Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is letting Dr. Anthony Fauci speak for himself through a massive collection of "diary" entries during the peak years of the COVID pandemic — and the results have been potentially disastrous for Fauci's apparently carefully curated public image and for some of his associates.
And those associates, it appears, extend well into the fourth estate.
'Jake clearly believes that Trump is totally nuts.'
Blaze News previously reported on the damning new documents exposing Fauci as an apparent fame-obsessed megalomaniac.
However, a name from the mainstream media also continued to appear in the more than 1,100 pages of documents: CNN anchor Jake Tapper.
"Had dinner at my home with Jake and Jennifer Tapper. Relaxed, good time. Jake clearly believes that Trump is totally nuts," reads an entry dated October 23, 2020.

A review of the documents revealed a disturbing pattern of cooperation between Fauci and Tapper. For example, Fauci wrote a similar entry dated July 1, 2020, in which he explicitly describes their association as a "friendship."
"Had dinner over Jake Tapper and Jen Tapper's home in D.C. Terrific couple. Friendship building," Fauci wrote, according to the documents released by Sen. Paul.
And, of course, as is the nature of many friendships in politics, this friendship apparently served some utility during the pandemic.
In the April 13, 2020, entry, Fauci recorded that he had a phone call with Jake Tapper. He wrote that "Jake wanted to make sure the interview did not cause me any problems." Fauci had appeared on Jake Tapper's show, "State of the Union," the day before.
Almost exactly a month later, on May 14, 2020, Fauci recorded that there was some "confusion" related to vaccines and school closure. With regard to his messaging in the media, Fauci wrote, "Chris Cuomo and Jake Tapper are trying to clarify this in my defense on their shows."
In another surprising entry, on July 26, 2020, Fauci appears to say that he fed questions to Jake Tapper to correct the narrative about testing as COVID deaths spiked. The entry is worth quoting at some length:
5th Day in a row for 1000 deaths/day. Brett Giroir on Tapper (State of the Union) talking bulls**t about testing with Jake pressing him. I gave Jake some questions to ask him. Mark Meadows on This Week with George Stephanopoulos saying that public health measures are not working and we will have to rely on interventions such as vaccines and therapeutics. This is his way of backing out of a failure and trying to get an “October Surprise.” Heads up for him trying to push an early approval of vaccine or even influencing the decision about convalescent sera, which actually do not look too good right now.
Fauci is scheduled to give testimony before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on Wednesday morning.
CNN declined to provide a comment to Blaze News. Representatives for Jake Tapper likewise declined to comment.

The Supreme Court's decision to allow the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for many Haitian migrants has triggered serious outrage from the left — and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales can’t help but notice the glaring issues in leftist logic.
“Now, seems like it would be kind of common sense. It’s in the name. It’s the T in TPS. Temporary. Temporary. There is an actual definition of the word 'temporary.' It means 'not forever,'” Gonzales says, pointing out that they were supposed to have this status for months, but instead they have had it for nearly two decades.
“Democrats, Haitians, anyone who has the liberal brain rot — they're losing their entitled little minds about it,” she adds.
Founder and CEO of the Immigrant Family Services Institute Dr. Geralde Gabeau yelled to crowd cheers, “This is the time for all of us to raise our voices and to say this country is also our country, is also the country of our immigrant because we are the one who built it.”
“I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to ask you for your receipts, ma’am,” Gonzales comments.
“'Haitians built this country' is the argument that they made,” she adds.
However, celebrities have historically made their home sound like a place no one should want to leave, as Susan Sarandon, Conan O’Brien, and even Bill Maher all have donned shirts that read “Haiti is great already.”
“They were pretending like it was just this wonderful, beautiful country; it’s not a third-world s**t-hole,” Gonzales comments. “And now all of a sudden, they’re back to like, ‘No, no, you can’t send them back. No, don’t do that. It’s too big of a s**t-hole.’”
And CNN’s Jake Tapper is among those pleading.
“I heard Stephen Miller, who’s driving a lot of this, say that Haiti is safe for Haitians, and I just looked at the State Department’s website, and they have a level four 'do not travel' advisory for Haiti just from a few months ago,” Tapper said on CNN.
“Crimes include robbery, carjacking, sexual assault, and kidnappings for ransom. That doesn’t sound safe to me,” Tapper added.
“'Do not travel' is not for Haitians. That’s 'do not travel' for the United States. That advisory is to American citizens traveling to Haiti, not Haitians going back home,” Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told Tapper.
“I understand that, but based on everything I’ve read, including the U.N. and Human Rights Watch, it doesn’t sound safe for Haitians. More than 8,100 killings documented last year. Those weren’t Americans. Haiti is among the top five countries with the highest rates of rape and sexual abuse, with more than 1,200 cases of sexual violence last year,” Tapper replied.
“So Haitians are making Haiti unsafe, and somehow we are expected to import them. These are criminals,” Gonzales comments.
“Why would it be our duty to import anyone from any unsafe country in the world?” she asks. “The obvious conclusion is you are only going to make our country less safe.”

Fauci and Tapper built an intimate relationship.
Diary entries from Fauci reveal that many of the 'journalists' reporting on Fauci were nothing more than highly paid propagandists who were defending and privately praising, flattering, and soliciting his guidance on how to do their jobs.
