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 unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.

Mittins, Welcome to the party Pal!
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Where Mittens is concerned there may be a self serving reason as to why he's defending Trump.

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.
