Romney: Trump ‘brought these charges upon himself’
The Hill ^ | 06/09/2023 | JULIA SHAPERO

Posted on 06/09/2023 8:28:06 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said on Friday that Donald Trump had “brought these charges upon himself” after the former president was notified of his indictment in an investigation into his handling of classified materials.

“Mr. Trump brought these charges upon himself by not only taking classified documents, but by refusing to simply return them when given numerous opportunities to do so,” Romney said in a statement.

The former Republican presidential candidate acknowledged that Trump is “entitled to the presumption of innocence” and that the government is faced with “the burden of proving its charges beyond a reasonable doubt.”

However, he added, “By all appearances, the Justice Department and special counsel have exercised due care, affording Mr. Trump the time and opportunity to avoid charges that would not generally have been afforded to others.”

By trying to save the American people from being stomped by the World Order.

I don't know which vote I regret more--McShame or Mittens--then again what choice did we have other than not vote.

To misquote Henry II, “Will no one rid us of this turbulent Mormon?”

Just an observation, we don’t know the details of the indictment yet.

Considering that, him saying that Trump brought this on himself, by not returning classified documents, is an ignorant comment on his part.

Trump would not have been indicted, if the only issue here was where documents were located, and the issue was transporting documents off his property.

Romney doesn’t know what the heck he is talking about.

“He brought these charges upon himself by having the nerve to actually run and WIN,” Romney said. “Any Republican who dares to actually take the fight to the Democrats deserves to be sent to prison for the rest of their life. He should have lost like I did.”

Romney has never been smart enough to make the $$ he has without thievery.
