First, Wallace called Trump's defenders "deeply misleading." Then, in this clip, he goes off on Trump himself for his characterization of the whistle-blower and the White House employees who told him about Trump's wrongdoing as "spies."
Wallace was not having it, interrupting host Sandra Smith.
"That is very deeply troubling," he said. "These are people inside an administration saying something is going on that they were very deeply troubled by."
"There's a whistleblower process that allows people inside the government to report on activities that they were concerned by. They didn't go to the NY Times -- go to MSNBC, they told this to a person who filed a formal whistleblower complaint which stayed secret for over a month," he stressed.
Clearly irritated, he said, "To call them spies and to suggest perhaps we should deal with them, the way we have dealt with other people committing treason and which is in effect, to execute them, really seems to strike to the very heart of what whistle-blowers are all about." READ MORE
A must-read article by Gabriel Sherman in Vanity Fair describes how the looming impeachment of Donald Trump has reportedly sent Fox News into “management bedlam.” The disarray has been apparent for a while. We have seen Trump-worshipers such as Sean Hannity ignore Fox’s reporting in favor of pro-Trump propaganda. Also, there have been some high-profile departures by those who have blasted the network for its “partisan misinformation” and calling it a “cult of Trump”
Nowhere was that disarray more apparent than in this week’s feud between Smith and Carlson. As I explained in a previous post, Carlson sided with pro-Trump lawyer Joseph diGenova, who has a history of unprofessional behavior, when he called Fox’s own senior judicial analyst “a fool” for opining that Trump had committed a crime in trying to strong arm Ukraine into digging up dirt for his personal political benefit. The next day, after Smith called the smear “repugnant” and went on to cite numerous respected attorneys who agree with Napolitano, Carlson, of all people, accused Smith of being a dishonest opinion host.

Unfortunately, if the House allows that ignorance of the law is a defense, then it becomes important to ensure that one does not know the laws governing their performance. Obviously that would be a terrible moment for lawmaking in general.

I just can't wait to hear Giuliani testify. The lawyer who can turn a simple traffic violation into a capital case is going to be hilarious to hear as every sentence takes the whole administration into a deeper and deeper hole.

Obama Diplomat Opposes Trump WH Releasing Ukraine Call Notes | The Beat ...
No one is calling for the release of all Presidential phone calls, what they're getting is a transcript released by the President to make it appear that there's nothing to the complaint. If any Presidential phone calls are at risk, they would only be the ones that cause a complaint to be generated. But, we already know that legislators always take whatever view of language serves them self. If it's imprecise or precision, it only matters which view serves their present notions. Unfortunately for the grifters, we the people know which view to take regardless.
White House Notes Show Trump Asked The Ukraine To 'Look Into' Biden's So...
Right, against a backdrop of desperately needed aid being mysteriously held up, by an American President who has shown greater fealty to Putin than to his own intelligence agency. Even worse is, we're getting White House spin on the complaint where, by law, they have no standing to even comment less even read the complaint. So, we're being asked to believe the word of an administration that has repeatedly shown nothing but contempt for the laws, contempt for congress and contempt for the people.
All we need to know is that, the IG received a complaint, decided that it was credible enough within the meaning of the law and that it should have been given to congress without any administration involvement. The mere fact that that did not happen is a violation of the law and should be severely punished.

No, no... The aid was held up because the moon was in the 7th house and Jupiter was aligned with Mars! LOL
But the President of the Ukraine would have great reason to be concerned with his aid being held up, in light of Trump's obvious pro-Putin leanings.

Tapper to Mnuchin: What if Obama had done this?
He certainly has a lot to be so certain about for a guy who wasn't on the call himself, eh?
Besides the fact that this is not a case where some reporter raised a question about a phone call the President made, it's about a qualified intelligence skilled person, whose complaint was considered justified, credible and in urgent need of Congressional committee review. We don't need all this cringeworthy rhetoric from Trump Toady Munchkin.
John King ELIZABETH WARREN TAKES THE LEAD!
Apparently people have had enough of imprecise speech and Biden's errors are beginning to eviscerate his support. Also, as a "school Marm" Warren sounds like she will not entertain any guff in office. We expect that she will be very stern when it comes to people making spacious offers and "slap them down hard". That's what people are craving in this age of the Trumpty Dumpty.
