Well connected..............

Former Fox host Greta Van Susteren blasted Fox News anchor Chris Wallace for claiming that a “well-connected” Republican, who spoke anonymously, told him there is a 20 percent chance that enough Senate Republicans may vote to remove President Donald Trump during an impeachment trial.
In order to remove a president, more than two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote during the trial.
“There seems to be a growing number of Republicans in Congress who are, if not breaking with the president, distancing themselves from the president,” Wallace said on the show on Sunday. “You had Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader who wrote a scathing article about Syria this week.” His comments were picked up by other media outlets, including The Hill.
“And I talked to a very well-connected Republican in Washington this week, somebody whose name you would know well, who says that if the House votes to impeach and it gets to a trial in the Senate, there is now a 20 percent chance he believes—obviously, it’s just an estimate—now a 20 percent chance enough Republicans will vote with the Democrats to remove the president,” he said.
On Monday, Van Susteren wrote on Twitter that Wallace “should know better than to use” anonymous sources and questioned what “well-connected” even meant.
“He should name names or not say this at all as without the identity (what is a ‘well connected??’) its purpose is merely to smear and cause trouble – name names or don’t say this at all,” she wrote.
It has been considered highly unlikely that many Republicans would back the impeachment of Trump. Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has expressed displeasure over the House Democrat-led impeachment push, saying they are “finally indulging in their three-year-old impeachment obsession. Full steam ahead.”

Thanks for the update there Greta. Something we knew is that wallace is pretty dang useless/feckless. But a little confirmation is okay.
Ping
Chris Wallace = Far left and loony
Wallace is just acting like the Democrat that he is. ‘Well-connected anonymous source’ is just SOP for the Left.
So... Wallace spoke with Mitt the Moron...
I absolutely can’t stand Wallace. Listened to him for a few minutes last evening and changed channels immediately...
Well connected..............
I used to like to watch Greta’s show on Fox (when it wasn’t about Natalie Holloway). I always found her pretty “fair and balanced” even though she is a lib.
Doing the job the GOP-e refuses to do.
There are lots of GOP Senators that don’t want us to stop the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
It’s been their life’s work to fundamentally transform the USA into North Mexico against the will of the citizens.
Getting rid of Trump is essential.
Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Lee, Romney, Capito, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.
Pick 20.
He’s an arrogant smart-ass. There, I said it. He always comes across this way.
FOX.....bring back Greta.
“He should name names or not say this at all as without the identity (what is a ‘well connected??’) its purpose is merely to smear and cause trouble – name names or don’t say this at all,” she wrote.

Good for her. Priss Wallace with his mouth looking like a pursed anal sphincter and his sneaky, rotten personality needs a whippin'.
Wallace is Shemp’s replacement and it will be like Shemp never left.

He sickens me. He is a back-stabbing sleazebag.
Two years of non stop Scott Peterson and Natalie Holloway coverage did her in.
I could have sworn I read she had died awhile back.
Would have bet money on it.
Mittens or Son Of A Postman.
GOP is hopeless at the federal level...there is to much money to steal..
