news, you know, bashing the mueller investigation, calling it the mueller crime family. is there any doubt in your mind that this is coordinated by the white house to discredit the special counsel? >> yes, it is coordinated. we know that because hannity and trump speak frequently. the president also speaks with other conservative media commentators frequently. he meets with them, talks with them, dines with them at the white house and mar-a-lago. it's an absolutely coordinated effort all part of an alternative universe of information. the president props up an alternative reality where he's winning, his enemies are losing, where mueller's corrupt, and where this investigation needs to be disbanded. that's the alternative universe, that parts of fox, the "national enquirer" that's been in the news, sinclair commentators, these right-wing media outlets prop up this alternative universe. and, look, that's fine in some ways. i love reading fiction novels.
