Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told Fox News' Chris Wallace Wednesday in an exclusive interview that he "had to follow my conscience" in deciding to vote to convict President Trump on abuse of power, a decision that's likely to lead to serious blowback from Trump and others in the Republican Party.
"I believe that the act he took, an effort to corrupt an election is as destructive an attack on the oath of office and our Constitution as I can imagine," Romney said. "It is a high crime and misdemeanor within the meaning of the Constitution, and that is not a decision I take lightly. It is the last decision I want to take."

Maybe because Mitt Romney's foreign policy adviser Cofer Black is on Burisma's board just like Hunter Biden.
Romney may be mentally ill!!
Hey Mittsters - I heard you for two minutes invoke ‘my God’ and following what is ‘right before my God’. I’ll leave aside the moment of what god you speak.
What about bearing false witness, flat-out lying, imbalance of scales, corruption and graft. MY God of the Bible spoke VERY clearly about those things and somehow YOU WANT TO IGNORE THAT!
As false and phony as it comes.
Today I’d shed more tears if Chelsea Clinton died in a fire than one of Romney’s kids.
He is a despicable piece of s#it.
No. This tells us all we need to know about the real Romney.
if a potential opponent betrays America's true interests, a sitting President commits a crime, if he goes after that opponent on the subject of that betrayal!
Preposterous to be sure; but how else can Mitt justify seeking to suppress the President's ability to deal with the betrayal of America's interest.
The rational priority is to deal with the improper misuse of political influence. The fact that the miss-user (here Biden) is also a potential political opponent, does not change that priority.
I believe Mitt Romney is preparing to be a one term Senator. He knows he doesn’t have a future with Republicans.
he was unable to get elected Prez as a Republican
He will try again as a Dem
“”I believe that the act he took, an effort to corrupt an election is as destructive an attack on the oath of office and our Constitution as I can imagine,” Romney said. “It is a high crime and misdemeanor within the meaning of the Constitution, and that is not a decision I take lightly. It is the last decision I want to take.””
Either a pathological liar or demented.
Possibly both.
Invoking God to justify his perfidy. What a loser.
No. This is just Mitt being Mitt.
He's intensely jealous of Trump and thinks that he should be President instead. He's the "Man on the White Horse" of Mormon mythology, come to save America in its time of greatest peril.
Pierre wants more attention.
The most devastating consequence will come when President Trump pays no attention to Pierre.
Nope, no dirt needed. Remember Romney's press conference speech re: how awful Trump was in 2016. Trump wins, lures Romney to Trump Tower to dangle SECSTATE in front of him, a job I assume Romney hadn't a prayer of actually getting. Now Romney gets some revenge for the minor humiliation.
He has one? That’s news to me.
Can’t recall federally elected officials.

Fewer people know that than know what natural born citizen means.
Mitt would be the perfect running mate for Bloomberg
Mittens needs to get his ash physically kicked. It would do him good— I sincerely mean it.
Ther won’t be any consequences and he’ll be re-elected by Utah. Sad but that’s the case
