Juan Williams on Impeachment Hearing: ‘This Is a Distraction’
Breitbart ^ | 12/04/2019 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 12/05/2019 5:55:36 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Guy Benson Show,” Fox News Political Analyst and co-host and columnist for the Hill Juan Williams criticized that day’s impeachment hearing as “a distraction.”

Williams said, “I don’t think that this is informing the public about much of the facts in any way. Because I don’t think we have any fact-based witnesses or evidence being introduced. So, what this is about, I think, is, you have scholars engaged in scholarly discourse with regard to whether or not what we know so far, in their opinion, rises to an impeachable offense. That’s the best face I could put on it. But, in all honesty, I don’t see that this is — I think this is a distraction.”

The fact-based facade presented by the Democrats has become so obvious that now even Jaun can see through it. The Republicans didn’t have to make a single contribution.

Juan having second or third thoughts about this? He has been a rabid supporter of the process before.

What those hearings were about is the fact that arrogant Leftist liberal academics don’t seem to like President Trump very much.

What a momentous discovery! /s

Even the chairman fell asleep.

Nadler was probably dreaming about his next cheesecake.

“...and when you’ve lost Juan Williams...”

Fox doesn’t pay him to be logical or make sense in any way. If he keeps this up, they’ll have to find a replacement.

Usually when there is a big event going on I see every democrat scrambling for the cameras so they can opine how terrible President Trump is.

I hardly see any of them doing it during the impeachment clown show.

The only reason Williams is backing off is because the biggest story of the day was Pam Karlan's use of 13 year old Barron Trump as the punch line for a crappy joke, and the overwhelmingly negative reaction to that.

Williams is dismissing the day because it ended up being a bad look for Democrat. The rest of what he said is just his attempt to obscure that reason.

If the Dems had facts, then they would not be wasting time on this.

I’m amazed that Williams provided enough thought to come up with this.

“So, what this is about, I think, is, you have scholars engaged in scholarly discourse with regard to whether or not what we know so far, in their opinion, rises to an impeachable offense.”

No it isn’t, and he knows it. Since they have been at this for, at least, three solid years and can come up with nothing to impeach for, and it is not scholars that are doing this, then the only reason it is being done is to try to put second thoughts into the minds of 2020 voters.

Scholars? Not when it is being done by a group of people that are forcefully trying to change the determination of an election by dirtying the messengers and not using facts. That is being a thug. Scholars are supposed to be educated and wishing to advance things. This isn’t advancement.

Hey, Juan? There are no fact based witnesses, partner. Get it?

You see, I think the programmers, tell Juan to spin every single thing he can...It gets to the point that no one listens to him...

It’s actually refreshing that he can say something sensibly now and then.

Unlike that bald headed boob that Laura has on her show now and then to give the left, or that POS that counters Dan Bongino.

I mean, if they think the viewers love this, they’re wrong. I turn the channel...immediately.

Everyone with a few neurons firing and not suffering from TDS knows this entire thing is a distraction..... Everyone knows that most likely the democrats will draft some idiotic impeachment articles and the President will not be convicted by the Senate...

If anyone truly thought there was even the slightest chance that Trump was going to be removed, the stock market would be chaotic as hell because of the uncertainty, the reality is, as I said, everyone with even a few neurons firing and isn’t suffering from TDS, knows this is nothing more than political theater that will not remove Trump from office.

The democrats are like the hot woman that has grown old and wrinkled and yearning so badly for the attention her young, supple body used to get from men... screaming PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!

Yes, CNN and MSNBC and the MSM is fawning all over themselves.. and the usual suspects are hanging on every word.. but the reality is most everyone else, is just busy living their lives, they know there is NOTHING there...

This is the #SEINFELDIMPEACHMENT

No! The real revelation is that arrogant leftist liberal academics at so-called high-end elite institutions like Harvard, Yale and Stanford are actually pretty stupid and ignorant. It's like our own CJ John Roberts - Haravard's smartest guy in the room - "it's a tax."

We see behind the curtain and there is no wizard.

THAT is the real news here. They are not actually smarter than the rest of us. They are dumb effs and their institutions have promoted them because they are useful idiots in the leftist - globalist cause.

FYI...

Guy Benson recently “married” his favorite boy toy and received congrats from Bret Baier among others.

Of course he has a show on FAUX News...
