There is a 20% chance Senate Republicans would be inclined to vote to impeach and remove President Donald Trump, a Republican source told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.
Wallace told White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney during an interview Sunday that there seems to be some Republicans who, "if not breaking with the president – distancing themselves from the president."
"I talked to a very well-connected Republican in Washington this week," Wallace added.
"Somebody whose name you would know well, who says, that 'if the House votes to impeach and it gets to a trial in the Senate, there is now a 20% chance,' he believes – obviously it's just an estimate – now a 20% chance enough Republicans will vote with the Democrats to remove the president."
Mulvaney called the speculation "absurd."
"This comment about a 20% chance this person clearly doesn't know what they're talking about," Mulvaney said.
Mulvaney pointed to President Trump's unpopular move with Republicans on a troop withdrawal in Syria, suggesting they might bend on support for the president but they will not break because "eventually they have to go back home" to their Trump-supporting districts.
Fox News' Wallace has been famously anti-Trump, slamming his colleagues for supporting the president of the United States and reportedly attacking and mocking the president in private.

Just as Hillary dreams of Russian agents, Never Trumpers dream of impeachment. There is a name for that: Pipe Dream
Whether it will happen is not the issue. The point is that if they pretend the Senate might decide to convict then they might be able to persuade the Dems to impeach.
GOP senators know that approval to remove Donald Trump from office would be suicide for them and the Party.
Snitt Romney.
Wallace is just sowing seeds his buddies in the MSM told him to. He’s a shill. I hope he chokes on his Sunday morning soup.
That said, remember by nature Republicans are spineless pansies. They may despise Trump, but they also know that Donald J. Trump is The Big Dawg Alpha Male of today's political world. They will fall into line like the good little beta cucks they are.
They also read the polls. 95% Republican support for President Donald J. Trump. They may want to keep on going to all the cool Georgetown Gay Orgies, but if they vote against President Donald J. Trump they know they'll get booted from office in 2 seconds, and all the recordings of them with 14 year old Asian ladyboys will be made public.
He was talking about the slaugter in SE Asia, when we abandoned our allies and the Communists slaughtered and displaced millions.
I believe there are enough Republicans who want with all their hearts to vote to remove but they need a context...and they’re looking for one. Enough of them hate Trump forvt the same reason the Demons do.
I’m beginning to think that Chris Wallace has been running Faux News for a long time.
I’d bet it was his idea to take out Trump during the 2016 debate.
Both the Rats and the GOP...
The media could convince them to impeach Trump..
Who in the Senate is out there saying anything to defend Trump..
Or anything Senate committee's are doing...all silence
“There is a 20% chance Senate Republicans would be inclined to vote to impeach and remove President Donald Trump, a Republican source told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace.”
anonymous “source”; so what else is new with the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia?
There's also a 17% chance the Lions will make the playoffs...without the benefit of MSM and democrat pressure............Yawn!
President Trump makes for great ratings.
The People LOVE President Trump. The fake news media and corrupt politicians should beware an angry populace. ANTIFA is nothing compared to motivated patriots at taking down stuff.
If this happens, the Republican Party would be dead to me. Third Party. Trump Party. Whatever. I advise all of us to make that known (if it applies).
There’s a reason the GOP-e is pro-perpetual war and open borders - they make a SHITLOAD of $$$ from both. That, and ONLY that, is why they don’t like Trump. He threatens their gravy train.
Bullshit. If the Senate votes to impeach, there will be a third party and the GOP will be dead.
Saying 20% chance of anything happening is meaningless.
Acorn. Fall. Tree.
Mitty Romney political consultant, the same clown who ran Jebs 2016 Primary camping is not “Well connected”. He is an ass clown political traitor still pouting because he got his clock cleaned by Trump. He the clown pushing this lie to the Fake News
