What is really pissing me off is the way Fox has been practically fellating Brian Kilmeade for this interview, like it hasn't been known for several years, since the 2018 video of Joe admitting to blackmailing Poroshenko into firing Shokin surfaced.
We had entire threads about it here, a few years ago. Did a deep dive on it myself and posted the same story. Rudy got pilloried for talking about Shokin during Trump's first impeachment trial.
Anyone paying attention knew this. But suddenly Fox is just now discovering it?
Brian Kilmeade is worthless! Along with Fox of course
Killmeade said he had Miranda Devine walk him through the story, step by step. She;s only been reporting on this story for a few years. But he was clueless about it, apparently.
I posted in another thread about this. I agree it is odd how this played out. I think Fox wanted to do the interview but had to get someone non-controversial to do it. Elder Doocy has a lot of Chris Wallace in him. To the point I think he is gone from Fox after this next election season.
Walter's is way too controversial, same for Hannity and all the women, though I think Shokin with a female probably winds up with a weird vibe.
Shokin has evidently offered to provide interviews before with nothing but crickets. No idea why Fox delayed until now.
Regarding Devine walking Kilmeade through it, not totally surprised. This is a bit out of Kilmeade's lane (he likes to default to humor but some of his specials have been legit serious and good). Maybe here he is attempting to make a leap to being taken more serious outside of being the butt of half of Gutfeld's jokes? Hard to say.
Just spitballing as I absolutely am also perplexed by the timing and the interviewer.
