Yes, the difference is trump [arguably] broke the law going after biden while romney [arguably] upheld it.
If he did take paper clips he’d be an omer muttar… besides, is there a chiyuv livdok?
but all that is “agav churfei ta’ah”. Its irrelevant. The point is romney consistently is upstanding, even here, v’horaya, he could of voted against Trump regarding both articles, so ‘migu’….
but all that isnt nogei’a either cause he’s a soneh and cant be dayan or aid.
Now that we got that outta the way, the fact remains, that it is not possible to know his motivation. Therefore 1) it may have been honest.
2) even if it wasnt, romneys response was, as you pointed out, no different than trumps to biden, coupled with the fact that trump went after romney before for no good reason. Therefore i still consider romney upstanding, if this is a fault, its a pretty good fault.
BTW, I dont agree with romney, i dont think trump should be impeached, yet neither do i need to prescribe banality to romney for voting the way he did
