John Podesta vehemently denied the gravity of the latest revelations regarding Hillary Clinton’s private email server in a Sunday morning interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” (snip) Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, opened the interview by blasting Comey for not “actually having looked at” the new emails “before he did this in the middle of the presidential campaign so close to the voting.” “But it’s not that they haven’t read any of them,” noted host Jake Tapper. “Obviously the FBI agents who stumbled upon them read some of them, and determined them to be pertinent and realized that.” “Do you...

FULL TITLE: Jake Tapper is Shocked, S.H.O.C.K.E.D, That Donna Brazile Would Tip Off Clinton On CNN Townhall Questions… Back in March CNN held a Town Hall event with Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Jake Tapper and Roland Martin were moderators. It is now confirmed that CNN’s Donna Brazile had an advance copy of at least one of the questions for Hillary Clinton and gave Clinton a heads’-up so she could prepare

The disingenuous media once again shows its hubris. Jake Tapper protects Hillary with a clever edit. In her Walking Dead statement on the plane, she criticizes Trump calling NYC event a bombing after she called it a bombing. FR post.

Jake Tapper Debates Katrina Pierson ‘That Has Never Happened in the History of the World’

In response to candidate Donald Trump’s policy remarks surrounding Islamic extremism, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Sarah Murray transmit the following via twitter.

CNN’s biased, Hillary-loving anchor, Jake Tapper overheard two older women discussing Trump at his gym. You’ll recall that Jake Tapper was caught up in the recent Wikileaks DNC email hack when emails surfaced showing him colluding with the DNC to help fine-tune their message. Jake was likely shocked by what he heard. After they got out the defibrillator and brought Jake “back” he tweeted this out: Jake Tapper/@jaketapper: "Overheard at gym, two older women complaining about various Trump comments, convo ends with "but I am still voting for him." "Oh me too" 10:17 AM - 11 Aug 2016

Watching CNN. They just started covering a protest at the DEM Convention that was blocking delegates from entering the arena when Jake Tapper cut to reporter off so they could cover the Boys ii Men performance. All the news that's fit to spin.

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Vice President Joe Biden stated that during President Obama’s meeting with law enforcement officials, Obama responded to their criticisms of some of his past statements “by pointing out, which I don’t think that they heard loudly and clearly, that, he in fact has, repeatedly, been supportive of the police organizations.”

Donald Trump on Friday vociferously defended his claims that a judge overseeing a lawsuit against Trump University is biased because of his Mexican heritage -- pushing back against criticism that his objections are racist. Speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead," Trump repeatedly referenced his plans to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico and renegotiate trade agreements between the two countries. The presumptive GOP nominee said U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, a federal district judge in the Southern District of California, has made "rulings that people can't even believe."

CNN anchor Jake Tapper has interviewed Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on at least four separate occasions since she announced her White House bid last June — but has yet to ask the former Secretary of State a single question concerning the alarming allegations laid out in meticulous detail in the New York Times best-selling book Clinton Cash, written by Government Accountability Institute President and Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer. Tapper, an alumnus of ABC News and Salon.com, interviewed Clinton last October, once in February, again in April, and earlier this month. Each time, he failed to ask the Democratic...

During the Democratic Town Hall Sunday night, CNN moderator Jake Tapper pressed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on the topic of his passionate followers, some of whom have shown their strong political allegiance with displays of aggression. With many comparisons drawn between the candidacies — and followers — of Sanders and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, the issue of aggressive political passion has become more heated than at any other point in this election. Tapper preempted a question by noting that he was looking to play devil’s advocate on a point regarding the the differences between Sanders supporters and those of Trump....

It's better to say 'Mis-spoke' or call the subject 'a factual inaccuracy', because we don't know if Trump forgot and is just covering up for a mistake. A lie is a complex thing.

CNN’s Jake Tapper confronted Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz over the “rigged” process in New Hampshire that left Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton with the same number of delegates despite Sanders’ 22 point shellacking of Clinton. Appearing on CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper on Thursday, after Wasserman Schultz attempted an explanation, Tapper said, “I’m not sure that, that answer would satisfy an anxious young voter.” (RELATED: After Crushing Defeat, DNC Quirk Still Gives Hillary More New Hampshire Delegates Than Sanders) “Hillary Clinton lost to Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire by 22 percentage points, the biggest victory in...

CNN’s Jake Tapper confronted Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio this afternoon over his (and Donald Trump‘s) refusal to give up the “preposterous notion” that President Obama wasn’t born in the United States and that his birth certificate was forged. He asked Arpaio why he would risk his credibility on issues like immigration by sticking by this conspiracy theory. Arpaio said, “I don’t care where he came from, we’re working on a fraudulent, forged government document.” An incredulous Tapper asked Arpaio if any respectable law enforcement official agrees with him on this. Arpaio boasted that he’s willing to look into something that...

Mike Huckabee sidestepped direct confrontation with Donald Trump, but says he wouldn't "beshmerch" anyone wanting to come to America for a better life, implying Trump did.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper continued his prosecution of the Obama administration for not sending a high-level official to the Paris Unity Rally yesterday. He lit into former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, now a CNN contributor, on Monday, asking what the administration was thinking in skipping the rally. Carney argued the security challenges of a president in an open rally would have distracted from the rally’s Franco-centric message. “I take your point on the president,” Tapper responded. “But Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, somebody else from the administration? Chuck Hagel?” RELATED: Zakaria on U.S.’s Absence from Paris Rally: Why God...

Following early election results Tuesday night on CNN, Anderson Cooper asked “The Lead” anchor Jake Tapper whether he thought Republican success represented a GOP “wave.”

During the recent race riots in Ferguson, Missouri, CNN’s Jake Tapper was walking down a street and filming a segment when someone emerged out of the shadows behind him, holding a banner emblazoned, “ISIS is here.” At that point it was just a threat, or a boast, or both, but on Tuesday Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) said that the Islamic State was doing all it could to make it a reality: “At least ten ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas.”
