ABC NEWS' STORY ON EPSTEIN IN 2015 WASN'T KILLED, IT COMMITTED SUICIDE

Project Veritas, a right-wing investigative group, has released a "hot mic" tape of ABC news anchor Amy Robach talking about a story she was doing on Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 that was mysteriously never aired despite a wealth of evidence. 

In the tape Robach talks about how she did a lot of work on the story:

"I’ve had this interview with Virginia [Guiffre]...I had it all three years ago. She had pictures. She had everything. It was unbelievable what we had. We had [Bill] Clinton. We had everything."

But despite that, the story, which was clearly dynamite, as it implicated not only Clinton but also Prince Andrew in Andrew Epstein's web of pedophilia, was never used. 

This is leading some crackpot conspiracy theorists to speculate that the story was killed simply to protect the rich and the powerful who are personal friends with the people who own and run ABC. 

Kobach in her "hot mic" tape adds fuel to the fire by enigmatically hinting that the British Royal Family may have had something to do with the decision not to air the story:

Then the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. Um, we were so afraid that we wouldn't be able to interview Kate and Will that we...that also quashed the story.

But now it seems that this is all just some retarded right-wing conspiracy theory, as Kobach, after a little huddle with her bosses, has now released the following clarifying statement that totally exonerates ABC of any cover up:

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 Virginia Roberts [in 2015] didn’t air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABC’s editorial standards about her allegations.

Yes, conspiritards, nothing to see here. ABC only ever runs hard news stories that have lots of rock solid "corroborating evidence," which is why they spent thousands of hours reporting on the Russiagate story for the last two years. 

It's clear what happened here, this news story was not killed, it was simply left alone for a few minutes on Ms. Kobach's desk, and, while no one was looking, it managed to somehow throw itself off the desk into a waste paper basket and kill itself. Happens all the time.
