Jeffrey Epstein is Still Dead (1 Viewer)

ABC's Amy Robach

Yet another female reporter from yet another network has accidently joined MSNBC's Rachel Maddow to call out her own company for years of spiking stories about Jeffery Epstein providing teenage sex partners for rich and powerful men.

ABC News Amy Robach was caught in an open mic video moment which has been published by Project Veratis' James O'Keefe, a self-proclaimed "guerrilla journalist" whose past efforts have drawn heavy criticism.

“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.”

Fox News contacted Robach, and she confirmed the video was genuine.

“As a journalist, as the Epstein story continued to unfold last summer, I was caught in a private moment of frustration. I was upset that an important interview I had conducted with [Epstein accuser] Virginia Roberts didn’t air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABC’s editorial standards about her allegations,” Robach said in a statement provided to Fox News

“We would not put it on the air. Um, first of all, I was told, who’s Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story," Robach said on the video recording. "Then, the Palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview Kate and Will that we, that also quashed the story.”

“I tried for three years to get it on to no avail. And now it’s all coming out and it’s like these new revelations and I freaking had all of it,” Robach said. “I’m so pissed right now.”

ABC News' Amy Robach caught on hot mic saying network spiked Jeffrey Epstein bombshell

ABC News anchor Amy Robach was caught on a hot mic admitting that her network spiked a story that would have exposed disgraced money man and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein three years ago.

Since Robach chose to provide a statement to Fox News, it's a sole source, not a news provider of choice for this piece.

and then they had CBS fired the alleged video maker.

So they fired THIS whistleblower, but shield the identity at least one other?

 

[Dadsdream]

... meaning the Seth Rich assassination conspiracy theory didn't pan out, so on to the next conspiracy theory it is.

Like the Mueller Russia Collusion Investigation didn't pan out so on to the Ukraine Phone Call Investigation?

Nah, it's nothing like that. Teenage girls were used as sex slaves and people ended up dead in this case. Totally different.

 

[UncleTrvlingJim]

So they fired THIS whistleblower, but shield the identity at least one other?

It's almost like whistleblowers are likely to face retaliation no matter what the stated policy is, right?

 

[JimEverett]

It's almost like whistleblowers are likely to face retaliation no matter what the stated policy is, right?

I have yet to read that the whistleblower on the Ukraine matter has been fired.

 

[UncleTrvlingJim]

I have yet to read that the whistleblower on the Ukraine matter has been fired.

Because s/he hasn't been named, maybe?

 

[UncleTrvlingJim]

Because s/he hasn't been named, maybe?

Well, that and explicit laws that would prevent it. But the President did say that the whistleblower was like a spy and we used to deal with spies differently in the old days. That certainly isn't threatening at all.

 

[JimEverett]

Because s/he hasn't been named, maybe?

Touche

Do I get to be "common folk"? I think I'm pretty damn "common folk" in a lot of ways, tbh. I still don't understand your criteria.

It's just because common folk are people who think like him -- conservatives. Anyone not in that group are not common, they're "radicals" or have a different "lifestyle" and when they talk to people outside of their group they're trying to "convert" or "propagandize" the others. If you vote for an issue differently than them, it's "against their own interest" or going against what they *should* believe. It's "other"ing that's so ingrained they don't think it is loaded, partisan language.

 

[SystemShock]

Like the Mueller Russia Collusion Investigation didn't pan out

You mean the investigation in which Mueller was limited in what he could investigate and how, yet produced 30+ arrests and convictions, and ended up with Mueller stating before Congress his investigation didn't exonerate Trump?

to the Ukraine Phone Call Investigation?

You mean the quid pro quo Mulvaney admitted to?

Nah, it's nothing like that.

Ok.

Clovis brewery prints 'Epstein didn't kill himself' on the bottom of cans

CLOVIS, Calif. (FOX26) – Questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide have popped up everywhere lately, and now they have even made their way to the bottom of a beer can. Printed on the bottom of the cans sold at Tactical Ops Brewing in Clovis is the message, "2019/11/06 EPSTEIN...

so in a rush to cover up the cover up it appears now that ABC and CBS fired the wrong person

 

[Beach Friends]

It really is amazing how little curiosity our media has shown about the life and death of Epstein. It seems like they would at least want to know how it came to pass that a former President flew on Epstein owned jets no less than 26 times.

"Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission," Andrew wrote in a statement posted to Twitter.

The specter of Jeffrey Epstein rises from the grave to force Prince Andrew's to "step back" from his royal duties!

Yes, Jeffrey Epstein is still dead.

“His suicide has left many unanswered questions, particularly for his victims, and I deeply sympathize with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure," Andrew's statement said. "I can only hope that, in time, they will be able to rebuild their lives."

"I am glad that Prince Andrew has realized the negative public reaction to his interview and recognized his failure to empathize with the victims of Epstein," said Florida lawyer Spencer Kuvin, who has represented Epstein accusers in the past, in an email to USA TODAY. "If (he) is truly remorseful and shamed of his ill-judged relationship with Epstein, then he can prove it by waiving all possible diplomatic immunity and subject himself to the jurisdiction of the United States."

The last sentence in Andrew's statement is notable for its vagueness: “Of course, I am willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required.”

Prince Andrew Steps Back From Public Duties Over Ties To Jeffrey Epstein

The news comes days after the prince sat down for an hourlong interview with the BBC over his association with Jeffrey Epstein. He says the scrutiny has been a "major disruption."

Seems like many of us would like to know more about it. Why do you think the media shows so little interest in a story that is so intriguing to the public?
