1. Yep. Just heard it

[spanone]

2. That was his plan. Hard to believe anyone could say trump didn't obstruct congress.

[LaurenOlimina]

3. So, he's still half a fuckwit...

[malaise]

4. It won't help him

They're finished with him

6. I just read that he was going to do that here

Romney said he will vote to acquit the president on the second article of impeachment, obstruction of Congress, because he doesn't believe the House took all the steps it needed to test the president's assertion of executive privilege covering witness testimony and documents sought in the inquiry.

In a way that strengthens his vote on the first article. (Admittedly, that's me trying to look on the bright side, but it's also true. He voted according to his convictions, not because he has a vendetta against Trump.)

12. So the WH publicly told witnesses not to testify when subpoenaed and

withheld emails and other evidence--and he's not guilty of obstruction?

What then would make him guilty?

7. One Ball Romney

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. But that's one more ball than the others have.

10. Pathetic

[renate]

13. lol... I do admire him for voting guilty on the first article, but this cracked me up! nt

[Pachamama]

16. Dark humor is needed at this time...

It’s what popped in my head when I heard he voted to acquit on 2nd Article....

8. well

as long as he is guilty on something is baby steps. He probably know the mob will be after him and hope he has protection.It is more than the other criminals has done.It is like they have let a killer off for killing 8.000,000 people.

11. I don't have a problem with that really.

Abuse of power article was the biggie.

[XRubicon]

14. Me too

You cant say he didn't make an honest judgment.

I don't agree, but I really cant fault him.

[ooky]

15. Me either.

I respect his reasoning was arrived at honestly even though I don't agree with it. I think it is clear he took his responsibilities seriously.
