The line in the Kris Kristofferson song comes to mind.
"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose." Perhaps
anticipating retirement was the door to freedom. It will be interesting to see
what other price he may have to pay as the vindictiveness is likely to be
vicious. I am also reminded of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was safely in the US
when the Nazi regime was becoming most aggressive. He was encouraged to stay in
the US until after they collapse of the Reich, but he chose to return to
Germany saying that if he didn't participate in the struggle he would have no
right to participate in the rebuilding. So perhaps Romney is willing to
sacrifice himself in the short-term to have something to contribute to
rebuilding after the inevitable collapse.
