Sen. Mitt Romney joins Democrats' criticism of Trump's Roger Stone commutation

Democrats and Sen. Romney denounced the Stone commutation. But permitting an elderly non-violent offender to avoid incarceration in the middle of a deadly viral pandemic is hardly a miscarriage of justice. Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president. — Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) July 11, 2020 We wish the Justice Department and President Trump had done more to commute sentences during this time, when tens of thousands of state and federal inmates have been infected with COVID and hundreds have died.

Ich glaube, wir sind gerade in der Zeit bis 2016 zurückgekehrt. So fühlt es sich zumindest an. Gestern, am ersten Tag des Jahres 2019, hat Mitt Romney Trump wegen eines Mangels an Präsidentschaftskandidaten in der Washington Post besiegt. Er sagte, als neuer Senator von Utah werde er sich nicht zurückhalten, wenn es gegen Trump geht Aussagen sind "spaltend, rassistisch, sexistisch, antiimmigrant, unehrlich oder zerstörerisch für demokratische Institutionen". Er beschuldigte Trump auch, "nicht zum Mantel des Amtes" aufgestanden zu sein. Hier ist mehr zu diesem Thema: NY POST  – “It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination,” Romney wrote in the piece. “After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not.” The 2012 Republican presidential candidate said that Trump’s role in the Oval Office is to “demonstrate the essential qualities of honesty an...
