Senator Mitt Romney has slammed Donald Trump for saying that he would accept dirt on a political opponent from a foreign government, saying the president’s remarks are “simply unthinkable.”
Mr Romney, who was the 2012 Republican nominee for president before winning his Senate seat last year, said during an impromptu interview with reporters that he would contact the FBI immediately if a foreign government approached him in that way.

Why would a President today contact the FBI when it is corrupt itself?

I am so tired of Romney. Who cares what this POS has to say. Try as he might, he is never going to get his second five minutes of fame -- maybe infamy but not fame.

After watching Mitt go all scorched earth on his fellow Republicans, I have no doubt he would use any and all dirt he was given regardless of source and regardless of veracity.

In politics no help from a foreign entity is free. It is like accepting perfectly legal assistance from the mob. Someday they will call in that chit. Count on it.

Mitt slams Trump. It appears Mitt McCain has found his station in life. He can join that other useless Morman, Harry Reid and they can tell anti-Trump stories.

The president is the executive branch. There is only one boss and that is the president. All other employees are inferior to the president. If The Trump comes across some foreign information, he can decide for himself if he wishes to get the FBI involved. He is not obligated to provide the FBI with anything. The FBI works for the president, not the other way around.
Speaking to George Steph was a brilliant move by Trump. When the indictments are handed down, the JunkMedia will conveniently steer clear of Comey's FBI taking forged information from a foreign agent.

President Trump was asked a hypothetical question by a known Democrat political operative connected to the Clintons, and gave in his hypothetical imprecise answer by way of his Queens vernacular, that is now being misrepresented by the Democrat political operative, other liberal media operatives, and much of the Democrat Congress.

I wonder when Romney will stop trashing President Trump & start focusing on the corruption during the Obama years...you know the mischief Barr is investigating . I think Romney is saying what McConnell wants him to say. Go away Romney, you are boring or join CNN with John Dean.

I am scratching my head on this one. Didn't we just spend 30 million dollars looking into political dirt on Pres. Trump just because his political opponent Hillary Clinton paid to have political dirt spread on him! She not only accepted it; she paid for it. Why hasn't Mitt et al slammed her for what she did! Huh? Huh?

Should I suppose he also denigrates Hillary for the Russian situation? Or is he a hypocrite and a liar?
Oh, yes... politician...
Have you noticed, people who seek public office are remarkably similar in psychological profile to serial killers? They tend to lack empathy/sympathy for their prey (voters), they are good at manipulating people, and love to be in control. They may be sadistic with certain 'trigger' types.
Why do we elect these degenerates, again?

Mitt Romney is a fatuous hypocrite. His campaign for the Republican Party nomination in 2012 was the dirtiest I've ever seen. He laughed openly with liberal reporters about using opposition research to destroy GOP rivals he couldn't defeat on principle. The accusations against Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, and Rick Santorum were pervasive and dishonest. One commentator on this site referred to it as "the Great Romney Tμrd-hurling Machine." It was a primary campaign devoid of principle and purpose.
Then his minions went after Santorum's wife over abortion. Karen Santorum almost lost her own life trying to save their baby in a pregnancy that was killing her. Doctors finally had to refuse her pleas because their ethics wouldn't allow them to kill one patient to save another. Attacking a man and his wife over an issue so personal to them speaks to a lack of character in Romney that is truly appalling.
Removing Mitt Romney from public life should be considered an act of basic political hygiene.

Any time a politician talks about this, it is the epitome of hypocrisy. Pencil necked Schiff For Brains was recorded talking to a 'Russian' about getting dirt on Trump. Hannity played it the other night. Hilzilla paid somebody who paid somebody who paid somebody for the Steele dossier. These are just two that come to mind. Then PDJT says he MIGHT look at oppo info if someone gave it to him and they go bat poop crazy. I'm so tired and worn out with the media and the dhims.

One among many reasons why this man lost his bid to be president, and will never succeed in national election. He's to dainty to win, among those delicate blossoms in the upper branches of the GOP that think politics is a Gentleman's sport, and so often lose. Admittedly they lose so well one could admire them were it not for the fact they are losing to people who are destroying the very fabric of the Nation.

This is how PDJT continues to expose the Left and RINOs to the American People. There is an election coming up in 2020, and he wants to make sure they all get an equal chance to shoot themselves in the foot, in full view of the American Electorate.
In other words, Fools, you being played!

Double standard alert: Yet another example of media, dems and rhinos acting like their hair is on fire over something a republican politician SAID. Meanwhile the actions of a democrat politician who DID just exactly that (accepted dirt on a political opponent from {or processed through} a foreign government, ) is ignored.

If President Trump could not hypothetically “listen” to what world leaders in the future want to tell him about alleged leftist and liberal Democrat corrupt activities, how would Trump be able to inform the FBI about those conversations, so that legitimate and non-political FBI criminal investigations could be commenced and the perpetrators prosecuted if lawfully appropriate?
Common sense will tell you that hiding the allegations of high level Democrat corruption from the FBI would not be personally or politically beneficial to Trump.

From the craphead who got his butt kicked by puny obama who was losing the night of the election. Remember when obama was almost in tears at some rally no one attended on election night? They had to manufacture crowds at his events, and he knew he was going to lose, then poof! a win for the mulatto light-bringer. And, of course, baby Romney said nothing at all about the widespread cheating. He shut his mouth and went home dutifully, just like John McCain. Traitor. We haven't forgotten, you worthless, spineless loser. You need and we need you to shut up now. Pretend we're democrats asking you to shut up.
