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.”

They will be coming for Mitt soon enough.
Romney needs to put his hat in the ring and see where it gets him which is nowhere.
Of course he is already as close to nowhere as you can get.
All he has going for him is that he checked the Mormon box for holding political office in the Beehive State and he had a bit of name recognition thanks to his Mexican born daddy.
I guess they want to push it into let’s get rid of the Republican party territory.
Mitt, you traitor, just shut up. You have zero chance for the presidency.
Agree with you Romney turned out to be DISASTER.

Everyone attending gets to beat RINOmney with a stick, like a snake for 1 full minute, while shouting at him.

Wondering why Trump’s son doesn’t run as a “proxy” candidate.

You and me both. Yeah, I get it that our choice was between Mittens and Obama, but still... In a political landscape dominated by treacherous weasels, Mittens Romney is just about the most treacherous weasel of all.
Willard profits from the destruction of America. A vampire.
Simply put, this man is the poster child for everything wrong with American politics.
One of Romney’s wives wants to date Trump.
I’m reminded of Sen. Eugene McCarthy’s reaction to Romney’s father claiming he had been “brainwashed” by the military on VN. He responded: “Why did he need to be brainWASHED”? A little light rinse would have done just fine.”
