As Twitchy reported earlier, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos tossed a few softballs at Joe Biden on "Good Morning America," who bristled at reports that he's "hiding" in Delaware and said he's anxious to get back on the campaign trail.
Stephanopoulos did grow a spine though and pushed back on Biden's claim that he knew nothing about the investigation into Michael Flynn - borrowing a line from his former boss, he likely heard it on the news when everyone else did. But then after Biden went on a rant about how the whole thing was a distraction from the Trump administration's coronavirus response, Stephanopoulos reminded him about that January 5, 2017 meeting in the Oval Office where just about everybody tied up in the Russian collusion scandal was gathered. Only then did he admit that, yes, he knew. Barack Obama did too, but we don't think he'll admit to it publically anytime soon.
Sean Davis ~ "I knew nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn."
Biden was in the Oval Office meeting with Obama, Rice, Yates, and Comey when Obama used the Flynn-Kislyak calls to justify keeping the investigation of Flynn, and Trump, secret.
Bot Blocker Extraordinaire ~ Sean, Biden being "present" anywhere isn't the same thing as you and I being present anywhere.
Well, gotta admit that THAT is true.
TheLegalBrain ~ Biden is asked about Flynn, claims to know "nothing," accuses Trump of "diversion," and then proceeds to engage in diversion, diversion, diversion before being asked about Flynn again, contradicting himself, and claiming he misunderstood the question.
Winston ~ Biden: I know nothing ...
Also Biden: Yeah, I was briefed.
Yeah, Gropey Joe was briefed, all right!
