During day four of House Democrats' impeachment inquiry, European Union ambassador Gordon Sondland "took out the bus" and "ran over" President Trump and other top officials, host of "Fox News Sunday" Chris Wallace said Wednesday.
[snip]"To a certain degree, he took out the bus and he ran over President Trump, Vice President Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, Rudy Giuliani, Mick Mulvaney -- he implicates all of them," he said.
Wallace pointed to Sondland's opening statement, which disputed the notion that he was involved in rogue diplomacy with Ukraine, but acknowledged a potential quid pro quo involving military aid to the country and investigations desired by the president.

I wouldn’t call it taking one for the team but more like overreacting.
I don’t know what he means by ‘took out the bus”.
The Headline did not match the testimony he made and Wallace did not even provide anything from his testimony to show how he “took out the bus” ( his words ).
But let’s for the sake of argument, grant that Sondland proved Wallace’s case ( which he did not ).
THIS IS THE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR TRUMP.
The Democrat’s accusation is this Trump used the condition that Ukraine investigate Joe Bidens influence peddling by withholding promised US foreign aid as leverage.
Lets say, worst case, that this accusation can be proven (it has not ). Why is this impeachable?
1) It is a known fact that Joe Biden threatened to withhold foreign aid to Ukraine if they did not fire the prosecutor investigating Burismas corruption.
2)It is a known fact that Joe Bidens son sits on the board of Burisma and was receiving over $80,000 a month for a position he was not qualified for ( confirmed by Lt. Col. Vindeman himself ).
3) It is a known fact that Joe Biden OPENLY BOASTED (we have the video) that he had the prosecutor fired USING US foreign aid as leverage.
4) It is a known fact that the foreign aid was given AFTER the prosecutor was fired.
WHY SHOULD TRUMP, WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE CONCERNED WITH UKRAINEs CORRUPTION AS THE CHIEF ENFORCER OF OUR LAWS NOT WANT TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED?
Unlike Muellers probe, this isnt even a fishing expedition. The evidence is already there ( heck I havent even mentioned China yet ).
So, even if Trump used this as a quid pro quo to withhold foreign aid ( which he did not ), he is well within his authority to do so.
The fact that an investigation would benefit him since Biden is a political opponent is incidental. The more important point is THERE IS EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION and it must be investigated.
There is nothing impeachable here. If any, Joe Biden should be disqualified from running until this whole thing is cleared up.

Well I see the “lisper” is trying to stay in the good graces of the left.......ain’t working with those with a brain....
Is THIS the End of Trump?
FU Chris Wallace youre going to be the so-called news anchor with egg all over your smarmy face when this is all over.
Riiight. All based on opinion, hearsay, presumption and conjecture prompted by leading questioning by badgering questioners.
Appears they’re getting ready to try for a triple impeachment: the President, Vice President and Secretary of State, ie, their wet dream to bring down the entire government and install Pelosi as president.
Wallace simply mindlessly regurgitates the Democrat Talking points he is sent
IF we had any real Journalists they would note these two fatal flaws in the Democrat spin.
The 4 fatal words that shot the Democrat Fascist party lie in the head right at the start.
“In my personal view”
He also said THIS which proves Wallace a shameless liar.
Sondland: Ive never heard from President Trump that the aid was conditioned on the investigations.
Game over. That he assumed something is utterly irrelevant
So once again Democrat Fascist Party propaganda bot Wallace proves himself a fool and a liar.
Remember, the President was given cliff notes before the phone call. Vindman said Biden and Barisma were not mentioned in the notes he provided. But I believe Volker said the cliff notes did obtain Biden and Barisma.
The discrepancy....they didn't use Vindman's cliff notes.
The 4 fatal words that shot the Democrat Fascist party lie in the head right at the start.
“In my personal view”
He also said THIS which proves this spin a shameless lie
Sondland: Ive never heard from President Trump that the aid was conditioned on the investigations.
Game over. That he assumed something is utterly irrelevant
Wallace is having a ball now that hes openly a #neverTrumper. Hes running with the Democrat talking points and the Democrats narrative.
Of course, its never occurred to Wallace, Lachlan Murdoch or Paul Ryan, that President Trump is completely innocent and that this Ukraine Impeachment CONSPIRACY is headed for DOOM just like the countless other attempts to overthrow OUR President Trump.
This was Wallace spin before any of the cross. Pure shameless propaganda
Exactly. You nailed it.
Also Chris Wallace is too stupid to notice ALL Sunday Morning Propaganda shows are anchored by democrats... including the abomination at FoxNews...
So Chris Wallace let me explain whey being born on 3rd is a problem.
Think of the difference between Joe Kennedy and his worthless son Teddy. Because Joe Kennedy wasn't born on third - like YOUR father - he moved up in part because the people ABOVE him AND the people BELOW him trusted him. Trusted him - not phonies in 'polite society'... which is crap... The difference? Joe Kennedy would NEVER have walked away in a drunken stupor while a young woman died in an overturned car. If Joe Kennedy had been that type he NEVER would have accomplish the things he did.
And your Dad Chris would have more sympathy for the political 'out group'. And no Chris that was NOT black citizens. They were the 'out group' when your dad was young - and he worked at being fair and protective of them because he didn't have to be part of the dominate 'group think' of his time. YOU Chirs Wallace stand with the Establishment. YOU stand with the power insiders. If you had been a journalist in the early sixties you would have stood with the racists. Most people at that time did... they stood with the power insiders.
So yeah Chris Wallace YOU can do the job but when a young woman is drowning in a car you would be waddling off in a drunken stupor... you got where you are because of your daddy - not because on your way up those you worked with pushed you forward.
Maybe Hunter. Biden was worth a million a year in an insustry he knows nothing about in a country he can't speak the language in - but I doubt it. I not a fan of Joe Biden but he got to the top on his own and along the way he earned the trust of those above him and below him... That didn't happen with Hunter.
So Chris Wallace - it might be time to move on to MSNBC or CNN - where you'll find lots of people born on third...
For God’s sake wh0 gives a rip what Faux “News” has to say.
Wallace will be joining Smith shortly. The push back is going to be so bad he either walks the plank or does a political about face.
Amen, Wallace has always leaned left but now he’s openly left.
I’m looking forward to watching the reactions of Wallace, Murdoch and Ryan when OUR President Trump is reelected. :^)
Truth.
That is why we could be on the brink.
The death of truth in the utilization of the first amendment may bring the second amendment option into play just as well as simply denying free speech in the first place, because in journalistic activism free speech is being weaponized, our freedoms are definitely being used against us.
We have one check on it...elections.
Elections where the Left fully intends to cheat in any way they can.
