Shep Smith: There's a 'concerted effort' for Fox News guests to warn Trump against Mueller interview

Fox News’ Shepard Smith said on his show Wednesday that there’s a push to have guests on television shows, including those on Fox News, warn President Trump against interviewing with special counsel Robert Mueller.

“There appears to be a concerted effort to put a bunch of people on television, having seen those questions, and to say into the television — like this channel — ‘don’t do it Mr. President, don’t do it,” Smith said, referring to the recently leaked list of questions Mueller reportedly plans to ask Trump in a potential interview.

Reuters reporter Jeff Mason, a guest on Smith’s show, noted that Trump is known for watching television.



“He’s got a lot of surrogates as we call them, or friends out there who speak for him or speak on behalf of his advisers,” Mason said.

that the surest way to make sure Trump actually does something is to tell him he can't or shouldn't do it?

It breaks my heart that one of the greatest actors of his generation is so easily linked to our current president by this portrayal of a simplistic idiot put into an extrodinary situation.
