New Veritas Video Takes Aim at ABC
James O’Keefe (an old friend of mine from college) has released a doozy of a video this morning, maybe one of his most explosive yet. In it, ABC News anchor Amy Robach is clearly exasperated, discussing how coverage of Jeffrey Epstein was pushed under the rug:
BREAKING: @abcnews anchor @arobach caught on 'hot mic' in August disgustedly exposing networks decision to strategically spike bombshell investigation into Jefferey Esptein over THREE YEARS AGO.

I’m in the middle of Ronan Farrow’s new book on Harvey Weinstein (which I plan to review for Ricochet) but the similarities between the two stories are glaring. In both instances, a major news network brushed serious allegations of sexual misconduct under the rug for the sake of a powerful man.
One of the least-covered elements of the Farrow book is how the Clintons played into the coverup, and how Hillary and her henchmen bullied Farrow and NBC News into burying the story on behalf of Weinstein. In the ABC story O’Keefe has dug up, again, the Clintons play a major role, with Robach claiming they had evidence against Bill Clinton in the Epstein case as well.
Perhaps even as damaging as Robach’s hot mic moment is the ABC News statement that followed,
OK the video was one thing but this statement is the real bombshell. This is "they have a gun to my family's head" levels of revisionism. https://t.co/WbT4S5r05C

With both Farrow and Robach’s statements about Clinton, one might hope that the one-two punch might actually force the toxic duo to face down their many skeletons. Robach quotes an attorney saying “One day we will realize Jeffrey Epstein was the most prolific pedophile this country has ever known,” but so too should we recognize that Hillary Clinton is certainly the biggest and most powerful enabler of sexual abuse.
Before the media recognizes this, and admits to the role they’ve played in the coverups themselves, they can stuff their hashtag campaigns and fainting couches about Donald Trump.
Edit:
Just as I hit publish on this post, this came across my Twitter feed. Whoooo boy.
Reminder that ABC News' George Stephanopoulos attended a party that Jeffrey Epstein threw for Prince Andrew, where "everyone at the table" was sucking up to the alleged predator prince https://t.co/olkHKYtOSF pic.twitter.com/sRaXSi3dbf

Yeah and Hillary was covering for Harvey Weinstein too. All of this, of course, because of Bill. I don’t know as much about the accusations against Prince Andrew. Maybe he walked into a situation and couldn’t get out immediately but never went back?? Bill definitely knew what was going on and kept going back. You have to give the President some credit that he recognized that Epstein was a bad dude and distanced himself. More than you can say for many others.
On the recording she says, “Other women backing it up,” and in her statement “insufficient corroboration.” Sorry, Amy, choose one.
Christine Blasey Ford? “Believe all women!” You mean, believe all women that can’t be linked to powerful Democrats.
My first thought is what ABC execs are doing right now in relation to the person who supplied Veritas with the video. Will the union, NABET Local 14, protect him or hang him out to dry. You can bet they’ve already reviewed work schedules and building logins to find the “traitor” in their midsts. “Journalists” who scream the loudest about openness and transparency are the last people who hold themselves to those standards.
The media complains that the president is damaging how we view them, but a look at the last couple of decades would show that these wounds are entirely self-afflicted.
She’s a coward. Thank goodness Farrow isn’t.
Too many cowards are finding safe haven in the Democrat Media Complex.
Great write up. Totally agree with this statement and it’s a large reason why ABC wouldn’t report on it:
“so too should we recognize that Hillary Clinton is certainly the biggest and most powerful enabler of sexual abuse.”
This is a bombshell story. Amy Robach will probably get fired or demoted for this. Either the Clinton Crime family or the royal family will make certain it gets covered up.
It shows you one can no longer trust the media. Was it ever forthcoming? I don’t know, but it aint now, that’s for sure. Fake News is really a truly operative phrase.
I believe that Prince Andrew (does he really deserve the title of “prince”?) is just as much a pig as Bill Clinton. Yes, he knew what was going on and he was part of it.
But Manny there are all those nice princes in the Hallmark movies! (sarc)
