Who does he think he is?
On Friday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “American Newsroom,” network anchor Chris Wallace said it raised “all kinds of questions” that President Donald Trump demanded Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky investigate 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s business ties.
Wallace said, “Of course he says that there was no tie in Ukraine to the withholding of $400 million of aid and withholding of a presidential visit. The two things don’t exist in complete isolation. Particularly in the case of Ukraine. The link between withholding the aid, the fact we have found out from this top envoy Kurt Volker yesterday that in fact, the U.S. was working to try to get the man there on the left, Ukrainian President Zelensky to sign a formal pledge that he was going to specifically investigate Biden, you know, sure creates some linkage. But you know the president is going to say there is no linkage there. I’m just asking a question.”
He added, “One last point, generally speaking, if there was going to be an investigation it wouldn’t be the president demanding another president do it and also talking about investigating his prime rival. It would be the FBI or the Justice Department going to law enforcement officials inside Ukraine and asking them, and that didn’t happen. It was the president to the president, which raises all kinds of questions.”

CHRIS IS TOO FULL OF HIMSELF !!! needs to get out of the news business !!!
I am not surprised at Wallace, he’s showboating for the changed Fox News ownership, now that Fox News has opened its doors to non-Trump Fox News employees. Wallace is one who has emerged as anti-Trump with the arrival to Fox News of Paul Ryan, now of the Fox News Board of Directors. A treacherous politician if there ever was one! Since he arrived at Fox News, Shep Smith became more brazen against the President, Fox News has employed a former noted Democrat campaign operator, she is still a Democrat campaign operator. I saw the signs of Fox personnel additions who travel as non-aligned politically, a cover-up. Others, like Smith is strictly Leftist. Fox News is no longer the Fox News that shot to the top with Bill O’Reilly leading it. The three anchors in time slots ending the day for Fox, Sean, Tucker, and Laura are still the best in their time slots, but Fox now tries to be all things to everybody. OAN and Newsmax are surely in my appreciation zone, Fox News mgmt. has forgotten who was loyal and represented the audience that was best in the industry. But as I indicated, others now appeal also, to conservative thinkers.
Chri Wallace is a clone of that Left wing Daddy he had. Chris Wallace used to try to act like he was bipartison when he first went to FOX. Now he is an out and out Left wing HACK. Newsmax is looking better every day. If al the Conservatives leave FOX, they will be on par with MSNBC an CNN.
Sadly, it seems that Chris Wallace, whom I always considered to be somewhat fair and balanced, has changed allegiance and fallen under the spell of the Dark Side. He is now entranced by the evil drivel of the Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. As a result, he has evidently lost his ability to be “fair and balanced” and to be able to comprehend the truth even when it is written in really big print. He evidently has failed in his due diligence to even access/read the terms of “Treaty With Ukraine On Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters” signed by Pres. Clinton in 1999, which made Pres. Trump’s request of the Ukrainian President Zelensky in regard to “looking into” the collusion of the 2016 election and the antics of the Bidens perfectly legal. As head of the Executive Branch, the president has the authority to ask for such aid, regardless of the fact that Mr. Wallace says “…if there was going to be an investigation, it wouldn’t be the president asking another president to do it and also talking about investigating his prime rival.” He claims, “It would be the FBI or the Justice Department going to law enforcement officials inside the Ukraine and asking them.” Mr. Wallace is evidently not aware that the FBI and the Justice Department fall under the purview of the Executive Branch, which makes them subject to the President’s authority. So, my question to Mr. Wallace would be: What difference does it make whether the FBI, the Justice Department or the President, himself, made the request since said request is perfectly legal under the terms of the 1999 treaty? Mr. Wallace doesn’t have an answer for that because the question is too logical for someone who suffers from Trumpophobia.
