ROMNEY says Ron Johnson's Biden investigation is a "political exercise."
Romney's comments followed Johnson decision to withdraw a proposed subpoena vote for Ambassador Bridget Brink in connection with his Burisma investigation.

Romney would have opposed that vote, dooming it to a 7-7tie.
ROMNEY cited "recent comments in the media," a clear reference to Johnson's public statements about his report damaging Joe Biden's election chances.

He said that last month and reiterated it this week: politico.com/news/2020/08/1…
Important thing about the subpoenas that Romney *did* support:

Sen. Johnson now has unilateral authority to subpoena Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, Stefan Halper and others at any time. politico.com/news/2020/09/1…

BREAKING: Comey case dismissed without prejudice. Halligan invalidly appointed, judge rules. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
This applies to the Letitia James indictment as well. Both cases are now dismissed without prejudice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
NEWS: The criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James are gone. A federal judge ruled that the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the lead prosecutor was illegal.

DOJ could try again, but there are other headwinds.

Judge Stephanie Gallagher, a Trump appointee in MD, says the administration flagrantly and repeatedly defied her orders to provide regular updates about the man’s return. But she stops short of finding contempt bc it was Rubio, who isn’t named in the lawsuit, who was responsible for communicating w El Salvador

BREAKING: Prosecutors in the Comey case just told the judge that they’re under orders from the Deputy Attorney Generals’s office not to disclose whether career prosecutors wrote a memo recommending *against* indicting Comey prior to Halligan going to the grand jury.
AUSA Tyler Lemons told Judge Nachmanoff that he hasn’t gotten permission to disclose what could be considered “privileged” or “work product” material. He did say he asked to review and possible declination memo and has seen “drafts.”
NEW: The prosecution of James Comey is hanging by a thread, besieged on all sides by challenges to the legitimacy of the prosecutor, the grand jury process and the motives for bringing the case in the first place.

@andrewjfhoward @joshgerstein The court also sharply rejected the notion that its ruling would disrupt the midterms. The filing deadline hasn't passed, the judges say, and if anyone is to blame, it's the state for operating on a rushed timeline. politico.com/news/2025/11/1…Image

MORE: The magistrate said an FBI agent who may have viewed Comey's privileged materials was nevertheless permitted to present evidence to the grand jury — a "highly irregular" decision and "radical departure" for DOJ. He was the only witness at the GJ. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
