Stephanopoulos' REPLACEMENT for GOP Debates
Posted on 05/14/2015 3:59:08 PM PDT by cotton1706
In frantic damage control mode, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos ran to the safe zone of the left-wing Politico to announce the he will recuse himself from ABC’s February GOP debate in New Hampshire. He also admitted that the total amount he contributed to the Clinton Foundation was a whopping $75,000, not the $50,000, as originally reported.
The chief anchor and political correspondent at ABC News now admits he should never have donated money to the Clinton Foundation, and that he should have disclosed his donations to ABC News viewers.
As of now, probably as they gauge the fallout, ABC News stands by Stephanopoulos. He told Politico he intends to go back to business as usual, co-anchoring “Good Morning America” and hosting the Sunday news show ‘This Week.”
Stephanopoulos also said he would continue to cover the 2016 presidential election.
The seediness of everyone’s behavior in this matter — Stephanopoulos and ABC News — goes way beyond what unraveled the career of NBC News anchor Brian Williams.

Will Trump “recuse” himself from the rep. primaries after giving the clintoons more than $100K?
Today, he recuses, tomorrow he’s asking Hillary softball questions. I have no faith in anything the media says or does.
Stephanopoli’s failure to mention his Clinton Foundation donation ...and apparently lying about the amt to ABC-TV.....is in violation of the ABC network’s requirement of “full disclosure”....
ABC-TV may have also violated licensure requirements by the FCC.

==================================================
WAIT A SEC---maybe Georgio did not disclose the $75G b/c it was not his money that was donated? =======================================================
Did Stephanpoli take a tax write-off for his donation?
DID ABC-TV take a tax write-off?
Who has the "gift receipt" from the Clinton Foundation that is generally used to claim a tax write-off?
How much did George list as a write-off on his IRS return....$50G? $75G?......or more?
Time to determine if fraudulent tax returns were filed.
“Stephanopoulos Recuses Himself From GOP Debate”
Not good enough.
Anyone with the slightest political savvy knew that ABC had hired a Democrat operative and Clinton partisan as the face of their news department.
Now it’s becoming obvious even to those who aren’t paying a lot of attention. Good to see ABC finding itself in a pile of excrement because of Stephanopoulos.

You do know networks aren’t licensed by the FCC?
Do you support Rush Limbaugh being one of the debate moderators? He’s an ‘objective journalist’ - well, at least as objective as George. Then again we’re not the delusional liars ABC is obviously made of...
THE QUESTION NO ONE IS ASKING SO I WILL, KNOWING THE CLINTON’S DO FAVORS (TAKE BRIBES) FOR CASH WHAT DID STEPHIE GET IN RETURN, WHAT WAS THE QUID PRO QUOE?
So only half of them would agree?
Truer words were never spoken.

Off with his head!
The answer to your question is so easy it is not even funny. The Quid Pro Quoe was his job at ABC. Euphemisms all aside, there was no donation, it is properly called a kick back. 75 grand sounds about right for a seven figure job in the media, especially when you are not even close to being qualified for the job. In the Democrat hackorama, a thousand or two could get you a job as a doorman at the State House with a high five figure pension at the age of 45. But for millions per annum, your going to half to kick up a large sum to the Boss.
When did he give the money, I think it was years after he went to work there. So I think if it was more recently they did him a favor or did one for a friend.
Funny how he “forgot” he donated an extra $25,000 over what he confessed to. This just gets worse. Tomorrow we’ll hear it was $100,000. He should be fired.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
It's unbelievable that whoever is handling these debates for Republicans would EVEN CONSIDER having the debates on the liberal networks. I thought we were reassured that this BS of having biased reporters asking Gotcha questions would never happen again.
This can't be allowed to happen!
He needs to recuse himself from ALL political stories, through at least 205 years (a dollar per day).
A kickback is given after you get the job. The Clintons are thick as thieves with the upper management of ABC. They have sway at that network. George has to kick up in gratitude for the job, and also to keep being employed. No different than the Mob. Your a mob soldier, a percentage of any score must be kicked up to your captain, if not, you get whacked. In this case, George is a minion, so he expects to lay tribute at his benefactors feet. He has been a minion his whole life, groveling on his hands and knees around the table of more powerful men, hoping a turkey leg is tossed his way. He is a stooge for the Clintons. But the Clintons know, like Augustus, to allow their minions to feed at the table. It is as old as history itself this story.
