Dan Rather: “Facts Are Closing In”

Welcome

WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 13: (L-R) Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), Democratic Counsel Daniel Goldman, Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Republican Counsel Steve Castor listen to top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine William B. Taylor Jr. testify during the first public hearings held by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence as part of the impeachment inquiry into U.S. President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill November 13, 2019 in Washington, DC. In the first public impeachment hearings in more than two decades, House Democrats are trying to build a case that President Donald Trump committed extortion, bribery or coercion by trying to enlist Ukraine to investigate his political rival in exchange for military aide and a White House meeting that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky sought with Trump.

Dan Rather is weighing in on the impeachment inquiries saying, “I’ve had the feeling that truth is closing in. Facts are closing in. There’s still a lot we don’t know.” Here’s what else he told CNN’s Brian Stelter today:

“I think one thing has changed. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that truth is closing in. truth does matter. And there’s been this feeling that the White House with this alternative narrative, false narrative and with its allies in primetime on Fox was at least in a standoff with truth. We’ve seen the last few days to say truth has begun to close in. Things are beginning to matter. The difference between facts and the truth, people under oath and the false narratives that have been put out in way of defense is beginning to tell. Now whether it’s making a deep enough impression on public opinion to convince enough in the Republican party in power to begin to say to themselves, look, we have to fall in behind the truth I have some doubts, which is it say the Republican party as a whole and in particular members of the house and senate and Republican party are standing with the president. They’re complicit in what he’s doing.”
