"I just don't think there is the full element you need to prove an obstruction of justice case," says Sen. @MittRomney on the Mueller report.— CNN (@CNN) May 19, 2019
He says he was "troubled" by the report but doesn't think "impeachment is the right way to go.” #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/vXjkgdNgRb
Yep - poor, poor Mittens. He's the only man on the planet who is perpetually caught between his innate desire to both shit and get off the pot. Sadly, Mitt's affliction is usually on display when it comes to matters of individual courage and honesty. Here, as you can see, he simply is incapable of seeing the clear state of affairs as it relates to the question of whether Drumpf willfully acted to obstruct the Mueller probe.
Umm, here's the thing though - The Gadfly hates to be the bearer of disturbing news Senator, but you may want to have a chat with the over 800 (probably more by now) former U.S. federal prosecutors, from both Republican and Democrat administrations, who have signed a joint letter stating unequivocally that:
"The conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice."

Mitt Romney can dance and equivocate all he wants by employing argle-bargle terms like "full element" to mask his own fear over the prospect of having to take a definitive, principled stand on whether the current occupant of the American people's White House is, or is not, a criminal, and whether he is the ONLY American citizen who is NOT bound by our American laws or constitution.
But that is a whole helluva fucking lot of former, very high level, respected and respectable law enforcement/legal people, from both party's past administrations, who are stating that in their collective view, Donald Trump has committed "multiple felonies" and has obstructed justice.
Mitt Romney actually knows it too - he's not really that dumb. The Mittster just quite simply has yet to find that inner courage to stand up and affirm his own belief in the principle that no one man is above the law in this country - and most certainly not Donald Trump. Keep trying Mittens . . . even blind squirrels find the occasional nut.
