Reporter Amy Robach Vindicated Over 6 Years After ABC News Spiked Epstein Story
Western Journal ^ | January 4, 2024 | Allison Anton

At long last, the names contained in court documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are being released. It’s a slow trickle, to be sure, but four long years after the arraignment and eventual death of Epstein in prison, it’s a release that’s long overdue.

One reporter who no doubt vehemently agrees with this sentiment is reporter Amy Robach, who said she had the story a full three years before Epstein’s death, only for her employer at the time, ABC News, to, in her words, “quash” the whole thing.

This information comes from a leaked video of Robach’s comments on a hot mic released by James O’Keefe and Project Veritas on Nov. 5, 2019.

In the video, Robach expressed her frustration with ABC News for refusing to cover the Epstein story.

She said she had conducted an exclusive interview with Epstein victim Virginia Guiffre back in 2016, complete with photographic evidence of Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton’s Epstein connections.

...

“I’ve had the story for three years. I’ve had this interview with Virginia Roberts,” Robach said, using Guiffre’s maiden name. “We would not put it on the air.”

Explaining why, she said, “First of all, I was told, ‘Who’s Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story.'”

Of course, the idea that no one knew who Epstein was is absurd. Though the wealthy New York financier might not have been a household name, he was connected with many famous and powerful men, and the higher-ups at an organization such as ABC News surely would have at least heard his name.

If what Robach said is true, it seems likely her network was just throwing out bogus reasons to shut her up.

Her “hot mike” recording may have saved her life.

ABC News and the executives involved in quashing this story should be prosecuted as accessories after the fact.

And the probability that some of them are on the Epstein list should be a factor in that prosecution.

ABC news went bad years ago. George Stephanopoulos was a friend of Epstein.

Perhaps the ABC ‘higher ups’ were Epstein ‘customers’.............

I don’t advocate giving government any more power to prosecute anybody for political crimes - but it should be clear now that ABC’s credibility as a journalistic outlet ranks somewhat below that of the Weekly World News. :)

This is not about increasing anyone’s power.

If an ABC executive or executives squashed this story to cover for themselves or someone else at ABC then their motive may well be found to constitute a criminal conspiracy to hide evidence of a crime.

Which makes them accessories after the fact.

ABC also knows that Bill Clinton was a regular to rape island as did Vanity Fair and the whole corrupt media. They also know all about Joe Biden being a pedophile and committing incest with his daughter. His son Hunter Biden being a pedophile. The whole Biden crime family.

I want to know about Bill Gates visits to Epstein’s various properties. His now ex wife knows.

The media people are very corrupt and have no morals.

The only person in jail for this is a woman and not any of the rapists.
