Romney 'sickened' by Trump administration 'dishonesty' exposed by Mueller report

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Friday that he was “sickened” by what he read in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and Donald Trump’s attempts to cover it up.

In a scathing statement posted to Twitter, Romney became one of the first Republican members of Congress, and the most prominent, to criticize the Trump administration and the president for the behavior detailed by Mueller.

“It is good news that there was insufficient evidence to charge the President of the United States with having conspired with a foreign adversary or with having obstructed justice. The alternative would have taken us through a wrenching process with the potential for constitutional crisis. The business of government can move on,” Romney wrote. “Even so, I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President. I am also appalled that, among other things, fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia — including information that had been illegally obtained; that none of them acted to inform American law enforcement; and that the campaign chairman was actively promoting Russian interests in Ukraine.”

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was sentenced to 7 and a half years in prison following his conviction on financial fraud charges. The Mueller report detailed Manafort’s work in the Ukraine on behalf of Russian interests.

1. Yeah and Susan Collins is concerned I am sure

What he plans to do about it was right in the quote you excerpted... "The business of government can move on..." That was easy.

2. So you'll be calling for a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT enforcement of the Magnitsky Act now, right pal?

Are you sickened enough to do that or what?

Foot tap foot tap, yeah we’ll wait

8. I don't think Mormons are considered Christians

[Thomas Hurt]

9. They are as much Christians as anyone else who calls themselves that...

though you are correct, ecumenicism only goes so far and varies. The fundie right doesn't consider anyone Christian except themselves.

10. As long as someone believes in Jesus Christ...

And accepts him as Lord and Savior, they are Christians.

11. Romney just used it as an opportunity to lie. He's as bad as Trump, maybe worse.

Romney says, "It is good news that there was insufficient evidence to charge the President of the United States with having conspired with a foreign adversary or with having obstructed justice. The alternative would have taken us through a wrenching process with the potential for constitutional crisis."

That's Romney telling us he won't vote for impeachment and pre-justifying it with the lie that a president can't be removed from office based on Trump's actions as reported in the Mueller Report.
