One lone Fox News commentator tells the truth
by digby
John Amato caught the one Fox News apostate telling the real story. Do any of them hear him?
Shepard Smith began his Fox News program by blistering Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump over their calls to investigate the Biden family.
Before William Barr came along, Trump and his bagmen tried to hide their dealings with foreign governments who they tasked with doing the wet-work they need against his political rivals, but now it’s all out in the open.
Smith said, “President Trump says it doesn’t matter if he talked to the president of Ukraine about investigating Joe Biden. A whistleblower reportedly says the president made a promise to a foreign leader. A watch dog calls it of urgent concern, but Congress is still trying to find out what the whistle-blower knows.”
He continued, “A report from the Ukrainian government reads in part, Donald Trump is convinced that the new Ukrainian government will be able to quickly improve images of Ukraine, complete investigation of corruption cases which inhibited the interaction between the Ukraine and the USA.”
Smith reported that all the indications are the whistle-blower’s complaints stem from Trump’s direct conversation with the president of the Ukraine.
Smith then played video of Rudy Giuliani admitting vociferously that they wanted the Ukraine government to investigate the Bidens at Trump’s behest.
After the crazed interview of Rudy finished, Smith said, “The subject matter about which they were speaking is a debunked conspiracy theory.”
In roughly 3 minutes Shepard Smith encapsulated the entire conspiracy between Trump, Rudy Giuliani and the Ukrainian government.
And it’s one in which impeachment proceedings should begin immediately if the evidence tells us this is what happened.
That’s how you put a bow on a story, Shep.
Indeed. I wonder what the Trump cult thinks when the see this? Does it cause any cognitive dissonance? Are they uncomfortable with it? I don’t know. But at least some of Trump’s ecstatic followers are hearing this. If they were the flag-waving patriots they like to think they are, they’d be at least a little bit disturbed to hear it.
