CNN's Jake Tapper spent years legitimizing Russiagate before calling the Durham Report 'devastating'
For years, Jake Tapper spearheaded CNN's coverage of the Russian collusion hoax that plagued the Trump presidency, but his attitude has shifted following the release of the Durham Report.
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., once said she guaranteed that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the White House in 2016 – a claim contradicted by this week's release of Special Counsel John Durham's report on the Trump investigation.
"Here you have a president who I can tell you, I guarantee you, is in collusion with the Russians to undermine our democracy," Waters said in September 2017.
The Durham probe, released nearly six years after that comment, determined that the investigation into the Trump campaign's connection with Russia was premised on "raw, unanalyzed and uncorroborated intelligence." The investigation, the report concluded, had no "actual evidence of collusion" to justify its launch, and the actions from the Department of Justice and FBI "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law."
Waters emerged as an early proponent of the Russia collusion theory. She introduced legislation to investigate Trump over collusion claims less than a month after his inauguration. She later called for his impeachment.
"I will fight every day until he is impeached," Waters said in April 2017. "Impeach 45."
The Durham probe concluded the core problem with the launch of the Russia collusion investigation, which was titled "Crossfire Hurricane," was that it relied on information from sources openly opposed to Trump's presidency.
"In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents," the report stated. "The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them, even..."

The Durham report contradicts EVERYONE’S allegation that Trump was colluding with Russia.
The report just confirmed everything that those of us who followed carefully each and every allegation had said all along. With each report of the “walls closing in” many of us were able to refute those reports with facts. We were ignored, often-times even by Freepers, who insisted that there simply MUST be something to the allegations.
As a meme recently said, “When there is smoke, there is fire...and sometimes it’s caused by arson”. That’s what we had with the Russia/Trump collusion conspiracy. There was fire, but it was caused by arson, and was actually burning down the house next door. Meanwhile, the firefighters were spraying water on the house that was not burning.
Maxine Waters, is a nutter.... period!
She knew he was innocent and the phony evidence was part of the setup with her pal Hillary.
She is a lying crone.
And she gets away with it.
.
How many millions did we spend on those two investigations? Some lawyer should launch a class action suit on behalf of US taxpayers against Clinton, et al, who started this whole mess.
Her day will come. Satan is wringing his hands.
I guarantee you, is in collusion with the Russians to undermine our democracy,” Waters said in September 2017.”
Tapper is a gullible fool to have believed Waters. It’s so infuriating that we knew Russia was a deep state operation in 2017 and here in 2023 Tapper wakes up. Now wake up to the fake impeachments, the CCP Covid bio attack, 2020 election steal, J6 Reichstag Fire and post steal persecution of Trump.
Since the perps in this fraud and crime against Trump and US taxpayers are getting away with wrongdoing it means that they will keep the wrongdoing going. And they have certainly done that.
Most people no longer respect or trust the American Government who has totally become traitorous. They have shredded the US Constitution and have sold us out to globalist interests.
I do not want to hear any Proud to be American songs anymore. Because I no longer am proud of this country. It is a disgrace.
They got people to help steal 2020 on the lies of 2016
That woman needs to be tried for treason and HANGED!
There are millions of Americans who simply cannot wrap their heads around the possibility -- becoming reality more every day -- that the government they thought all their lives protected them is a criminal syndicate run out of Washington, D.C. that cares nothing about them at all.
Absolutely true.
Don’t forget my Congresswoman Schiff.
100%
Huh…..haven’t heard too much from Maxine lately. Could she be winding down?
Max is a rich nutter.
Waters is a friggin’ retard. The only reason she’s in Congress is because she’s too stupid to clean motel rooms.
“There are millions of Americans who simply cannot wrap their heads around the possibility — becoming reality more every day — that the government they thought all their lives protected them is a criminal syndicate run out of Washington, D.C. that cares nothing about them at all.”
And they ignore and excuse it even as more and more evidence piles up each day showing evidence of corruption in every agency and avenue of our federal government. The majority of state governments are the same.
Local governments (the people) are going to have to take back control of their own government one small step at a time if our nation is going to survive. We have started with the school boards (a good place to begin), but are going to have to move quickly to take over city and county government boards if we are going to make a difference.
I’m not surprised anymore these politicians get away with encouraging riots and worse.
Nothing ever happens to them except getting re elected.
