He was a campaign strategy guy....not a journalist. I could see him being brought to a panel and provide five minutes of discussion. Other than that.....he hasn’t show much talent at anything else and certainly isn’t worth $105 million. But they had to pay him that much...so he could pay his handlers the money to allow him to attend parties and functions where people ‘talk’.
That's why he's there at ABC. It's part of the campaign strategy.
