Mitt Romney on the Mueller report: 'Really, really troubling,’ but Americans ‘just aren’t there’ on impeachment
"It's a courageous statement," Romney said on CNN's"State of the Union" of Amash's statement, which appears to be the first instance of a Republican member of Congress calling for impeachment. But he cautioned:"The American people just aren't there." He added that the Senate also wasn't there.
"I just don't think that there is the full element that you'd need to prove an obstruction of justice case," Romney said."I don't think a prosecutor would actually look at this and say, 'OK, we have here all the elements that would get this to a conviction.' So everyone reaches their own conclusion. As I read the report, I was troubled by it. It was very disappointing for a number of reasons.
"I think a number of the things that were done were really, really troubling, and unfortunate, and distressing," the Utah senator replied."Clearly, the number of times that there were items of dishonesty misleading the American public and the media, those are things that you would not want to see from the highest office in the land."
“Here’s what I know: Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University,” Romney said then. “He’s playing the members of the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.”
