Three House Republicans publicly undermining FBI have been in talks with Trump about Mueller probe:

Report

Three House Republicans who are leading a public insurgency against special counsel Robert Mueller have been in contact with the White House and Donald Trump, Business Insider reports.

In recent weeks, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) have all spoken with Trump—and have all expressed concern, or outright indignation, with Mueller’s probe.

In a lengthy interview with CNN’s John Berman Wednesday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) intimated he’s been in contact with the White House about Mueller’s investigation into the Trump campaign and transition team.

“Have you had conversations, or has your office had conversations, with the White House about the Mueller investigation?” Berman asked.

Jordan, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee alongside Gaetz and DeSantis, told Berman he speaks with the White House “about all kinds of things.

Trump and the Republicans are the government right now. They’re following the Putin model of Fascism - throw enough doubt on any threatening story against Trump that the investigation will be impossible. It will be branded a “witch hunt by the enemies of the people.”

Eventually, due to fierce persecution by the government and hatred by the misinformed public, the entire judicial structure and media capitulate to the government. Trump has made it clear he wants a puppet placed as the head of the FBI who will turn a blind eye to or be an accessory to the nasty things he’s going to do once he secures total power.

The word for what they are is “collaborators.”

At what point does Fox enter the picture? Are they simply repeating and embellishing on what the conspirators pass on to them? Or are they active participants in developing the plot? I'm guessing the latter, maybe even the prime movers.
