Mitt Romney Offers Unbelievable Suggestion on Trump’s Crimes - newrepublic.com/post/181621/m...
"In an exclusive interview on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour With Stephanie Ruhle, Republican Senator Mitt Romney offered some questionable retroactive political calculus for President Biden, saying he should have exerted his presidential pardon power and intervened in the civil and criminal cases against Donald Trump.
“[Biden] should have fought like crazy to keep this prosecution from going forward,” Romney said during the interview.
“Had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought out indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him,” he added. “Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned the little guy. And, number two, it’s not going to get resolved before the election. It’s not going to have an impact before the election. And, frankly, the country doesn’t want to have to go through prosecuting a former president.”"

Accepting a pardon is a CLEAR admission of guilt.
Sure is
Saying he needs to be pardoned means they know he did the crimes.
It also says that they don't care.
Good point
Romney has no clue how badly prosecuting Trump is needed for the sanctity and sanity of our Democracy. It proves Romney doesn't give a damn about our country. What a jerk.
No pardon for Trump.
What a disappointment Senator Romney is.
Treason should not be pardoned!
Vickit3887:Exactly!!!!
Terrible, ignorant blunder by Romney!
Shame on Romney 🤬🤬🤬 No one is above the RULE OF LAW 🤬🤬🤬
Rules for thee but not for we!
Shame on you Mr. Romney.
Once again….disgusted from Canada 🇨🇦.
Mitt doesn't understandrthe danger of a former president who held a insurrection.
No one should be above the law. Trump belongs in prison
Trump is a walking talking crime scene.
Romney...NO!!!!! NO! NO!!! You VOTED to impeach him part 2, good for you! But a Biden PARDON??!! No way!!!👹🤬😳
Mitt, just take your wealth and go away. You are out of touch, as always.
NO! Nixon's pardon wasa major bluder!!
No - we don't pardon traitors. Send his ass to jail and show the world what happens to people who try to overthrow our government.
You cannot pardon a poisonous snake,or it will turn against you and bite you
Yup..the turtle and the scorpion
Sure, give him a pardon so he can continue to fight for fascism!
The problem comes from the first pardon given to a president in the past and that was the biggest mistake.
Gee, Mitt, we're lucky those indictments- all those crimes aren't all about you building a career. *_ACCOUNTABILITY is very REAL._* Your sickening, Mitt. Sickening.
Trump is nothing but a clown show that has followers.
If Nixon hadn't been pardoned, we wouldn't BE here. There HAS to be accountability.
This. We set the stage for Iran contra, bush war crimes, and whatever the hell Trump is by pardoning Nixon.
Um, no comparison at all. But the Roy Cohn connections exist. What you meant to say is if J Edgar Hoover's lover Roy Cohn had exposed serial pedophile Francis Sinatra instead of blackmailing Sinatra to be Roy's messenger boy to JFK, yeah, no Bay of Pigs and no Cuban Missile Crisis would have also meant:
No Ted Cruz
No Trump
No AIPAC
No NRA
If you want to understand what Nixon was exposing by Watergate.
Motives tell much. Both parties were trying to break up crime syndicates, but instead of working together, they just went after the criminals helping their opposition.
Here we go again.
All ORGANIZED CRIME HARMS ALL AMERICANS. Why hasn't Garland used RICO? Oh, because AIPAC is a case study of what RICO qualifications dictate.
please do not ever pardon trump. he needs to be held accountable.
Mitt is finally irrelevant! 😂
Trump MUST be proven guilty before any pardon is considered
Not to worry because I don’t think anyone is thinking pardon.
Get lost, Mitt
Except for the fact he is still trying to overthrow the government
Looking like the big man isn't going to help the police officers who were beaten so badly on 1/6 they ended up in hospital.
So sad to see Romney, Barr, and others who looked like they'd seen through Trump's BS all running back to him.
Romney forgets that he was in danger Jan 6th don't he?.
Pardon Thee Worst Crime in American History ?... are you Effing High Romney ?
Disagree. Glad he wasn't president
Romney is a country club Republican. Outsiders have to follow the rules.
Thats one of many reasons he should never become President.
Romney is forgetting one major thing. For a Pardon to be offered, it requires the recipient acknowledging that they did wrong.
Trump will never acknowledge he did wrong.
So true. He doesn't take an ounce of accountability.
Pardon DJT, only if he and his family voluntarily relinquish their citizenship and go and live in a country with Kim or Putin as boss.
Pardoning anyone prior to a conviction is ludicrous.
My in-laws are LDS. Mitt's spewing Mormon ideology.
Why is he so fing clueless?
Still a conservative
How are rich people sometimes, the most clueless samplings, of the human race?
WTH Mitt? Pardon him? So stupid.
Mit, quit while you're ahead.
He's not ahead. He's becoming more irrelevant every day.
You thought will be coming true, cause he is not seeking re-election!
He really is showing his disregard for the law. As a lawmaker, that's a concern.
I'm still pissed that Gerald Ford pardoned Richard "I am Not a Crook" Nixon. Some nasty memories fade, but they never go away.
So much for " no one is above the law"
Translation, a rich Republican White Man needs to be protected and as another rich Republican White Man its my job to protect my own.
Just when I thought there were still real Republicans left, one goes off on pardoning Trump if he were President.
W.T.F. lol
Nah, there’s no good reason to hold accountable the first person with the nerve to try to overthrow a free and fair election. WTF is Romney thinking?
Dumb move , STUPID , Nothing short of maximum security prison.
I've always felt that Romney was one of the more principled Republicans in the public sphere, but this is just nonsense
The idea I thought behind a pardon was that the person accepted they were guilty so that alone will disqualify Trump.
You can’t presidential pardon State crimes or civil court findings.
😮 wow....really Romney....😢
You are such a walking contradiction 😮 too bad you couldn't stick by the courage of your convictions 😢
But wait a minute.... would Trump pardon Biden..... F@ck no!
What The Hell, Is He Playing At, NOW??!!
And people Die dam on J6. Asked those children if Trump should be pardon.
Go away, mittens. Let the courts decide.
Media keeps saying no one is paying attention to the Trump trials or Supreme Court hearings. Yes, we are. Oh, yes, we are.
Mainstream media would like you to believe a lot of things that aren't true.
Thank you for your sanity. Everything Romney is saying is wrong on every level. For once in my life, I want to see consequences.
After everything Romney has done to oppose Trump, why would he suddenly cave in to Trump's base with a ridiculous concession?
Hey Romney , just stop.
I hope people now see that Romney is not and has never been a heroic figure!
Nobody ever said "Man, that Gerald Ford really was such a Big Guy for pardoning Nixon"
Indeed! And back then the situation was very different. Nixon knew that it was over. Trump will never stop, being pardoned or not. He must be held accountable. I think Romney is making the mistake that many "moderate" Republicans make. They don't see that any type of decency is completely wasted on Trump (or the current Republikkkan party for that matter) because he is such a sociopath.
@@c330user Just more Feudalist Royals doin' more Feudalist Royal things.
@@c330userExactly!!!
Romey, NOT TOO BRIGHT!!!!
Mitt is trash
From the man who said “corporations are people too” and the NotsoSupreme Court believed him ….
6:40 "I'm not gonna be voting for President Trump". Mate, when you say you're not voting for PRESIDENT Trump it makes me doubt you're even telling the truth.
Mitt: You destroyed your reputation for sensibility in the face of evil when you came out and stated this “Pardon Him” reflection. You once were a voice for civility, bi-partisanship, the Constitution, Rule of Law, and Truth over MAGA Lies and BS. Not any more, Mitt?
I think Mitt has lost his damn mind.
I had a small bit of respect for Mitt, none now!
Never respect the wealthy. They have none for you.
What you have to remember is that Mitt Romney is still _Mitt Romney._ Shocking, I know.
Mitt is 100% wrong on this.
I hold him and many other Republicans in, I wouldn’t say positive, but in a certain esteem due to their consistent adherence to a horrifically misguided set of values. This interview is a perfect display of this.
Mitt wants to preserve a sense of decorum in the political process, and doesn’t realize that a hoard of orcs is already stamping and raging at the gates.
I can appreciate his intention, but it’s a Chamberlain moment, the Hate Tsunami is already cresting, and all the old codes of negotiation are irrelevant.
Bro.,.... Mitt told us corporation's are people
Dude, 2 words: Gerald. Ford.
This is why we have Trump. Ford pardoned Nixon.
Journey Man378:Exactly!!!
Yup
I used to have respect for Romney.Not anymore.
No No No No & effing NO!!!!
Any respect Mormon Mitt had earned was lost at 0:00- 0:26.
So Romney thinks trump is guilty. trump isn't going to like that.
Why Romney is not the President.
Trump like MTG never apologizes, but pardons are always proper etiquette.... that's not the way the laws work
Mitt, I thought you had brains, how about using them for the good of America and not for the good of a potential Dictator? You have fallen from grace, in my eyes 👀! America Deserves Better
The public push back on Ford's pardon of Nixon
Just when I thought Mitty is not one of the despicable ones he proves me wrong. Well he is republican after all.
No no no pardon no 😊
How did it workout for president Ford giving a pardon to Nixon. He lost the election because he did. And if Biden did pardon Trump I won't vote for him.
american support for criminal behaviour is as sickeningly strong as ever.
Rich and powerful think the law doesn't applies to them
This is a perfect example of why Romney lost his presidential election. He is so out of touch with the common man. He's a law and order guy until it comes to the rich and powerful and trumps felonies. trump should get the absolute maximum sentences for his crimes. He is suppose to be a positive example for everyone. Instead he's a destructive, negative example. And this seems to be lost on Romney and all of trumps minions.
Mitt should stick to his mormon church.
Romney doesn't care about crime. Romney doesn't care that the president should not interfere in prosecutions. Romney knows Biden pardoning trump would lose Biden votes, not get him votes. Is Romney able to think about anything in terms of how it helps the republicans politically?
The Rich protecting the Rich.
Well now the interesting part of what Mittens is proposing is that by accepting a pardon the person is admitting that they are guilty of the crime they are being pardoned for. So basically Mittens is admitting in this interview that he knows Drumpf is guilty of the crimes he is being accused of. Ain't that just interestin.
There is the need for the courts to convict and sentence Trump properly before any pardons could be considered,if at all
Romney is a dolt!.
Your country is so, so screwed up.
Uhm…, it’s not just us. Idk if you’re paying attention, the majority of the WORLD is screwed up at the moment, nuclear proliferation, wars, genocide, heinous crimes, pollution, migration, persecutions etc, etc… I know there have been times when it was worse in past history. Damn, I wish we (the world) would learn from our mistakes.
Spineless politician to the end, now he's prostrating for MAGA voters (Watch out MAGA, in the end, Romney's will be harder to take)
Romney is definitely the little guy
Nitwit Witt Romney
Well said; I would also feel betrayed. Watters and FAUX News would absolutely make it something it wasn't.
NO. He should NOT.
What? So, it's not about right and wrong?
Never ever pardon Donald Trump, never ever.
Mitt is raving mad
