Romney: GOP investigation into Hunter Biden and Burisma 'appears political'

Sen. Mitt Romney said his party’s investigation into 2020 Democratic front-runner Joe Biden’s son and a Ukrainian gas company “appears political.”

“There's no question but that the appearance of looking into Burisma and Hunter Biden appears political, and I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations,” the Utah Republican told reporters Thursday.

Earlier this week, Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson said he intended to seek a subpoena against a former consultant for a U.S. firm with connections to Burisma Holdings. Biden was on the board of the energy company while his father was vice president.

Johnson, who insisted he's "not focused on the Bidens," alleged the company “sought to leverage Hunter Biden’s role as a board member of Burisma to gain access to, and potentially influence matters at, the State Department.”

Many Republicans have questioned why Biden was hired by the company when he had no previous experience in the energy sector. Joe Biden's presidential campaign, meanwhile, brushed off news of the investigation.

What was your vote on impeachment about if not political you dufus.

Wow.
He really has jumped into the deep end of the Democrat swimming pool.
The GOP/RNC should come up with some way to expel him from the Party.
He is not a Republican. He is not even a moderate Republican.
No. He has morphed into a full blown Leftist Liberal Democrat.
Romney should not be allowed to present credentials showing colors which he does not wear.

I would love to see the Pubs follow up on your thought after the Nov. election, if they gain seats in the Senate.

So to extrapolate the statement to its absurd conclusion: Only the Democrats get to investigate the Democrats... How the hell is that going to work out?

He is not a Republican. He is not even a moderate Republican.
No. He has morphed into a full blown Leftist Liberal Democrat.

He has always been a bleeding heart liberal, and represents the liberal wing of the Republican party. He has been the very same thing all the way along.

Folks have to disabuse themselves of the notion that Republican means the same thing as conservative.
It is not true, and has never been true.

Careful there Willard, you're liable to be consumed by your own hatred.

   Unfortunately it's up to the citizens of Utah to remove this azzhole but the least Mitch/GOP could do is to get him off of all committees, NOW.

Ya lost, Mitt. Trump is still President, and being a Presidential candidate doesn't shield Joe Biden - or his son - from investigations of their probable corruption.

Unless I am mistaken, I believe Mitt Romney’s foreign policy adviser Joseph Cofer Black served on the board of Burisma Holdings alongside Hunter Biden.

Romney, Hillary, Biden, and a dozen others, have a stake in Burisma.
That's exactly what has half of D.C. in terror. They have been found out by Trump.
The Democrats rule and control most domestic media outlets in America.
But they cannot control the world. The truth will out.
And Romney is no different from Hillary when it comes to corruption and greed.

[Fishrrman]

Boy oh boy, is this Mittens a certified P.O.S. ...

Exactly, I think that is the connection.

And, Romney is going to try to scuttle the investigation, sure puts his impeachment vote in perspective.

Well, look for the bag to run in 2024 or back Biden.

Romney could block Republican subpoena try aimed at the Bidens
Romney’s vote is pivotal. Republicans maintain an 8-to-6 majority in the committee, and if Romney sides with Democrats the result would be a 7-7 tie.


"There’s no question but that the appearance of looking into Burisma and Hunter Biden appears political. And I think people are tired of these kinds of political investigations," Romney said.

...and the corruption continues.  Sure seems like Mittens has his hands in the cookie jar. We've gone from traitor McCain to Traitor Mitt!

Romney doesn't give a damn about Joe Biden or Hunter Biden or Hillary.
All his votes are to protect HIMSELF and no one else.
How would it look for a guy representative of Mormons to turn out to be a lying, cheating, thief, with no sense of ethics at all?
Regardless of what blocking measures he does, in the end he will be exposed.
Expelled from the Mormon Church, very possibly, but these days who knows?

  Absolutely right!

[Bigun]

  And a self-serving one to boot!

[240B]

What they are doing in Washington D.C. is, they are making all the defendants jurors...as to whether or not the defendant should be charged. Well...let me think about this for a minute...I'm guessing that the guilty party is going to vote 'not guilty'. But that is just me so...

[bigheadfred]

One day closer.

Three blind mice.
