Mitt Romney knocks Biden for ‘enormous error’ in not pardoning Trump

Fierce Trump critic Mitt Romney voiced bewilderment at why President Biden didn’t pardon his predecessor as soon as the federal indictments came down, with the Utah senator saying “he should have fought like crazy” to keep them from moving forward.
“Had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought on indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him,” Romney (R-Utah) told MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle.”
“Because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy.”
Romney, 77, who is set to retire at the end of his term next January, backed both impeachments against Trump in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
Biden, 81, who has taken a backseat to the Justice Department and rarely discusses his rival’s legal woes in public, laughed off questions about pardoning his predecessor.

Pardoning? Biden is the one persecuting Trump.
PeteS in CA:
Translation: "I know the indictments are frivolously bogus, but 'pardoning' Trump would have made Trump look guilty!"
Romney's envy and bitterness over Trump having been elected President while he, Romney, had been rejected by voters is cringey.

Willard (Romney), you are such a tool. Were you hammered from drinking too much malted milk?
How is pardoning Trump different from the Office of President having absolute immunity from prosecution?
If Biden pardoned Trump, Trump would still run for President in 2024, and, if elected, be "dictator for a day".
Absolving someone from being held accountable by a jury of his peers is anarchy.
