Former Fox host Greta Van Susteren blasted Fox News anchor Chris Wallace for claiming that a “well-connected” Republican, who spoke anonymously, told him there is a 20 percent chance that enough Senate Republicans may vote to remove President Donald Trump during an impeachment trial.
In order to remove a president, more than two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote during the trial.
“There seems to be a growing number of Republicans in Congress who are, if not breaking with the president, distancing themselves from the president,” Wallace said on the show on Sunday. “You had Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader who wrote a scathing article about Syria this week.” His comments were picked up by other media outlets, including The Hill.
“And I talked to a very well-connected Republican in Washington this week, 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 percent chance he believes—obviously, it’s just an estimate—now a 20 percent chance enough Republicans will vote with the Democrats to remove the president,” he said.
On Monday, Van Susteren wrote on Twitter that Wallace “should know better than to use” anonymous sources and questioned what “well-connected” even meant.
“He should name names or not say this at all as without the identity (what is a ‘well connected??’) its purpose is merely to smear and cause trouble – name names or don’t say this at all,” she wrote.
It has been considered highly unlikely that many Republicans would back the impeachment of Trump. Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has expressed displeasure over the House Democrat-led impeachment push, saying they are “finally indulging in their three-year-old impeachment obsession. Full steam ahead.”

“He sickens me. He is a back-stabbing sleazebag.”
I agree with that.
“Chris Wallace = Far left and loony”
Mike Wallace’s spoiled seed.
Wallace got his @ss torn open by Bill Clinton and he loved it... He come back to daddy all the time looking for importance and approval.
Actually what did her in was she defended Roger Ailes against the spandex dressed #metoo bitches like Greta Carlson
And she was not getting the pay she wanted
She was due to leave in a few weeks but Rupert who had stepped in when Ailes left fired her early
Chris is just a chip off daddy’s back. I must admit, however, that his true colors came out much later than I expected they would. Must be something the Murdoch boys are putting in the water.
The first senator that comes to my mind that would like Trump to be impeached and removed is Senator Richard Burr of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee. He’s in the Russiagate investigation up to his eyeballs.
Actually, the most obvious pro-impeachment GOP senate is Mittens himself.
RE: Epoch Times is a refreshing addition to the sites I go for REAL NEWS.
Just know that this is a rabid Anti-Communist China paper with ties to the persecuted sect — FALUN GONG.
Not sure. Edwards is/was a medical malpractice attorney... an ambulance chaser. Never liked him.
After the divorce, his ex wife moved in next door to me. I liked her and felt sorry for her. When my son moved here people confused my son for Edward’s son. They were doppelgangers for each other!
Different timeline.
Those CSers do that i would say the shooting war is on. Who are these POS in the Senate anyway. They must be removed and put on trial for treason ,then HUNG. Think how much money payper view could make on that one.

One real vagina for one rear end vagina.
If I ever saw Chrissy on the street, oh my...
I hate auto correct.
When I try to write a name in lower case, auto correct forces it into an upper case, e.g. Chrissy should be spelled with a small 'c'.
And the Washington Times is run by Tibet, or something.
When I start seeing ads to join the Fulon, I’ll give it up.
It past time to boycott Wallace. he proven himself for years a mindless propaganda bot for the DC Swamp, not a journalist. Any show he is on needs to be turned off.
Dear Chris, “the Stooge”, Wallace
The GOP is breaking small donor fund raising records off Impeachment. Let that sink in before you blow anymore hearsay smoke from bitter clown losers still pouting about losing to Trump in 2016. Romney political consultant, Mike Murphy, is not a serious source. He a bitter loser still pouting that Trump destroyed Jeb in 2016
You bitter ignorant Never Trumpers, better wake up. You cannot get rid of Trump and survive as a political party. Any move against Trump will trigger a hurricane against the GOP-E that makes what happened to the GOP after Nixon look like a minor rain shower.
You are yesterday’s fools all ready consigned to the trash heap of history by US Voters.
Ah yes the infantile attempt to distract attention from the DC Swamp scum by attacking the source.
Utterly irrelevant posting by you
Thank you, Greta...
RE: And the Washington Times is run by Tibet, or something.
The Washington Times is currently owned by Operations Holdings, which is owned by the Unification movement, also known as the Unification Church (UC). This is a worldwide new religious movement whose members are sometimes colloquially called “Moonies”.
Maybe her close connection with Samaritan’s Purse and Franklin Graham has enlightened her and steered her a bit to the right. Right or left, though, she seems to have been very fair in most situations most of the time.
I always liked Greta.
And, she was spot on about Wallace.
That deceitful putz was just trying to manufacture news.
