Chris Wallace Pushes Back on Ken Starr: Trump Impeachment Allegations ‘Far Broader’ than Clinton Lying About Sex

‘There was certainly never any prospect that Bill Clinton was going to be removed’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "I just want to push back a bit, respectfully, but that’s what we do here at Fox, on Ken Starr and Andy McCarthy, but particularly Ken Starr on his characterization of this process and what we heard today. When he was speaking just a couple of moments ago, he said that the presentation of the case against the President is narrow, prosecutors look at the world through dirty windows, it's slanted. You know, it just seems to me, and Ken, I see you there on the screen so I will be talking directly to you, you know, when you compare this to the Clinton impeachment, which was basically about whether or not the President had lied under oath about sex — I’m not talking about whether or not this story is true or not, but the allegation that President Trump conditioned support for a key foreign policy ally on political benefit to him strikes me as not narrow but far broader than the Clinton impeachment and the effort that was made by you and Republicans then to impeach him. And in addition, you said earlier today that well, there is no prospect that this is ever going to go anywhere in the Senate, as if that should somehow affect the way the House proceeds.”
