Brit Hume finds his conscience. A little late but hey.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/10/totally-improper-pro-trump-fox-pundit-taken-aback-after-president-begs-bill-barr-to-go-after-biden/

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume was aghast at reports that President Donald Trump was pressuring Attorney General Bill Barr to prosecute Joe Biden.

The president appeared Tuesday on Fox News, where he complained that his attorney general had not bowed to House Republican requests to appoint a special counsel to investigate corruption allegations against Biden and his son Hunter.

“Totally improper,” Hume tweeted about the president’s demands. “And what did he think could be done before the election anyway? Barr will almost certainly refuse, and rightly so.”
