PERFECTO, Senor Blanco..!!

**Suggestion for ‘Follow Up’**: Stephie as Lapdog perched on Billy Bubba’s much-used lap.

This is no big deal. These people are not journalists. They are Democrat party operatives. He was hired because he is a Dem operative with access to Clinton. He is just in the open now.

The journalists are in places like LI.

You nailed it again!

It’s been pointed out by Peter Schweizer (he’s now done some research on him) that George Stephanopoulous has other connections to the Clinton Foundation.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2015/05/16/stephanopoulos-abc-clinton-schweizer-foundation-hillary-column/27436475/

As recently as 2013 and 2014 he was a Clinton Global Initiative “judge” for awards.

http://press.clintonglobalinitiative.org/press_releases/president-clinton-and-chelsea-clinton-announce-program-and-more-than-400k-in-funding-for-student-commitment-makers-at-sixth-meeting-of-clinton-global-initiative-university/

The Up to Us Competition judges include Chelsea Clinton; former White House Chief of Staff and former Co-chair of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform Erskine Bowles; former U.S. Senator and former Co-chair of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform Alan Simpson; and anchor of ABC’s “This Week” and “Good Morning America” George Stephanopoulos.

Stephenopolous was kind of whitewashing this attempt to build influence, and probably takening some instructions as to who to vote to give money to and for what purposes.

Some of the money for the award was underwritten Laureate International Universities, a private university that also put Bill Clinton on its payroll, as well as having some kind of an affiliate that got some money directly from the State Department.

All this, is at a minimum, logrolling.

When you have logrolling, there’s no simple quid pro quo, since it is a lot of people helping a lot of other people, and there’s probably more to that anyway.

It can be said the Clintons were raising Stephanopolous’s profile, which might be worth tangible money to him. And he was helping them gain credibility for their “awards” And those awards were made for whatever reason.

As an additional layer of sleaze, it is not only that Stephenopolous is a hard core supporter of democrats, it is THE democrat that he chooses to support.

You hit another home run Branco! Awesome!

ABC won’t fire Stephie?

ABC is afraid of a hit job by the Clintons?

ABC – Wimpy Wienie TV!

Hits the mark!

A slap at Hillary and the drive-by media.

A double shot of love from Branco. Nice, real nice.

On “ABC’s This Week,” or “Sunday in the Dark with George.”

A starring role awaits George in a new movie – All the Queen’s Men.
