Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday said that investigating Burisma and former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter “appears political” and that he had not decided whether to vote in favor of a subpoena related to the investigation.

“There’s no question but that the appearance of looking into Burisma and Hunter Biden appears political,” Romney told reporters Thursday. “And I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations and would hope that if there’s something of significance that needs to be evaluated that it would be done by perhaps the FBI or some other agency that’s not as political as perhaps a committee of our body.”

"We also have a lot of work to do on matters that are not related to Burisma, we probably oughta focus on those things," he said, adding that he would speak with Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) later on Thursday.

Romney might be getting ready to defect to the Democrats if he doesn’t get his way (Seems he thinks he won the presidential election in 2016. Would someone stick a hot poker up his butt and tell him he didn’t and that he should STFU or resign).

The New conservatives should NOT SUFFER fools lightly. Romney has got to go, out of Congress and into a home for the politically ambitious losers.

Tell us, Romney, what does *not* look "political" to you?

That's easy: anything that a Democrat does.

You seem to be saying, if a crime has a political connection, it may not be investigated.

Sounds like a license for corruption.

Exactly.

I guess one could say that is one of the reasons that our government is so deeply corrupt.

I suppose now is the time to look into Romney’s kid’s corruption as well as Pelosi’s and Kerry’s.

It most certainly is political... we have corrupt politicians who must be investigated and punished if guilty.

Any attempt to BLOCK investigating an ALLEGED criminal event in a foreign country by an American citizen sounds mighty POLITICAL to me!

Is Mitt trying to position himself as VP for Biden?
