A motley crew of Clinton-era political stars — including Rudy Giuliani, Alan Dershowitz and Mark Penn — and a gaggle of pro-Trump House Republicans are hitting Capitol Hill, cable and the web to trash Mueller, the FBI and the media. Hour by hour, these voices try to chip away at the case against Trump and the justification for it all. this concerted effort — orchestrated by Trump, and conducted outside of the White House — is to smear Mueller, muddy the waters, and make the investigation a red vs. blue issue. If that happens, Trump wins.
