Everybody went out and spoke ahead of the president and was saying were going to go after them, were going to go get them. so i think there was kind of a fear of something going on. and, you know, sean hannity, i have to say, he was like a shadow adviser. i spoke to him all the time. i sat with him prior to interviews he would do with the president. and he definitely advised the president on many, many things to do. so it didnt surprise me that he was reaching out to meadows or anybody else. tha...
