Jake Tapper: politicians and governments lie

Jake Tapper: "I think we need to be skeptical of everything people in power tell us.
And I mean, that should obviously be the mantra of being a journalist from the very beginning.
If your mother says she loves you, get a second source.

But we just need to remember this: politicians lie. White Houses lie.
Power is an aphrodisiac.
And we all need to remember that and not take anything they say as the truth."
