ABC NEWS EXECUTIVES BELIEVE THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE FORMER EMPLOYEE WHO ACCESSED AMY ROBACH HOT MIC FOOTAGE of her complaining that the House of Stephanopoulos spiked her story of Jeffrey Epstein during the 2016 election year, HuffPost/New York magazine contributor Yashar Ali writes in his newsletter.

Two sources with knowledge of the situation tell me that ABC News executives know who the former employee is, but don’t know if that person leaked the footage to Project Veritas, the right-wing activist group, or if they shared it with others who leaked the footage.

What ABC News executives do know is that the former employee is now working at CBS News. I’m told that ABC News executives have informed their counterparts at CBS News that this person accessed the footage of Robach. It’s unclear if CBS News plans on taking any action against the employee.

Or to put it another way, “Funny this comes at a time we are discussing whistleblower protection. Who wants to bet the MSM will be consistent here? Me neither.”
