Sen. Mitt Romney tore into President Trump’s decision to commute his ally Roger Stone’s prison sentence.
“Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president,” the Utah Republican tweeted Saturday morning. [Tweet]
It was the strongest statement of disapproval yet from a high-profile Republican after the White House announced on Friday that the president was commuting Stone’s entire three-year prison sentence, which does leave intact his criminal record.
Stone, 67, was set to report to prison on Tuesday. An emergency appeal to extend his July 14 surrender date because of the pandemic was rejected

Is he at the top of the insufferable list, or just part of it?
(He and Judge (use the term loosely) Sullivan are neck in neck for BOY — Boobs of the Year.

Romney wants so hard to be McCain, but he can't even produce anything worthy to claim the title. At least McCain had his military career, Romney has nothing but an empty core, waiting for whatever somebody wants to put in there that day, that issue. Wet Finger Romney is pathetic, he always was, and he always will be until he dies.

Ol' Mittens is the voice crying out against corruption huh? I'm sure he was as vocal about the DOJ/FBI corruption and seditious actions of the deep-state DC cabal, right? No??? Well, that's interesting.
He's part of the PROBLEM; NOT part of the solution - bottom line.
Go away Mitt! You're just annoying.

McRombamaney is channeling his evil twin, McCain from the grave. Mittens jealousy envy and man crush on Trump is totally off the chain. Get a life Mittens. Let go. Move on in your life and enjoy the blessings God has given you and thank him for things you want that he did not give you.
It’s all for a reason. It’s time to woke up.

Mittens/Pierre Delecto is one disgusting RINO that has messed in his pants.
He and his pal RYANO let this country down when we needed a fighter to go against an avowed Alinskyite/Marxist/Street Organizer trying to turn this into a lawless, socialist country--
What a disappointment and milquetoast candidate against Nobama-- his lack of fighting against the tide has cost U.S. dearly

It must be torture for Romney to wake up every morning knowing that he'll never be POTUS and PDJT will forever be either "President Trump," or "Former President Trump." Much as he tries, his scheme to lead the Republican opposition to Trump has gone down in flames as well. The past four years have shown him to be a shameless, backstabbing opportunist with no principles and earning him the well-deserved contempt of anyone aware of his antics.

Mitt Romney has a law degree from Harvard Law School. He is the only U.S. Senator in history who voted in any Senate impeachment trial to convict a President of his own political party, all while ignoring the total lack of due process afforded by the House of Representatives. It's more than disgraceful. Shame on him.

Why does this fool keep insisting he's a Republican? Come on , Mitt. Move to the other side of the aisle, put a "D" next to your name and get on with life. At least if you did, we Republicans could more easily understand and accept your Trump hatred and probably barely notice it.

Pierre (Mittens) is so far gone that he misidentifies POTUS as corrupt when in fact it was the corrupt jury foreman that was corrupt.
Like everything Mittens does. he has the corruption backwards.
He is really a backwards wonder.

Thousands of hardened criminals were released from prison due to the Coronavirus and don't have to do any further time. Why should senior citizen Roger Stone be sent to a coronavirus infected prison when all the above get off scot free?

Romney is such a horrible person, such a fraud. All he says now are political lies.
No, sir, that's not true. Clinton pardoning hundreds the last day, some for big bucks was REAL unprecidented corruption.
This was stopping a real miscarriage of justice.

Where was Romney when hardened criminals were released all over the nation for fear of Covid ? That prison sentence was the death penalty for Stone and that left wing joke of a judge is well aware.

It's possible that Obama's second term can be counted as less destructive than a Romney presidency would have been. I think Trump would still have run in 2016, but his nomination would have been magnitudes harder to accomplish. Thinking about the long term consequences of a Romney presidency now gives me a queasy stomach. How very odd to be almost grateful that he didn't win in 2012.

Someone needs to sit down with Romney, and explain the whole sordid affair from the Obama administration.
I seem to recall hearing that Romney, after he learned of the hidden transcripts of the numerous individuals involved in the Russian scheme, and who testified, under oath, and confirmed there was nothing to the collusion or any other issue, that he would not have voted for his one lone impeachment article.
So, he's not likely up-to-speed on what's been happening.

I would like to have mitt say that to Roger Stone's face. There is a Yupik slang word, "Gomakh (phonetic, don't ask me to spell it in Yupik)." It means feckless, irresponsible, or a punk. Literally it means "tapeworm." This is the word that goes through my brain when I see articles about mitt.

One question. Are the voters in Utah happy to have Mitt as their Senator? After all, he is supposed to be speaking for them. I would love to know if they feel the same hatred for the President as Mitt does.

Mitt Romney has become a bitter fool. Let's review some really corrupt pardons, Mitt. From the King of Corruption, Obama the Great--Oscar Lopez Rivera of F.A.L.N., the great revolutionary who bombed Fraunce's Tavern in NYC killing three(?) people, and from the Great Horndog himself, William Jefferson Clinton, who pardoned the crooked Mark Rich after doing Rich's wife, who also chipped a few million into the Clinton coffers. Did I forget anything?

People in Utah that I know are no longer fans of Mitt. His influence to be of help and use to the state isn't much. I also think he has diminished some people's view of his character as we along with the country scratch our heads and some of us think WTF?

Who is Romney? I'll answer that. He's nobody. He's not important, and we don't care to hear his views all the time. We collectively want him to shut up! He didn't get elected President, he sat quietly by while obama tore up the country, so he needs to know we have zero value for his commentary now.

I want all the corrupt politicians who laundered US Taxpayer money thru Ukraine thugs to be investigated and tried for fraud, money laundering and treason. That means the Bidens, Pelosi, Kerry, other rats and most of all the smug slob Romney. The fact that they can do this in broad daylight with so much evidence and get away with it, shows how far gone our justice and investigative departments of government are.

The most 'historic' thing about Trump's so-called corruption is that he's the first President who's made questionably-ethical decisions between 2018 and 2019. Mittens is being either hysterical or hyperbolic, or both.
