Romney disagrees with GOP congressman's conclusion on Trump's 'impeachable conduct'

Source: CNN

Sen. Mitt Romney said Sunday that he disagrees with Rep. Justin Amash on the Michigan Republican's recent comments that President Donald Trump's conduct meets the "threshold for impeachment."

"My own view is that Justin Amash has reached a different conclusion than I have. I respect him, I think it's a courageous statement," Romney told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

"The American people just aren't there," he added. "The Senate is certainly not there, either."

Romney, who represents Utah and served as the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, said he spent two full days reading special counsel Robert Mueller's report and concluded the investigation did not uncover enough evidence to make an obstruction of justice case against Trump.

Remind everyone that the GOP Senate will never, ever under any circumstance vote to convict or remove Trump from office.

Someone needs to tell him that the Senate will be in favor only when Senators like him decide to do uphold and defend the Constitution.

Senator Flake was always on TV saying how concerned he was about this or that, but always ended up toeing the party line. Flake said he believed in Kavanaugh’s accusers, yet voted to put him on the Supreme Court.

Mitt Romney is the new Jeff Flake!

Like Susan Collins, Jeff Flake and Mitt Romney. Nothing but weasel words about moderation and bipartisanship, always playing both ends from the middle, then reliably supporting their party's regressive agenda.

Going to try and play fake moderate Republican. He never gave a reason involving content of the report. There's just no point talking to the man unless you're going to try and pin him down on specifics.

so that you and him could really decimate the Constitution, but your doing that job now by putting his and your federalist society assholes on the bench, that have no business being on the bench let alone being assigned to clean toilets at Bain Capital, they should be removed and impeach just like you.................end of fucking story.
Since you never have defended or swore to upheld the Constitution, you prove it every fucking day when you show up. And now the corporate lackey media is giving you and this Amash character air time, the same guy that voted to take away health just look at his May 9 2019 vote asshole.

By the way Mittin's, what is your plan for woman privacy and health care, gotta any fucking ideas running through that Bain Capital brain.....................................your like how you take over a com0nay and sell it off for a profit..........................FUCK YOU Romney and your fucking horse......................spineless POS..............
