So we’re just going to ignore that an ex-Clinton staffer interviewed Comey on the Clinton email scandal?

Why does ABC News entrust its coverage of Hillary Clinton stories to one of the former first family’s longtime capos?

George Stephanopoulos, who served for years as an adviser to former President Bill Clinton, can sit across from former FBI director James Comey and say things like, “Your critics say this is a clear, clear, clear double standard. You revealed information about Hillary Clinton. You concealed information about Donald Trump. That elected Donald Trump,” and “you've decided to say publicly there is a criminal investigation — of Hillary Clinton, which many considered a break with precedent” and the press considers this scene to be perfectly normal.

Stephanopoulos, whom Clinton aides credited for using their work after the newsman had a particularly combative interview with Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer, can ask Comey, “do you think that the FBI would be in better shape today … if you had simply put out that one line statement, ‘We decline to prosecute’?” and “Can you assure people today — can you assure them that the Obama Justice Department was not protecting Hillary Clinton?” and this is ordinary.
