Joe Biden should have pardoned Donald Trump on all federal criminal charges the moment they were announced, the Utah senator and former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said.
“Had I been President Biden,” Romney said, “when the justice department brought out indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him. I’d have pardoned President Trump.”
“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.”
Romney was speaking to MSNBC, in an interview to be broadcast on The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday night.
So here’s a radical idea Mitt, perhaps the previous president shouldn’t have committed numerous crimes? Then there wouldn’t be any need to prosecute him…
I guess that’s why Mittens has never been president.
Though Gerald Ford as his model for presidential behavior certainly tracks.
Gerald Ford was Vice President and President but wasn’t voted in for either job.
Mittens was the “God Emperor” of Goonswarm. He was also a totally different person, though he is a lawyer.
No.

Heh, as years go by, less and less folks recognize my bee stickers at the office. Fucking spais anyways… ;p
And, frankly, the country doesn’t want to have to go through prosecuting a former president.
Yes, we do. We really, really do.
The American people never wanted Trump in the first place.
Frankly, the country shouldn’t listen to people who wear magic underwear, yet here you are.
You’re not part of “the country” he’s talking about. He means the elites
Politicians are not good people. And they don’t want the law affecting them.
Eh, there’s some good eggs out there. Katie Porter, AOC, Bernie Sanders, etc…
The system resists them, but they’re out there. I’ve often considered trying to do it myself, because someone has to.
If you’re serious about this, there are resources available.
The fuck? Mitt… you hate Trump?!
He loves the party though, and they chose Trump, so now he has to say garbage like this.
No he doesn’t, it’s all an act. If he was invited to dinner right now, he’d jump at the chance
So one of his reasons for not prosecuting criminal behavior by the sitting President is, “the country doesn’t feel like it!?”
- Says who?
- When you say shit like that, it’s really hard to believe the myth that nobody is above the law.
- You no longer get to say you’re the “law and order” anything.
Yes, we do want the rich and politicians to be held accountable.
I wonder why a rich politician would say such a thing.
Mitt the Shit should STFU.
Same people who will let a 14 year old kid be tried as an adult think that a grown man should be let off scot free.
I don’t give 47% of a shit what Mittens the Car Topper Dog has to say.
Fuck off Mitt.
Romney believes that if he folds like Chamberlain, that Republicans can control Trump. Chamberlain was wrong, and so is Romney.
If Biden doesn’t win, we will probably get a bystander idea of what the Book of Revelations looks like. I mean, if you can blatantly commit crimes, including insurrection, when Trump is sidelined, imagine what is possible when he’s back in charge?
I’m not even American but this will even impact upon me. Indirectly, what you guys do over there follows us home in lots of ways.
I really thought his answer would be “ because then he wouldn’t be running” or “ so he couldn’t plea the fifth
Eat shit, Mitt
