NEW: Senate Republicans shut down calls to investigate DOJ’s Roger Stone reversal — but they say Trump shouldn’t be commenting on the case like he has been on Twitter.

politico.com/news/2020/02/1…
“I don’t think he should be commenting on cases in the system. I don’t think that’s appropriate,” Graham told reporters.

Kennedy said Trump’s tweets “aggravated the situation.”

“I wish he’d tweet less, but that’s not gonna happen.”

Senate Republicans said they trusted Judge Amy Berman Jackson to resolve the issue when she decides on a sentence for Stone.

Romney: “I have confidence in the third branch of our government to act outside the world of politics and to do what is right.”

NEW: Mitt Romney could derail a Senate subpoena for records related to Hunter Biden and Burisma, hinting today he could vote against it next week. One GOP “no” vote in committee means the subpoena fails.

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
“There’s no question the appearance is not good,” Romney said when asked about Trump’s intention to use it against Biden in the general election.

“I would prefer that investigations are done by an independent, nonpolitical body.”

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
Rob Portman is also a possible swing vote. But a source familiar with the matter says he’s leaning toward supporting the subpoena. Johnson has told colleagues that his effort is aimed simply at gathering information.

After a scathing McConnell speech haranguing Schumer for his comments yesterday, Schumer says: “I should not have used the words I used yesterday. They did not come out the way I intended to.”

“I’m from Brooklyn. We use strong language.”

Says he wasn’t making a threat.
McConnell didn’t hold back —

“As long as this majority holds the gavel, we will never let the minority leader’s dangerous views become policy,” McConnell said. “This majority will ensure the only casualties of this recklessness are the reputations of those who engage in it.”
After doubling down, Schumer walks back his comments about Gorsuch and Kavanaugh that prompted a rare rebuke from John Roberts — and McConnell piles on.

New: Senate Republicans offer tepid praise for Ratcliffe, with none ruling out supporting him. Instead, they’re just happy Trump intends to nominate a permanent replacement. And for that reason, round two could be easier for Ratcliffe.

w/ @marianne_levine
politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
@marianne_levine ... and in many ways, a repeat of what we saw last year:

Mitt Romney: “I know very little about Congressman Ratcliffe. I will be looking into his background and record.”

Lamar Alexander: “I don’t know him, so I don’t have an opinion on that yet.”

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
@marianne_levine Rubio also suggests Grenell makes it easier for Ratcliffe’s nom: “He still holds the post in Germany, which eventually he either has to get back to or we’re going to have to put somebody else. You can’t have that post vacant. And you can’t do both jobs.” politico.com/news/2020/03/0…

NEW: Republicans are leaning hard into their Burisma probe just hours after BIDEN surged to the front of the Democratic primary pack.

Democrats bracing for an all-out assault are calling it Kremlin disinformation.

@martinmatishak

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
@AndrewDesiderio @martinmatishak Democrats won't say whether they ever got confirmation that Russians hacked Burisma, as a third-party security firm suggested in January.

But they're expecting a deluge of Burisma attacks on Biden that were widely discredited by impeachment testimony.

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
@AndrewDesiderio @martinmatishak Senate GOP insists the timing of their probe has nothing to do with Biden's candidacy.

Yet Sen. Johnson announced a Burisma-related subpoena vote on Sunday (after Biden won SC) and an interim report today (after Super Tuesday put Biden back on top).
