Sen. Mitt Romney said Monday that he wants to hear from John Bolton after the former national security adviser offered to testify in the Senate’s impeachment trial.
“Of course,” said the Utah Republican when asked if he wants Bolton to testify. “He has firsthand information and, assuming that articles of impeachment reach the Senate, I’d like to hear what he has to say.”Romney, however, stopped short of supporting Democratic demands to decide on bringing in Bolton and other witnesses at the start of the trial as opposed to during the trial after opening arguments are delivered.“I don’t know what the process will be like, but time will tell,” Romney said.
Bolton surprised lawmakers on Monday when he said he would testify if subpoenaed during the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump — a win for Senate Democrats, who want to hear from him and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, among others. Democrats also want to subpoena documents related to the Ukraine scandal.
Republican senator Martha McSally of Arizona declined to comment while Sen. Cory Gardner asked when Speaker Nancy Pelosi would send the articles of impeachment to the Senate. “Is Nancy going to send the articles over? She doesn’t seem to care?” Gardner said when asked about Bolton as witnesses. "You guys want to have a trial by Twitter but until she has the articles sent over there is no trial.”
A punch in the gut of American democracy.
Your nobody and who cares what you want.
Mitt Romney is a low life senator that goes with the wind who ever is on top he is for
WE SHLD HESR FRM ALL 4 IF THEM❗️🤷🏽♂️
He's a chicken shit just like all of them.
We ask our politicians & leaders to put 'playing game of politics' aside & focus on the main issues like the 'terrorists threats' witch we facing today. Obama's policy of compromising with terrorist states, instead of fighting them, to install peace proven to be wrong.
avgusergirl Mittens should go home.
Romney really digging into this gormless worm role.
SoffiaFF All of the SenateGOP are partisan hacks with no concern for our democracy and the rule of law. We need to FlipTheSenate! Support ShuttleCDRKelly AmyMcGrathKY harrisonjaime mjhegar GreenfieldIowa SaraGideon CalforNC BarbaraBollier
Why in the world wouldn't a person want to hear all the evidence?
Batshit crazy! Bolton and Romney!
Turn that single into a grand slam and we got something.
LetsHearFromBolton
See this is where Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins need to step it up. I did not know this. So if Romney, Collins, Murkorwski vote for subpoena that's three Republicans. But one more is needed.
Gutless shitsack.
MittRomney is still bitter because realDonaldTrump punked him over the Secretary of State gig. It was brutal.
I don’t trust the Chicken Hawk or his frog leg sucking counterpart THEORANGECULT
SenSchumer You are absolutely right, Senator. I hope the trial in the senate follows your format. The American people are owed a fair, thorough, and impartial trial. (cc: senatemajldr, GOP, DNC, SenatorRomney, JohnCornyn, SenTedCruz, AmyMcGrathKY, POTUS, VP)
You have to excuse me but in the past three bazzaro years Romney is making sense
Someone please subpoena Bolton!!!
Screw Romney
Then take this to the courts and have them determine if this veil can be pierced .... that is how this works .. if the courts rule the infamous privileges the that point is over ..,
Mitt, Sit down
Loser
Washington Examiner does s better job of reporting this story than Politico.
Would be nice if MittRomney BitchAss Would Man Up and have a press conference to let everyone know he's 100% Committed to have Bolton and other witnesses testify in the Senate...Fuck senatemajldr you don't answer to him or Trump
🙌🏻 SenatorRomney
MittRomney Go get 'em.
So what?
Why not? Let him speak.
Did it occur to anybody that if we’d have elected Romney in 2012 he could be potentially in a second term now and we’d probably be in a much better place?
MittRomney, you have an opportunity in this trial to do, perhaps, more good than would've been possible under a Romney presidency. I hope that you will do the right thing, and do your best to assuage your colleagues to do the same.
1. Romney can’t be trusted 2. Romney is not enough
So why the vote not to get articles? Our democratic republic is gone.
why doesn't he just meet him in his senate office? Why all the grandstanding and virtue signaling?
Only need 3 gop to say yes tp hear from wotnesses and gram cracker will have to fold to it due to lacking a majority after the net loss.
Don’t believe Romney. He’s acting
On Bolton's terms?
Romney rally..
One old rhino speaking up for another.
mindyfinn Romney movement is good
realDonaldTrump Hey Hey Ho Ho Rino MittRomney Must Go!
imcosta1 I can hear it already: “I have no recollection of having ever used the phrase “drug deal”; indeed, at no time did I have any knowledge of any attempt to hold arms shipments to Ukraine.”
Why? So the Dems can make a mockery of of this impeachment nonsense like they have been doing from the get go. The dems railroaded it in, why would anybody in their 'right mind' believe the Dems will do any different. It's no different then the Russian Collusion Witch Hunt.....
Way to go MittRomney make it happen I have faith in you
fineout Yawn...
Besides any partisanship, sticking with the facts helps building strong public opinion on such critical matters of NationalSecurity. Your move may have a lot more to reveal over other areas of a broader stance including but not limited to Iran, IF CONFIRMED by the Senate.
.marcorubio better get ya’ boy. He’s gonna ruin the whole cover up and fake investigation.
Wants only a trump basher!
Thank you, sir!
Then make it happen, Willard.
MittRomney is just another hot air bag along with RandPaul SenatorCollins lisamurkowski they all talk the talk but when needed never walk the walk. VoteThemAllOut Useless
Lunatic Mitt, king of the never trumpers.
This’s big.
Thank you Mitt! 3 more Republican Senators needed!
LMarieVResists I'd like to hear him as well, but I think it'll be too much like having Dave Berkowitz claiming Ted Bundy's a bad hombre if he even has the balls to do that. RE: Entire administration and fired administration: 'Not a bunch of angels' (as Trump might tweetdrool) ZeroCredibilty
It’s a fake trial just like you
Thank you MittRomney I would also like to hear, but you and others could make it happen.
Does Mitt really matter ? Nope
What about the others?
No he doesn't... He is just like the rest in the GOP.
Me too- but McConnell will never let it happen
Its not up and Romney ! The guy is a loser
Mitt is just another two face politician.
WalshFreedom just got a woody! 😮
He doesn’t get credit for just saying it, he needs to to make it happen. If the former nominee of his party isn’t respected enough to convince 3 others to join him then he’s ineffective & weak.
jonfavs jonlovett TVietor08 brhodes danpfeiffer One down...
I want Romney to go back to Massachusetts...........
Mittens said that? No way!
Senator Collins to issue a vague statement re: being uncomfortable.
Romney, please ask him why he didn’t testify during the house impeachment hearings
Out loud or whispered in his own ear?
That’s one.
