ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos clashed with former President Trump’s attorney, Will Scharf, in a Sunday interview, over the former president’s unsubstantiated claims that President Biden played a role in bringing the hush money criminal case against Trump in New York.
In an interview on “This Week,” Scharf repeatedly echoed claims of the former president, arguing the hush money criminal trial — which ended in a guilty conviction against Trump on 34 felony counts — was “exhibit A” in terms of the “politicization of the legal system.”
“It’s absolutely unprecedented in American history. It’s not the way that our campaigns are supposed to be run. We contest elections at the ballot box, not in the courts in this country,” Scharf continued.
Stephanopoulos conceded Scharf’s point about winning elections at the ballot box but made clear there was no evidence to suggest any involvement of the federal Department of Justice with the New York state criminal trial that just concluded.
“That is true. But, of course, we’ve never had a former president or presidential candidate facing the kind of charges that the president faced because of his own activities. And, of course, the attorney general in Manhattan has nothing to do with the Department of Justice,” Stephanopoulos said.
As Stephanopoulos tried to pivot back to his question about the sentencing process, Scharf pressed on, refusing to concede his point about the prosecution being politically motivated. Stephanopoulos eventually interrupted.
“I vehemently disagree that the district attorney in New York was not politically motivated here,” Scharf said, “and I vehemently disagree that President Biden and his political allies aren’t up to their necks in this prosecution.”
Stephanopoulos jumped in, saying, “There’s no evidence here of that. Sir … I’m not going to let you continue to say that.....

George was launched into fame and glory when he became the parrott and give the media any lie that Bill and Hill wanted to spew out on the airwaves. I never knew him to be an INVESTIGATIVE person, just a stooge. Funny he is still around and people actually believe him.
He’s photogenic, and has a Greek name. Believe? He’s “cute”.
Presstitution.
Mr. Stephanopoulos aka Mr. Snuffleupagus has always been a heel ... I mean hero of the Democratic Party so no surprise here.
Yes they even Stalin and Lenin learned if you tell a lie long enough..........................
Journalism”.
Today’s “journalism” is accurately described with 1 word:
” Urinalism “
This from the man who handled ‘bimbo eruptions’ for President Clinton. How many NDAS did he arrange for? How many women did he destroy? Technically there may be no evidence Biden is involved, but common sense says otherwise. Common sense also there was no reason to revive a case 3 years past its statute of limitations and hang it on a felony that was never charged. The Dems can go blow. Stephanopolis is an ass.
Steffie knows the truth but has to protect the senile one.
I got banned from "Ace of Spades HQ" for saying that if I ever got the chance, I would punch that nasty little weasel in the mouth.
And I would too! I would love to just start hitting that little lying sack of sh*t in his lying little weasel mouth.

Woody Allen could have written this for Your Show of Shows.
That’s the “rub”, isn’t it? (The right is too polite.) The left wants us DEAD but we keep turning our faces so that they’ll have a clear hit at the other cheek. What is the solution? Seriously, what will solve this outrageous predicament?
