So CNBC and New York Times “reporter” John Harwood, who was a moderator at one of the Republican debates, point-blank asked Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, “What should I ask Jeb?” He was asking before an interview with then Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush last September, according to the latest Podesta email batch from Wikileaks.
A reminder that John Harwood was allowed to moderate a GOP primary debate. https://t.co/iKHEgVYuGy – pic.twitter.com/o14LqlQAnL

Brit Hume weighed in.
Nothing wrong with talking with the opposition before doing an interview. But "what should I ask?" Good grief. https://t.co/GPuj2Yygzx

This is FAR from the first time something of this nature has been associated with Harwood.

You've got to be kidding me. And yes, John Harwood was accepted as a debate moderator. FFS. https://t.co/ZymG68lRKI

In which version of reality is this acceptable, @JohnJHarwood? https://t.co/maANSIFVFa

Perhaps, the GOP will someday refuse to participate in interviews and debates where the questioners are so obviously opposed to them and their positions, if not all-out working against them.
How is @JohnJHarwood still employed? https://t.co/3XYdHpJjQD
