Sens. Mitt Romney and Pat Toomey condemned President Donald Trump’s decision to commute the prison sentence of his longtime confidant Roger Stone — the first elected Republicans to denounce the president’s Friday night move.
“While I understand the frustration with the badly flawed Russia-collusion investigation, in my view, commuting Roger Stone’s sentence is a mistake,” Toomey said. “He was duly convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstruction a congressional investigation conducted by a Republican-led committee.”
Barr previously intervened in the Stone case to urge a more lenient sentence for Stone after prosecutors initially asked for seven to nine years behind bars. At the time, Barr expressed rare frustration with Trump, saying that the president’s public comments on Justice Department cases, including Stone’s, was making his job more difficult.
Open corruption, yet our powerless judiciary system fails the American people again
They will turn on him soon
Puhleease!! After the crime spree that occurred from 2009 - 2016, this is nothing. obamagate
To think that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio wanted to become president. Today, they are totally silent about Trump's corruption and frauds.
His done
It’s only historic if you ignore the history of Presidential pardons. For instance, Bush pardoned his Iran-Contra cronies & Clinton pardoned his brother & his partner in Whitewater. Sending a senior with health problems to jail during a pandemic is crazy. Any senior.
But it is not historic at all. It is very common.
I'd like to see MittRomney have a place in the JoeBiden administration TrumpKnewAboutRussianBounty
“While I understand the frustration with the badly flawed Russia-collusion investigation' How is that a condemnation?
Toomey called it a mistake, did not condemn.
No, they didn't. They offered a bit of tepid criticism. Just because they're less cowardly and scummy than McConnell doesn't mean they're not cowards and scumbags
Jfc condemmed. Romney could have been eating an olive loaf sandwich with that much contempt.
Thank God to know there are sane Republicans who are not red shields with their heads up Bony's ass. Bony always projects about the conspiratorially Deep State. God help us, it's his.
It was some historic tweeting.. They didn’t do shit.
Good start! Now how do we get to Donald Impeached, Convicted and removed from office?
MittRomney stood up before when it counted, but PAGOP SenToomey is a cynical opportunist who will say anything/believes in NOTHING. PADems PaHouseDems PaSenateDems PAHouseGOP PASenateGOP Toomey A man of NO Straight lines, everything is an angle.
SenatorRomney again shows he is a patriot. I also was happy that SenToomey said something, albeit he should have been more forceful. I have been very disappointed that Toomey, who knows better, has been mainly an enabler of Trump.
That’s because the are DemocRATs. Both need to be kicked out of the party.
Calling Toomey’s statement a condemnation is a stretch.
Did SenatorRomney jump parties and forget to notify the state party that voted him in?
Good. Where's the rest of the GOP?
Mitt is a Democrat in Republican cloths what a traitor
Looks like Mitt’s job is in good shape. All these other Republicans need to get to work.
Way to go, Mitt
Mitt Romney reminds me a bit of John McCain., I believe if anyone knows something is wrong we should all speak up! I notice that many Republicans senators are losing their seats in the WH because they side with Trump’s wrong doings and it’s very wrong of them to do this!VoteBlue
Romney voted correctly, how about Toomey?
Does he see the writing on the wall? PA isn't totally redneck territory. He finally did something right. Can he go for a second good move?
Romney shows some spunk.
MittRomney SenToomey I wonder if you 2 see the hypocrisy in that you convict people of “lying” to congress but Members of Congress routinely lie as a matter of course. Oh and the pardon and commutation power is a Constitutional power. It can not be corrupt. It can be ill used..
well good - 2. now the rest of you GOPSenators

To o POS
How about the other side you idiots are you ok with what they tried to do to the duly elected president
.SenToomey is an unethical hypocrite. Where was he when it was time to vote the same corrupt Trump guilty during his impeachment trial? (probably wandering around somewhere, trying to find his spine and his balls). Hopefully the people of PA will vote this creep out in 2022.
Mitt lacks character, and doesn’t understand the concept of loyalty to friends. Stone is a BS artist and white collar doofus. Not a felon worthy of a SWAT team. Mitt acts like a self righteous smarmy toad
Yeah. Nobody gives a rip what Romney thinks
They’re Democrats, so what
Restrict Presidential power to define and execute justice.
...2, oh no, the sky is falling!
Romneys no Republican.
Problem is its neither of their decisions and their mouths should be stapeled
I am so proud of Senator Toomey! He has my vote again
Wow. TWO!
Romney lost his rights to condemn anything, after marching with the Marxist group BLM.
He's not a Republican you A H
Well pat Tommy low level denouncing was weak
So...who cares what they say...
Enemies of America
Historic corruption is that only 2 Congressional Republicans have spoken out. GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPCorruptionOverCountry
jenhen441 Well PatToomey has less than 2 years left in office. He’s a sure loser in 2022 re-election. Especially now that solid blue PA have been awoken. They won’t be caught sharing power with republicans even if small, broke counties support him!
Lol....Chelsea Manning...who pardoned that leaking traitor? Oh yes Obama did. I didn't like it but that was his right as President. What's good for the goose...
They sit silent while terrorist, bombers & triators run rampage in our government but get upset over a pardon given to a citizen that was hounded , set up & prosecuted by those triators. Tell me they are not sick & depraved.
President Obama did more than that . Where were you ?
Lol.....PierreDelecto
Some people have balls.
Romney and Toomey are a couple of back stabbing Republicans. They should switch parties. As for sleepy Joe he forgets the his boss President Obama Commuted or released more people in a single day than the past 13 Presidents
Who’s Romney ? 🤣
Can we talk about Senators only passing Bills,when bribed by lobbyists? Can we get HealthCare, pharmaceuticals, made in USA, for All. Remove Insurance Co., from Equation, who Bribe Senators, to remain?Can we Bring Jobs, Co’s Back from China? As a Matter of National Security?
Romney is an inconsequential Republican that can never be President.
👏👏👏
Obama performed 1900 clemencies but there was no witch hunt against him. Defeated presidential candidate Romney is jealous of victorious President Trump. Loser Romney is not a loyal republican.
SenToomey will flip-flop on this as always.
Ah yes, good ole MittRomney doing the barest of minimums whenever possible.
Reminder Senator Mitt Romney also spoke out when the Mueller report was released. Romney: I Am ‘Sickened’ by ‘Dishonesty’ of Trump Outlined in Mueller Report ValuesMatter
RockySly9 Don’t give 2 shits what MittRomney has to say or thinks! He’s a traitor!
How pathetic are Susa and Lisa
cmerfy Finally some Republicans with some common sense, but they should be careful. The wannabe king will be gunning for them next!!
Wait, wait .... just wait a minute. Two Senators condemn the pardon of someone convicted of lying to Congress and we consider this NEWS!!! RepublicansForBiden because this madness must end!
They are complete tools and political puppets. I hope you clarified that in your tabloid op-Ed piece
Shut up mitt. You done.
Mitt marched proudly with BLM. BLM seeks disruption of the American nuclear family. Does Mitt support the disruption of the American nuclear family? His silence on this matter is deafening...
John McCain did worst against Trump and God took him out ...Romney should go and study the bible and let him see what God did to traitors and haters of Israel...a word is enough for the wise
Mitt Romney has more backbone that the sum total of the GOP. GOPCowards
Sadly, too little, too late.
Republicans have no use for either of these show clowns.
Hope they won't be re elected.
Well if the Senate had done their job in the first place, he'd be removed from office. No pardons!
SenToomey RonJohnsonWI SenatorBurr must be defeated in 2022. Expressing timid concern out of reelection fears is not country first leadership. ProjectLincoln TheRickWilson
Vote!
tstraus68 What does Barr have to say
Two Republicans won't make a bit of difference.
mazet “Condemned”
Only two.... that’s just nuts!!
Toomey did not condemn the commutation. Calling it a 'mistake' is not condemnation. It's more a tsk tsk.
Romney really should come out of the closet......, Democrat that he is.
The R abandonment has begun. Next it will start ebbing away. Soon it will become an avalanche. It's only a matter of time.
Republican in name only.
Good for them - patriots
So great some sanity still exists!!
No one gives two cents for Worthless Mitt Romney ot his opinion. Utah can have what they voted for! Lol! No fixing stupid
Great Move for what is right in this world
I could car less what this weasel says. A Mormon that carries a grudge. Hypocrisy.
Mr Romney is a real Good person, truthful and right on with this move. Roger Stone should still be in jail and stay there. Thank you, Mr. Romney for not being too weak to stand for what is right!
...the spray of the swampy seas, perhaps, has struck them in the face.......
ONE FUCKING HONEST REPUBLICAN IN THE WHOLE USA. I applaud you Mitt Romney. I am in Michigan and knew your dad.
Really PatToomey? Remember the names commercial from ProjectLincoln? You’ll be voted out too for your great impeachment vote. Remember that.
Historic corruption? Try these 2 words “Marc Rich”.
Romney is the biggest loser perhaps of all time
Corrupted cowards!
MittRomney is the only Republican who will go down in history with integrity.
Of course he did...he has nothing else to talk about
Good!
