After an unprecedented on-air hissy fit last week over the forced exit of a longtime editor, 60 Minutes's Scott Pelley decided to go all in on the Trump-hate, using his on-air time to praise and promote Marc Elias, the architect of the Russia hoax scandal and probably the world's sleaziest lawyer.
According to Breitbart News's Joel Pollak:
CBS News’ 60 Minutes portrayed Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias as a victim of President Donald Trump’s supposed retaliation against law firms — without once mentioning Elias’s sordid background.
CBS’ Scott Pelley portrayed Elias as a hero, the only lawyer brave enough to speak out against a series of executive orders by Trump targeting large law firms that participated in, or hired, lawyers who opposed him.
Pelley neglected to mention that Elias was the architect of the Democrats’ “Russia collusion” hoax in 2016; that he led the effort to change election laws in 2020; and that he has a long history of dirty political tricks.
Nor did Pelley mention that Elias had been sanctioned by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit for unethical conduct. Instead, he was portrayed as an innocent victim, a symbol of the “system of justice.”
He isn't even trying to hide his partisanship. He's calling Elias a hero, courageous, a victim and all the other nonsense that can't be attributed to the sneaky acts of the Russia collusion hoaxers, let alone a Clinton lawyer. Pelley's pious intonations about "rule of law" are, to paraphrase an English writer, "like hearing the word 'love' from the mouth of a whore."
What's more, he's doing what a lot of Democrats do, accusing others what they themselves are doing, which in this case, taking revenge for personal purposes.

The democRATs all knew the Russia Collusion story was a hoax and they did not care.
Who still bothers to watch?
Isn’t Marc Elias one of the foremost practitioners of lawfare against Trump?
Clinton lawyer kept Russian dossier project closely held
October 27, 2017, Wash/Po, By Michael Kranish
When Marc Elias, general counsel for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, hired a private research firm in the spring of 2016 to investigate Donald Trump, he drew from funds he was authorized to spend without oversight by campaign officials, according to a spokesperson for his law firm.
The firm hired by Elias, Fusion GPS, produced research that resulted a dossier detailing alleged connections between Trump and Russia. While the funding for the work came from the campaign and the Democratic National Committee, Elias kept the information about the investigation closely held as he advised the campaign on its strategy, according to the spokesperson, who requested anonymity to discuss the internal dynamics.

Marc Elias is going to regret putting his rat face on 60 minutes. Trump’s curse will be painful.
P.O.S.
BTTT
That is him.
I betcha the folks at Skydance are...

Didn’t he get one of those autopen pardons that The Big Guy issued in early/mid January?

“..Isn’t Marc Elias one of the foremost practitioners of lawfare against Trump?...”
Yes. In a sane world, he’d be rotting away in a federal prison cell somwehere.
Besides the Russia Gate scandal I don't know much about Elias but I think he would have a hard time beating Gloria Allred for the title of World's Sleaziest Lawyer.
She is the lawyer that sues high profile men for sexually assaulting women and takes 75% of the settlement for herself. And as a part of the settlement the women are required to shut up about the assault.
I hope they are completely bankrupted by President Trump.
He was also behind all the lawsuits to get all the voting laws changed to allow the massive 2020 fraud. He is an enemy of the people and the sooner he stops polluting our air the better
60 Minutes IS NOW AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME, A LEFT WING OUTFIT.
NOT WORTH WATCHING.
SORRY, UNLESS YOU ARE A COMMUNIST.
