No comments either from the Clintons on the Hunter Biden story. I wonder why that is.

The only difference between Chris Wallace and Steve Scully is that thusfar Wallace has never gotten caught.

NEW YORK (AP) — C-SPAN suspended its political editor Steve Scully indefinitely Thursday after he admitted to lying about his Twitter feed being hacked when he was confronted about a questionable exchange with former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci.

The news came on the day of what was supposed to be a career highlight for the 30-year C-SPAN veteran. Scully was to moderate the second debate between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, which was canceled after Trump would not agree to a virtual format because of his COVID-19 diagnosis.

He had been frustrated by Trump’s comments and several weeks of criticism on social media and conservative news outlets about his role as moderator, including attacks directed at his family, he said.

“These were both errors in judgement for which I am totally responsible for,” Scully said. “I apologize.”

He said he let down his colleagues at C-SPAN, fellow news professionals and the debate commission. “I ask for their forgiveness as I try to move forward in a moment of reflection and disappointment in myself,” he said.

C-SPAN said Scully confessed to lying about the hack on Wednesday.

“He understands that he made a serious mistake,” the network said. “We were very saddened by this news and do not condone his actions.”

Ultimately the Commission on Presidential Debates will be broken up......has to.

Tonight’s Dual Town Halls is just NBC and ABC taking over. But also evidences there was no reason for a face to face debate not to have taken place.

The Committee on Presidential Debates reported the hack to FBI and twitter.

Really Sculley must be a moron
Laughing stock. And for asking Mooch for advice.

I love it when the little guys try the Clinton approach to get out of something and it fails. They don’t understand, you need to own the the FBI to pull it off and be a real player, not a pawn.

You know, the debates at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 pretty much had all of this sh*t covered.

There is a REASON there is an Electoral College, and there is a REASON its members are appointed by State Legislatures.

That REASON is to keep the national government OUT of the process. And anyone who needs THAT explained shouldn’t be commenting about these things at all.

The choice of the President and Vice President was decentralized on purpose. That means, no Debates Commission, no CNN, no ABCNBCCBS, no campaign finance laws (for POTUS and VP, Congress has Article I authority to regulate House and Senate elections).
