Clinton campaign senior strategist Joel Benenson was on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” Sunday morning when he attempted to spin away the WikiLeaks emails by saying “I’ve seen things” in the thousands of emails “that aren’t authentic”:

Oh, really? That’s a wopper and journalists called him out.
Like liberal Glenn Greenwald:
They're now blatantly lying to the public, which is why they haven't identified a single one. https://t.co/9SmRwI5Ith

It's slimy enough to insinuate the emails are fake when you know they're not. This is outright lying https://t.co/9SmRwI5Ith

And the NYT’s Nick Confessore:
Name one, please. https://t.co/7nr9E4wTTN

Even “This Week” producer Joy Lin commented on why Benenson didn’t elaborate:

Lin makes a good point, but why didn’t Stephanopoulos ask that question?
Oh, right…
And @GStephanopoulos didn't push back because he essentially works for @HillaryClinton https://t.co/08MqOGYe2s
