[W]hen I asked Romney, in the spring, what a Trump reelection would mean for him and his family, he was careful at first. “I don’t know the answer to that,” he said. If Trump tried to sic the Justice Department on him, Romney told me, "the good news is I haven’t had an affair with anybody; I don’t have any classified documents; I can’t imagine something I’ve done that would justify an investigation, let alone an indictment.
What about his sons? I asked. Might they be targeted?
“I mean, hopefully they’ve all crossed their t ’s and dotted their i ’s,” Romney replied, straining to sound casual. “But it’s hard for me to imagine that President Trump would take the time to go out and see if [he] can find something on members of my family.”
“You might need to expand your imagination,” I suggested.
Romney grew irritated.
Honestly, it doesn’t sound like Romney was scared until this interviewer kept pushing the idea that he should be. And even then, it sounds like he was more irritated by the question than scared.
