Mitt Romney, among Donald Trump's biggest Republican critics, comes to his defense in New York case
Story by David Jackson, USA TODAY • Tuesday

WASHINGTON – Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, one of Donald Trump's fiercest GOP critics, again criticized him as unfit for office Tuesday – but he also questioned the merit of the case that New York prosecutors filed against the former president.
 
“I believe President Trump’s character and conduct make him unfit for office," Romney said after the former president's arraignment. "Even so, I believe the New York prosecutor has stretched to reach felony criminal charges in order to fit a political agenda."

Romney, who voted to convict Trump after an impeachment trial on the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, began disputing Trump's qualifications before the latter's first Republican nomination for the presidency back in 2016.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Willard, is that because you also falsify your business records in New York?

I think even this RINO understands that the socialist dims are two eyelashes away from criminalizing being a republican.

Where Mittens is concerned there may be a self serving reason as to why he's defending Trump.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Willard is a vulture capital psychopath ... it's like days of yore, when aristocrats would circle the wagons when one of them was under threat from the hoi polloi.

@libertybele

Not totally ruling that out, but those days are way way in the past in a way past life for him, and my best guess even further outside the scope of statute of limitiations.   

Of course that doesn't include anything that might be uhhhhhh incredibly damning and embarassing that might impact his political fortunes.
