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.
And, frankly, the country doesn’t want to have to go through prosecuting a former president.
Yes, we do. We really, really do.
You’re not part of “the country” he’s talking about. He means the elites
Frankly, the country shouldn’t listen to people who wear magic underwear, yet here you are.
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.
No, the corruption must end and Trump must be made an example off.
Ever since Tricky Dicky and watergate, the politicians haven’t felt they can do get away with anything. It must stop!
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.
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…
Mitt Romney should shut the fuck up.
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.
Romney believes that if he folds like Chamberlain, that Republicans can control Trump. Chamberlain was wrong, and so is Romney.
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.
Yes, we do want the rich and politicians to be held accountable.
I wonder why a rich politician would say such a thing.
I don’t give 47% of a shit what Mittens the Car Topper Dog has to say.
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.
This wouldn’t fly with them if tables were turned. What is he even going on about? This is so disconnected. #LifeBeforeRegunz
A spineless twat would say such a thing.
So if a pardon is appropriate, doesn’t that mean presidents don’t enjoy immunity?
Excellent point. And pardons are only given after the legal system concluded someone is given. Mitt is advocating for executive interference over judicial processes.
