Chris Wallace: ‘Rich’ for GOP to Decry Whitaker Proceedings After Obama-Era Hearings, Benghazi

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "Not a whole lot. Because, you know, to the degree that Republicans or the Democrats are looking for a smoking gun here that will indicate that the President is interfering, or Matthew Whitaker is an agent in interfering with the Special Counsel probe that doesn't seem to be much there there. On the other hand, I have to say, I do find it kind of rich that Republicans are so outraged that they would be this kind of a hearing of the other party's president and administration. You know, it's not like Republicans sat on their hands when Barack Obama was president. They investigated Benghazi, they investigated fast and furious, they investigated the IRS and those were are all legitimate issues to investigate. Sometimes they found some things, sometimes they didn't find things. But that’s part of oversight and as Barack Obama famously said, elections have consequences when Republicans have oversight of a branch of Congress, or House of Congress and they’re investigating a Democratic president, they're going to make life difficult for them and now the Democrats are in control of the House and have control of these committees. And whether it's Jerry Nadler of Judiciary, Adam Schiff in Intelligence, or Elijah Cummings at Oversight, they’re going to make life difficult for members of the Trump Administration. It's just the way it works."
