Full Interview - Chris Wallace Accuses Dem Sen. Coons of ‘More Than a Whiff of McCarthyism’
YouTube ^

Posted on 3/5/2017, 6:10:51 PM by TigerClaws

Published on Mar 5, 2017

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace questioned Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) over comments he made during an MSNBC interview last Friday where he said that the intelligence community had transcripts of conversations between Russia and the Trump campaign.

After playing the video clip of Coons saying there are transcripts that provide”very critical insights” into whether Russia was “colluding with the Trump campaign,” Wallace asked, “Senator, we’re talking here about the President of the United States, isn’t there more than a whiff of McCarthyism for you as a U.S. Senator to say there are transcripts out there that provide insight into whether or not there was collusion, but you don’t know whether they exist?”

After initially defending his comments as an attempt to encourage the Senate Intelligence Committee to be given access to the raw intelligence, Coons admitted there is no “hard evidence of collusion,” and apologized.

If there are 'transcripts' that's proof that some type of wiretap or bugging (it was suggested this weekend that Session's U.S. Senate office was bugged).

Chris Wallace was right to call him out. Coons deflects.

Wiretaps and bugged office and the most Obama and company can come up with is a Russian Conspiracy Theory?

I know Wallace can be a ****, but I give him credit. He’s at least shooting for being right down the middle.

Chris Wallace is a liberal. He is NOT to be trusted at any level, period.

Gave up on the interview after 2 minutes. Too much wordsmithing. Maybe that’s the idea.

They are not able to LIE now to cover their asses since there are so many lies out there.

Can NOT keep them straight any longer.

Everything these C-suckers are now saying fits nicely into the investigations to come.

Keep em talking boys! They are spilling the beans without even taking the stand.

Think this should be called the vodka connection.

Ha.

Wallace nailed Coons by playing the video.

There are transcripts of the wiretaps/bugging from the FISA warrant and Coons has seen them. That’s the info that was then leaked to various friendly media sources that took Flynn out and almost took Sessions out this week.

Trump is right to fight back. During a general election a sitting POTUS ordered the wiretap and bugging of a political opponent.

If we can get the leaked information going from Lynch to Bill Clinton, could take down the entire cabal.

The Russian Conspiracy Theory. DNC didn’t allow the FBI to access the servers (1) there might have been other criminal evidence on the servers and allowing access would waive the requirement of a warrant but most likely (2) the DNC was hacked by an insider (Seth Rich) and the FBI would have determined that.

To access the FISA warrant, an allegation of foreign interference was manufactured. The Google-owned company was brought in to blame Russia and justify the warrant.

They then say the hackers were ‘Russian affiliated.’ Russia didn’t do it, but someone who spoke Russian did it because a Cyrillic alphabet was used in the hacking software. Of course, top hackers always leave obvious footprints when they do sophisticated operations, right?

This is the group that investigated the DNC servers:

There’s a bandwagon appeal for some ideas and ideals, when you aren’t part of the bandwagon, you can see a little of how rediculous it is.

Coons is one of my Senators, from DE.

Cannot stand him.

Real partisan hack.

Talk about fake news...this was a fake conspiracy to take down a government that’s finally been exposed...whether Trump had to play his trump card or not, the ball’s finally in Obama’s court.

The flaw in Wallace's comparison is that McCarthy was right. Moscow did have agents infiltrating the US government, media and Hollyweird.

Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Coons is a traitor to the United States of America.

Seems like Coons might have been taken to Fort Marcy Park and asked if he knows anything about the place.....

It is fortunate Coons went on record that there are transcripts of the surveillance. What is curious is that the Obama response was not along the lines of how serious this was that it warranted surveillance.

Nixon was another one who was taken down by Fake News. If you read the actual records there is nothing there that he actually did. If he would have stayed for the trial he would have won.
