I’m not going to bash him as I’m certainly in no position to judge someone’s relationship with God and Romney said he gave it much thought and prayer. My issue is I don’t see how he can say more witnesses are needed yet vote to convict unless he started from an assumption that Trump was guilty. I know the Dems did the same thing but that’s no surprise. Romney isn’t really either but with him being a registered Republican I was hoping that he would assume Trump’s innocence until proven otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt and that doesn’t appear to be the case.You guys bashing Romney for doing what he thought was right are good little Trumpsters. He will be delighted at how you tow the line and are blindly loyal to his highness.
Personally, I appreciate the veiled insults in your post more than love, kindness, civility, and beauty. A+, well done.PSA (Directed at those who spend what appears to be their entire day posting solely in threads that pertain to President Trump):
If you get out and spend some time in our country, turn off CNN, talk to blue-collar workers and business owners, or check our financial indices, you might discover that the USA is doing quite well and people are generally happy. There's no civil war about to erupt. There is actually all sorts of love, kindness, civility, and beauty to appreciate.
I mean it in the nicest possible manner, but it's over. Let it go. Seek positivity.
I know what you’ve been doing. Slice indicated it also. You’re just trolling. You don’t believe this was bipartisan any more than I do. You’re just stirring.
you may have no doubt but there is evidence to the contrary - sworn testimony from multiple witnesses
Lol. Sure thing in order for you to push this as bipartisan you’re either trolling or way dumber than I’ve given you credit for. Up to you whichever you choseIt was really sweet of you to feign your usual hyper-aggressive ignorance and keep telling me how wrong “my position” was, right up until your very last post, just to prolong my enjoyment.
If you are talking about Kurt Volker...you may have no doubt but there is evidence to the contrary - sworn testimony from multiple witnesses
If you are talking about Kurt Volker...

Trump impeachment witness admits Ukraine knew military aid was withheld during push for Biden investigation
An impeachment witness called by Republicans has suggested he now understands Donald Trump was using military aid to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden's son.
Kurt Volker, the former US special envoy to Ukraine, also admitted that the country would have known military aid was being withheld as the Trump administration pushed for an investigation into the Bidens.
Mr. Volker said new information from the impeachment inquiry had forced him to reconsider his interpretation of Mr. Trump's Ukraine policy.
"I have learned many things that I did not know at the time of the events in question," he said on Tuesday.
"I did not know of any linkage between the hold on security assistance and Ukraine pursuing investigations. No one had ever said that to me - and I never conveyed such a linkage to the Ukrainians," he continued.
He also acknowledged the link between investigating the Burisma and targeting the Bidens, adding: "In retrospect, I should have seen that connection differently, and had I done so, I would have raised my own objections."
Can you read that article? What Volker testified to was based on incomplete information. He has information now that he did not have then and he admits it. You can't attest to what someone else doesn't know. You can only attest to what you have told them.None of that says "when" they knew; much less say it was in July. Multiple witnesses testified Ukraine did not know until a Politico article came out (believe it was Politico).
