Fox News Chris Wallace just shocked viewers by going on an anti-Trump rant.
This past week, House Republicans stormed a closed-door impeachment hearing with complaints about a lack of transparency. It was these same Republicans that Wallace went after during an appearance he made on Americas Newsroom on Friday.
There, host Sandra Smith had Wallace listen to a video clip in which White House adviser Kellyanne Conway asked, Wheres the process?
My feeling is that if you are having trouble with the facts, you argue process, responded Wallace, who seems all too ready to take the Democrats side. Thats what Republicans are doing right now.
The implication, of course, is that the facts are against President Donald Trump, that they seem to indicate that Trump is guilty of a quid pro quo between himself and Ukranian president Volodymyr Zelensky. This being the case, Wallace argues, all Republicans can do is try to get the inquiry thrown out by arguing that the process is unfair.
Before viewers get the idea that Wallace has a personal ax to grind, he cited the supposedly damning evidence that the Democrats have against Trump.
The Democrats have gotten some very damaging information from people like William Taylor, the acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine; Fiona Hill, who used to be one of the top advisers of the National Security Council on Ukraine, he said, evidence that seems to tie more of a quid pro quo, that there is some evidence from these people working in the Trump administration that the president linked aid to Ukraine, a White House meeting with Ukrainian president, to getting research on the Democrats.
Wallace then likened the impeachment inquiry to the Benghazi hearings.
In the Benghazi investigation, there were private hearings and then there were public hearings, he said. Thats whats going to happen here.
I just think that in the end after we have these little must-see TV hearings with these key witnesses in public in November, Wallace continued, Im not sure people are going to care a lot about what the process was in October.
it worked on me, that guy is an ass
I laugh at this piece of dogshit.
There are Republicans in these depositions able to ask questions of (cross examine) the witnesses.
If there were good facts being exposed we would hear about it. Instead we hear about process.
Face it, is there anyone who doesn't think Trump leveraged Ukraine to announce they were investigating Biden?
If you don't, be careful because Trump is likely to admit it tomorrow.
The play is to say get over it, not to pretend it didn't happen.
Wallace is a fool. Every time he opens his yap, he reinforces his absolute foolishness. Amphibian Swamp Critter.
lol
I don’t see the “except” here.
First, there appears to have been monkey business under the prior administration. Hillary, Hunter etc. It’s reasonable to check it out.
Second, I think it’s naive to think that there isn’t constant back and forth internationally as well as domestically. This is selective outrage, and selective righteousness.
I guess you DID NOT read the transcript!!!
This f-stick will never be his daddy. I didn’t always agree with Mike Wallace but he had so much more character.
What facts? In three years of constant screaming there have been ZERO facts against Trump. A thousand felonies by his accusers, BUT. NOT. ONE FACT. against Trump.
This is not a witch hunt, it’s a COUP to cover over thousand crimes.
I an so sick of the double standard I want to see firing squads and deep staters meeting face to face. And I want to see Trump get his Billions back in slander suits before he leaves office.
The Democrats are so corrupt a thousand years in jail is not enough to pay back Decades of Bribes and kickbacks.
I AM FURIOUS, I AM AMERICAN!
He is as insufferable as his dad.
Chris Wallace is a Deep State liar. He even makes Shemp Smith look like an unbiased “journalist”.
Nice try, Chris, but that is flat out wrong. The Republicans are saying that the witnesses are getting destroyed in cross. But the only place you will hear about it is on Hannity, etc.
Its the old trick Schiff likes to play. He selectively leaks his facts and the media treats them as the only facts.
Also, the GOP should be able to call its own witnesses. Where is that? Its nowhere.
There are no facts except that the President has been doing everything perfectly legal and transparent.

The Republicans are in these depositions and able to cross examine.
Why don't they leak some positive facts?
Also, the GOP should be able to call its own witnesses.
They'll be able to later if it goes to the Senate for "trial", but in the meantime there aren't any good facts coming out.
Let me put it to you another way Chris.
I dont like you very much and I am a prosecutor. So I think I am going to charge you with selling kiddie porn and exposing yourself to minors down on the corner of fifth and main last Tuesday night.
Now, I will call a series of witnesses that will all talk about your actions as you shout your innocence. Your proof?!? Why, you were at a party that night in question with your wife and a room full of people.
Sorry Chris, only my witnesses get to testify (in private) and your cross examination of said witnesses is going to be muted like it never happened cause who will see it? Oh, and if you leak the cross, my buds will charge you with leaking. I can leak all I want. Ha ha!!
Whats that? You are complaining and want to call your own witnesses. Clearly, Chris, my sense of it is that you have a problem with the facts of your child porn crime.
Everyone knows it. If it wasnt the case, we would have heard about it.
Nepotism at it’s finest showing up in this ahole.
Perhaps if it ever does make it to the Senate, Majority Leader McConnell can convene all Republicans to secret meetings locking out all Democrats. After a few days of secret meetings, come out and aquit.
Perhaps. He’s a leftist like his jerk father.
