Fox News outs two Fox analysts as working 'off the books' with Trump, Giuliani to find Biden dirt
Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace broke a bit of genuine news on Sunday morning when he reported that two of Fox News' own frequent guests and Trump supporters may themselves be enmeshed in the Trump-Ukraine scandal.
Lawyers Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing have been working with Rudy Giuliani in his attempts to conduct opposition research on former Vice President Joe Biden, said Wallace. "According to a top U.S. official, all three were working off the books apart from the administration. The only person in government who knows what they were doing is President Trump." This is a significant nugget for several reasons. First, Rudy Giuliani is still flatly denying he worked with other lawyers to collect Biden "dirt"; the Fox News anchor is therefore calling Giuliani a liar. Well, even more of a liar.
And second, the top-of-the-program callout of two of the network's own frequent guests and analysts for undisclosed, "off the books" involvement in one of the scandals the network has been hosting them to opine on is, regardless of the obvious conflict of interest, nearly unheard of. From Lou Dobbs to Sean Hannity, the network has taken a notably lax attitude when it comes to network mouths splitting their time between the network and the needs of the Trump administration. They normally wouldn't so much as peep about overtly conflicted guests!
Whatever's going on, diGenova and Toensing seem to have peeved someone in the network off mightily.
