On Sunday, George Stephanopoulos appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America to discuss the 2016 presidential election and what impact Hillary Clinton’s use of private emails might have on the race.

Speaking to weekend anchor Dan Harris, Stephanopoulos did his best to cast doubt on the importance of the Clinton emails and argued that “it’s not going bring down her campaign and I think it does raise questions about a pattern of kind of hunkering down in the Clinton world. We'll also see if her critics overreact on this one."

Prior to Stephanopoulos’ comments, ABC’s David Wright provided a pre-packaged report on Hillary’s email problems and did his best to connect Republican Jeb Bush to the scandal:

Transparency is at the heart of the email controversy. President Obama told CBS News it was news to him that the Blackberry she carried everywhere as Secretary of State did not have a government email address… Here in Iowa Jeb Bush has his own baggage to deal with.

The ABC reporter didn’t explain how the family Jeb Bush was born into was comparable to the Clintons repeated transparency issues but that didn’t stop Wright from dragging the Republican into the mix when discussing Clinton’s latest problem.

As the 2016 discussion continued, This Week moderator George Stephanopoulos briefly played up how Jeb Bush is “going to have a tough balancing act all through this primary campaign” before turning to Hillary. The ABC anchor did acknowledge the potential problems Hillary’s use of a private email account could have on her presidential ambitions but Stephanopoulos made sure to express doubt over its long-term impact:

I don't think necessarily it’s going to necessarily, it’s not going bring down her campaign and I think it does raise questions about a pattern of kind of hunkering down in the Clinton world. We'll also see if her critics overreact on this one but there’s no question that those emails are going to be to turned over, most of them are going to come out. The question will be what is inside them? Is there anything damaging there? If not I think this tends to blow over, but I think this was a wake-up call to the Clinton campaign about the kind of questions they're going to be getting all through this process.
