STEPHANOPOULOS FLOORED AS GINGRICH, BLOOMBERG EDITORS DETAIL SERIOUSNESS OF ‘CLINTON CASH’
Breitbart Big Journalism ^ | 26 Apr 2015 | Written by Matthew Boyle

Posted on 04/26/2015 12:47:36 PM PDT by Resettozero

The former public face of Bill Clinton’s White House—and current host of ABC News’ This Week—George Stephanopoulos was floored as two prominent journalists and the Republican Speaker of the House from his Clinton days, Newt Gingrich, laid out for him just how bad the “Clinton Cash” book is for his old bosses.

During the show’s roundtable panel after Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer appeared on the show for a lengthy interview, Stephanopoulos teamed with Democratic strategist Donna Brazile in an attempt to discredit Schweizer. But it started with Stephanopoulos making a shocking admission: Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign wouldn’t send out any official surrogates or spokespeople to defend her on this scandal.

“Donna, I got to talk to you first—I know you’re close to the Clinton team—they did not want to put anybody out to talk about this book today even though we asked, and you just saw Peter Schweizer there,” Stephanopoulos said to Brazile. “What do you make of his allegations generally but also his specific allegation that he makes that there are undisclosed donations to the Clinton Foundation from foreign charities?”

Brazile admitted she doesn’t know what’s in the book. Yet, without having read it, she proceeded to drop a series of rhetorical attacks on Schweizer. She also offered the Clinton campaign advice on how to attempt to get past Clinton Cash.

“The Clintons “violated the spirit of Barack Obama’s presidency”?

They sure did.

They are nowhere near liberal enough.

And they don't particularly like Muslimes.

Two horrible strikes against them, to this White House.

Ben, please.

ABC is just another liberal propaganda arm. PROPAGANDA! Don't expect actual journalism, truth or balance of any kind. I'm surprised anybody still watches that garbage.

Yeah, how many years ago did the New York Times do a story about the Klintons’ making all kinds of money off their charity scams? The New York Times’ website immediately “crashed” for a week and the networks said nearly nothing. This is like being shocked that Brian Williams is a serial liar.

I run Ghostery but others think it inhibits their banking and other such sites. It doesn’t.

I've run into a couple of sites where Ghostery causes problems.

But, it's easy to disable temporarily.

Sure, no title of nobility, being showered with money and treated like celebrities is good enough for them.

Stephanopoulos is NOT defending Hillary Clinton. The fact this topic is even ON THE SHOW is intended to harm Hillary.

Sometimes a story gets big enough that the audience at least expects the show to mention it. George's audience is mostly people who have some interest in politics and if he simply ignored the story they'd wonder why he didn't even mention it. His show's audience is different from, say, that of the CBS Evening News, which didn't even bring up the foundation scandal at all.

Yes but they get high marks in adhering to the prime directive of the Obama Presidency.

Namely, to violate the rule of law in general - and the Constitution in particular.

I have to re-load Chrome after every Breitbart visit, thus no clickthru from me.

There's a way to do it, then there's a way to do it. Let us concede your point, he HAD to do this story. But inviting hard guests and making it drag on for some time, instead of a quick little mention and dismissively calling it 'old news' and moving to the next topic?

No, George switched sides.

Any site that may be impeded by Ghostery can be "whitelisted" with one button click. Very simple.

Is it me, or does George Wimponopolous look like the guy still planning revenge on the guys who pantsed him in 8th grade gym class?

My question, as well.

If the State Department negotiates the sale of 20% of the USA's uranium, one would think the president must sign of on such a deal.

So, what was in it for Obama?
