CBS’s 60 Minutes Invites Russia Hoax Architect Marc Elias To Attack Trump
Beth Brelje
Scott Pelley’s 60 Minutes segment on Sunday started with a disclaimer, as if he knew the segment critical of President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at curtailing frivolous political lawsuits was a more than a tad biased.
“It was nearly impossible to get anyone on camera for this story, because of the fear now running through our system of justice,” Pelley explained. What he actually meant is likely that CBS leadership didn’t insist that he offer a balanced segment by finding credible sources on both sides of the topic.
When Pelley introduced Democrat operative Marc Elias, the disclaimer made sense. It was akin to saying, “I swear this is true, but I can only get my mom to back me up.” Only, Elias is nothing like your mama.
Elias is a political attorney who has made a career of attacking Trump and Republicans, mostly in the courts — which is why he is mentioned by name in the executive order.
