Wow, I stepped out for a few minutes only to return and find what a weird turn this thread has taken. WTF?
ABC News' spiking of Epstein story draws scrutiny toward Clinton ally George Stephanopoulos By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News ABC News anchor Amy Robach was recorded on a hot mic claiming the network spiked a story exposing Jeffrey Epstein three years ago. The hot mic outburst was published by Project Veritas, a controversial conservative watchdog group that claimed the tape was leaked by an ABC News insider. The bombshell claim that ABC News "quashed" a story on allegations against Jeffrey Epstein has drawn new scrutiny on the controversy's ties to its own star anchor, George Stephanopoulos. Project Veritas, whose controversial founder, James O'Keefe, has described himself as a "guerrilla journalist," published the footage that featured ABC News anchor Amy Robach claiming the Disney-owned network refused to air an interview she conducted with one of Epstein’s accusers and even suggesting she'd uncovered new information about Epstein's ties to former President Bill Clinton as his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was running for president. "I've had the story for three years... we would not put it on the air," Robach said on the hot mic. "It was unbelievable what we had, Clinton, we had everything." Stephanopoulos, ABC News' chief anchor on "Good Morning America" and the Sunday program "This Week" who's overseen the network's political coverage, has had deep ties to the Clintons. Before he became the face of ABC News, he made a name for himself as a senior advisor to President Clinton back in the '90s. Ahead of the 2016 election, he pulled out of modering debates after his $75,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation drew criticism. Word that ABC News spiked a story on Jeffrey Epstein, left, shined a spotlight on chief anchor George Stephanopoulos' ties to former President Clinton. However, what's really raising eyebrows is a 2010 report of a party Stephanopoulos attended that Epstein had hosted. Page Six reported that the convicted pedophile held an event in honor of Prince Andrew, who was one of the high-profile figures implicated in the scandal, in his New York City townhouse, and on the guestlist were several members of the media, including Stephanopoulos. The party took place after Epstein's 13-month prison stint for soliciting prostitutes under 18. Despite having made multiple trips overseas with Epstein, Clinton denied he had any knowledge of Epstein's alleged sexual predation. Strangely, though, it was reported that Epstein had a painting of Clinton depicted in the Oval Office wearing a blue dress and red high heels. Stephanopoulos is known to be highly influential inside ABC News. It was unclear if he had any direct involvement in the network's apparent efforts to kill the Epstein story; the network did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment on that.
Couple hours each way give or take, but get payed to drive and use a work truck so really not bad. Finished the first episode today. Lots of good info and well put together for an easy listen. I’m hooked. I didn’t realize Acosta was the prosecuting attorney in Florida who gave him the cushy plea deal in the first case. Really super sketchy.
That is good! I am sitting here sort of in a daze. I intended to improve the raw water flow in the cooling system of the MarAzul. Reroute some plumbing, replaced the impeller in the pump and take a bow! Well got the pump up to speed, and trying to reinstall. Need to turn the engine over a bit and the damn starter won't responded. Yeah! Voltage to the that sucker but no go. Now I can see no way forward, but pull that sucker out of there and bring that up to Parr. I sort of like to close a post with, Life is good! I guess, some days are better than others! Will have to do.
