ABC News Stepanopoulous response criticized (issue snowballing--seen as "advocating" for Clintons)
breitbart.com ^ | 5/15/15 | Ian Hanchett

MORNING JOE VIDEO AT WEB SITE---NYT reporter Jeremy Peters and Wash/Post's Erik Wemple criticized ABC’s response to Stephanopoulos’ undisclosed donations. “I doubt they’ve had a chance to do any degree of inquiry. Perhaps they asked George, 'have you done anything else?’ And maybe he told them, ‘no, this is it.’ But that’s troublesome. The story changed throughout the day, they had to amend their disclosures....because at first it looked as though he had only disclosed 2013 and 2014---between the time that Hillary resigned as Secretary of State, and the time she declared her candidacy. But now going back to 2012, it’s even worse” Wemple stated.

Peters said he was startled at how quickly ABC said 'end of discussion’ ..... this is about protecting a corporate brand. Stephanopoulos is ABC News....they really cannot afford, from a corporate branding standpoint, to leave him twisting in the wind.” Wemple added, “That is the problem with conflicts of interest...the anchor goes out and proves that they can be tough on Democrats, or the other party, goes overboard, and ends up committing unfairness.” Wemple concluded, “... I sensed that Stephanopoulous was going after Schweizer. In retrospect, it looks like activism.”

Lining up the big money and key base groups, I presume.

That's another 'clinton' thing... it's also referred to as 'move on'...

Partisan hack...sandbagged Romney with the ‘out of left field’ question about birth control. This was a Democrat driven wedge issue purposely planted in the debate to embarrass Romney. It had not been a factor in the race until the propagandists launched the Republican ‘War on Women’. The den hack Steph did his masters bidding.

Pressure needs to be placed on ABC and advertisers contacted.

......the regime’s pick, Bill De Blasio, continues his tour.......

Blobbio's BIGGEST accomplishment is converting a lesbian.
Course how Blobbio did it is still "under wraps" (/snicker).

EDITORIAL CARTOON CREDIT: NY POST

==================================================

THE PROGRESSIVE COP HATERS---birds of a feather.

<><> Blobbio managed Hillary's Senate campaign

<><> then-prez Bill Clinton named Blobbio regional director of HUD (under Cuomo)

<><> Clinton top aide Harold Ickes held Blobbio's Commie hand during Blob's mayoral campaign,

<><> Blobbio and his lesbian wife are angling for WH jobs (heaven help us).

==========================================

Just weeks ago, Chirlayne rushed in to help when criticism rained
down on Hillary for secert emails and for collecting millions while
privvy to us ntl security secrets.

BTW, Ever notice when liberals screw-up---their
fallback position is "for the children."
The two
feminazis held a photo-op at a child care facility.
That's Blobbio's wife on the right.

"Chirlayne, you saved my ***. You're on my A list for a WH job."

In his biased Schweitzer interview, Stephanopoulos mentioned that ABC had done its own investigations.....and concluded that there’s nothing to see here.

Stephanopoli dutifully buzz-sawed any whisper of wrong-doing.....but the ABC'er never mentioned his Clinton Foundation donation to ABC viewers.....in violation of the ABC network's requirement of "full disclosure."

Later in the ABC-TV Schwweizer interview, Stephanopoulos said, “I still haven’t heard any direct evidence..... and you (meaning Schweizer) just said....... you had no evidence that Hillary intervened here.” He noted that other news organizations that used Schweizer’s research “haven’t confirmed any evidence of any crime.”

================================================

It looks like the ABC veteran and Foundation donor has the party-line down pat.

The Clintons' cadre of puckered-up ***-kissers (lying-in-wait for federal jobs)---are spinning the explosive "Clinton Cash" revelations like crazy----blathering about "not a shred of evidence" of criminal wrongdoing.

Or as ABC's George Stephanopoulos helpfully parrotted, "There's no smoking gun."

The party-line is that "it’s extremely difficult to identify a direct quid pro quo"....b/c while Hillary was Secy of State, foreign funny money was moving around from hand to hand with big money deals approved which she could say were going to be approved anyway.

And at the same time, all that foreign money was floating around, it was flowing into the "charitable Clinton Foundation"..... not into Hillary’s bank account.

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

ABC-TV News is reportedly standing by Stephanopoulos.....but for how long? Because if they truly think it’s not a problem, then the “smoking gun” points not just to the credibility of Clinton donor George Stephanopoulos, but to ABC-TV News, as well.

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.

That interview with the book author 2 weeks ago I heard was a one sided affair.

GMA is unwatchable. You have this grubby little man Stephenopolous surrounded by ladies spouting off about funny internet cat videos to a soundtrack aimed at tween girls. When I’ve seen it I marvel at what a train wreck it is.

There’s a video of it on FR somewhere.....Fox has rerun clips of it.

The phony “compassionate” liberal suck-up ....Steffi’s nasty, unrelieved aggression against poor Schweizer was appalling......his loyalty to the Clintons revealed his true nature.
