After criticizing the Senate investigation into Burisma and Hunter Biden, Romney has agreed to vote for a subpoena of a former Burisma consultant:
POLITICO – Sen. Mitt Romney will vote in favor of a subpoena seeking records about the work Joe Biden’s son Hunter did for the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, a spokeswoman for the Utah Republican said on Friday.
Romney’s decision comes after several days of expressing dismay over the Senate Homeland Security Committee’s investigation targeting the Bidens, even suggesting on Thursday that the panel shouldn’t even be looking into the issue.
Romney apparently wanted to make sure this didn’t become a public spectacle:
But after securing certain commitments from the committee’s chairman, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Romney has decided to support the subpoena when the panel votes on it next Wednesday — all but ensuring it will be issued.
“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,” Romney’s spokeswoman Liz Johnson said. “He will therefore vote to let the chairman proceed to obtain the documents that have been offered.”
I’ve got no issue with the Senate doing their investigation this way as long as we get to the truth of what happened and they eventually release their findings to the public. Everyone wants to know if Quid Pro Joe used US aid to get that prosecutor fired to help his son and Burisma, and just how much money they made in the process. That’s all we want to know.
