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.”

On something flaming.
Trump is in a lot of trouble, and he will likely run as an independent and spoil the Republican’s chance of winning the Presidency... That being said Mormon Mitt is wrong... These charges are (pardon the pun) trumped up... The Clinton’s, Obama and Biden have committed more serious crimes than Trump can even dream of, but they will never be prosecuted or held to account.
If Trump had ‘drained’ the swamp as he promised he would do, then maybe they would be held to account. But he didn’t.
The swamp is still very much alive and well and continues to protect their favorite politician’s.
In the end these charges have sealed Trump’s fate... He will not win the Republican nomination. So to run, he will need to run as an independent and no independent has ever won and never will. Even the great and immensely popular Teddy Roosevelt couldn’t do it.
As an independent, he can only achieve one thing... A guarantied Democrat victory. Will he come in second? Maybe, Teddy Roosevelt did... But then again... The Democrat Wilson won and at the end of his Presidency, his wife was running the show. Imagine that... Jill Biden running the free world.
Romney is a 🐍
Worry Not—the good people of Utah will dispose of this bothersome RINO.
OMG - UTAH - DO BETTER !!!
I can’t believe it either, or that it was him or Obomination!
Yes, Romney did get a law degree, but as far as I know he never was a practicing lawyer and surely has no great background in Constitutional law or even federal law (like as a federal prosecutor or federal judge). While he did get a law degree he also did an MBA and when not in politics he has worked in business (venture capital and management consulting), not law.
They who are in the deep state or who live that way.. you are a sorry lot! You have no idea what people out here think or do.. being in the deep state is like being blind and deaf.. ignorant of anything but what the deep state hands you. and today it’s a handful of treasonous acts from the oval office!!! and impeachment.. deal with it!!
Sod Off Mittens.

Massholes helped Masshole Mitt, too...
Delecto doesn’t miss a chance to remind us of what a ash hole he is.
I mistakenly thought this was from the Babylon Bee since I assumed not even Mitt could be this blatantly stupid.
Fuck off Mitt.
It’s become obvious that we have a republican party full of democrats.
Those coming out against trump are the enemy
I have never once regretted that decision.
Eat $hit and Die, NitWitt Mit, you worthless POS!
