law, but here the law is going after him for not returning something in his possession.
Well, he does, but only on the sense that he would say the same things regardless of what were in the indictments.
As for Romney……no one to blame but the Mormon Church and the voters of Utah.
This is more akin to keeping a library book past a due date than espionage.
To think I actually voted for this guy.
He is not running for re-election. He will retire in disgrace because the announced primary challenger already is the overwhelming preference among the huge Trump majority in Utah.
Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
I know that the Bible is far from any uniparty consciousness, but this Biblical principle will prevail.
Nobody other than Trump gets my vote with one exception, if DeSantis is the candidate and he pledges to: 1) Pardon Trump 2) Indict Biden and Hillary and the heads of the alphabet agencies I'm now a one issue voter, stop this rampant government corruption.
Another reason why the Republican Party is dead. Everyone please register independent and make these clowns a permanent third tier party.
FOAD, Mitt.
I don’t disagree, but he does have a law degree.
Milt can having a nice steaming cup of Hush.
“Can’t believe I voted for that guy.”
I did too but had my fingers firmly holding my nose.
The other option was so much worse.
Isn't he connected to Burisma?
Burisma’s Board of Directors (perhaps still) had/has Cofer Black (ex see eye ehhh clown) Romney’s former pres campaign manager.
That and the Panama Papers on Romney is who has control over Romney’s mouth. Not really one to talk otherwise.
Can’t believe I voted for that guy.
We all did. And god help you if you said a negative word about him, the FREEPER fans were on you quick.
I’m very close to saying America isn’t worth being made great again. Every Republican office holder at every level of government should refuse to cooperate with business as usual. Every declared primary candidate should withdraw and actively and tirelessly support Trump until the leftists are eliminated from public life in absolutely every respect.
