New - Romney to back subpoena in Burisma probe, allowing it to advance. “Senator Romney has expressed his concerns to Chairman Johnson, who has confirmed that any interview of the witness would occur in a closed setting without a hearing or public spectacle," spox says

You had me, and you lost me, Mittens.

9. The law of consecration is scary as well

From the temple ceremony:

THE LAW OF CONSECRATION

PETER: A couple will now come to the altar (The Witness couple comes forward, and kneels at the altar as before.) We are instructed to give unto you the Law of Consecration as contained in the book of Doctrine and Covenants (The Officiator picks up a copy of the Doctrine and Covenants from the altar, and holds it up in view of all patrons.), in connection with the Law of the Gospel and the Law of Sacrifice which you have already received. It is that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.

Nothing like swearing total alegance....

5. Just today a DUer asked if Biden should ask Romney to be his running mate

Did anyone here really think Mittens Romney would be anything other than a republican't?

Seriously they can never be trusted, even if they do the right thing once in a blue moon.

6. He probably now regrets that vote

7. I'm sure you are correct about that

He is full of regrets and he should be. Jesus is watching him pretty closely, and Jesus is not happy with Mittens!

8. I wonder if anyone realizes this

If its "closed door", then the Republicans on the committee can then mis-characterize what was said or outright lie about it. You know, they walk out to the cameras and start making comments about "...being very concerned" or that what they heard was "...troubling..". This not only changes anything, it makes the whole thing even worse from one perspective. And what if Trump then abuses his authority and classifies the hearing, preventing the witness from correcting the record?

10. He's still mad at Joe for wiping up his running mate in the debate

a few years back. Everyone was laughing at Paul Ryan the next day after Joe handily won that one, and it made the ticket look weak.
