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.”

I always liked Greta.
And, she was spot on about Wallace.
That deceitful putz was just trying to manufacture news.
Fox falls all over itself to fawn over Chris Wallace and Brit Hume, because of their MSM background and name recognition. At least Brit Hume, even though he doesn’t always support President Trump, acknowledges that he’s a republican, and a Christian. Wallace proudly proclaims himself a democrat, and it ALWAYS shows in his work.
LOL...disruptor..
Most of what I posted were facts for people to understand her better rather than feeling that anyone who criticizes your enemy is good.
I sure would like to know Romney’s IQ.
I don’t think he exceeds double digits.
Owned by the Moonies, but not run by the Moonies. It’s a financial investment for them.
Chris Wallace is and long has been a libtard progressive in disguise....his father would be proud.
Furthermore, I am getting a serious laugh out of FoxNews continuing to hemorrhage viewers.
Welcome to "The Mandela Effect".
Chris Wallace = Matt Drudge = Judge Nepolitano = Homosexuals
Not sure about Chris Wallace. He’s been married twice and has several kids.
