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

[quote=PeterS]This is a good example of just how far to the right today's conservatives have moved...as Romney, who is more or less a centrist, is sickened by Trump's dishonesty while his base could care less about what Donald Trump says or does.
I don't know if the Mueller report has exposed Trump for what he is or if it has exposed today's conservative for the degenerates that they've become...all so they could gain political power.

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 e******n 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.
Mueller’s report also laid out numerous contacts between members of Trump’s 2016 campaign and family members with Russians, some of whom offered information deemed helpful in electing the billionaire. It also painted a picture of Trump as a man desperate to keep those ties hidden from the public.
“If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state,” Mueller wrote. “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment.”
Romney, the Republican nominee for president in 2012, said reading the report proved difficult.
“Reading the report is a sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founders,” Romney wrote.
Romney had been sharply critical of Trump’s business practices, temperament and foreign policy proposals during the 2016 primaries. But when Trump endorsed him for his Senate bid last year, Romney happily accepted.[/quote
Just because I believe all democrats are treasonous and stupid it doesn't mean I think any higher of the other party who have all proved their loyalty to their president and Romney is only stabbing Trump in the back because McCain is dead.You might have a hard time believing this but Republicans are crooks too. They just ain't treasonous.
And if the Mueller report had anything in it do ya think that Trump h**er would said something about it? You don't have an investigation on a f**e report without any evidence. It's called one of the worst Constitutional violation in history. Talk about a conspiracy Hillary and the democrat party trying to unset an elected president using lies and more lies. But we all know it's all going to come together. Especially with the snitching and the ratting going on.

Who is Mitt Romney again? And why should anyone care what he has to say.
Oh yeah, he’s that Mormon, failed-multiple-times Presidentail candidate who ended up settling to be the senator from Mormon Utah, with Trump’s help.
Hey Mitt, you’re a washed up has-been and you’re only a Utah senator because Trump made it possible. Nobody cares about your opinions. You’re exceeding your pay grade when you weigh in on things that don’t concern you. V**ers won’t forget you’re a back stabbing ingrate who doesn’t even deserve to be Utah’s senator. You’ll be v**ed out next e******n cycle! Goodbye!!

Bluntly, Romney is butt hurt because Trump did what he failed to do. Be elected president by a strong and engaged base. Romney should've stayed in retirement. He hasn't done a dang thing except join the Democrat chorus.

Who cares about Romney? He and his cohort RINO Ryan should just put a (D) after their name. Romney is just jealous that Trump got the job done and the little wussy from Utah couldn't. Romney should just shut up....or join the Dem party. And that goes for Ryan too. If Ryan wanted to be Speaker, he should have been 100% committed to be in Trump's corner. He wasn't. Nobody cares what Romney the t*****r, has to say. Romney is the enemy of the Right and a failure. We had to put up with 4 more years of the Marxist president because this lackey couldn't get the job done. Complete failure. Go back to La Jolla and count your millions. Romney is meaningless, inconsequential. PeterS ~ so you found one guys who is a putz, Big Deal.

Who cares? You had better dig deeper for your "bash of the week" PeterS. You guys are such children. You find a guy like Romney who is a complete joke who is disliked (except for a handful of Morons up in SLC land). That's the best you can do? Wow! you are really hard up for a Trump slam. Romney should have a (D) after his name, he is such a disappointment to the true P**********l base. What an embarrassment. When I lived in SLC and would see guys like Sen. Hatch in town, I used to think most Mormon politicians were "OK". Chaffetz was OK..

This is why your arguments fail. Comservatives aren’t the problem. The republican party has changed. Liberalism has morphed into progressivism which is k*****g our country from within.
You harp on others yet you fail to see that democrats are no different. They too want political power and everything they do is to that end.
The real problem is the sheeple not the parties.

Mitt Romney, Mr. 44%. Remember yesterday? Has McCarran Walter been repealed? It hasn't, it has been modified, but they still have to take the oath ON THE BIBLE. Therefore, I'd say impeachment should be right around the corner for some.

I swear, knowing what I know about Romney today I would have v**ed for Obama instead of him. At least we KNEW Obama was anti-American. RINOs hide behind the (R) to hide their real agenda.

==================
I am so s**k of Mitt Romney. He is a t*****r. In 2012, I spent lots of money for him, and helped his campaign. I believe he is a coward and a t*****r.
