Expected that. >> reporter: support us call him an institutionalist and spoke about the importance of fairness at a federalist society event in 2018. >> once an investigator is reve revealed to be biased, its hard to trust the integrity of the process. >> reporter: skill set was deemed so valuable that he was added to the intelligence committee so that he could participate in these hearings. still, some republicans said he could have been tougher, pointing out that jim jordan, the ohio republica...

I think hes going to be beyond pardon at some appointmenpoint theres some state offenses that hes involved in that trump cannot pardon him from and it may stack up so heavy that just in the federal case that the president cant touch it either. >> and what do you make, greg, of the fact that were finding out here, when you take these two filings together from mueller, about the timing here? were talking about manafort, that theyre saying in here that manafort had text conversations with administr...

District asking for a long sentence, more than three and a half years here. greg, let me ask you, though, in this filing from mueller, it is very clear, from what they are saying in here, that cohen is playing a role in the russia investigation, which is beyond, above and beyond the moscow tower. right? were talking about russia related matters, plural, core to the investigation, contacts with persons connected to the white house from 2017 and 2018. >> right. all of these recent filings, the man...

Something different. and of course, theyve tried to play this rudy giuliani, especially, has tried to play this in the court of public opinion, to try to sway the public towards the presidents side. but now, as we see, whats happening tonight and what we expect to come, it doesnt look good and it looks like it could be totally different from what rudy giuliani and the president has said. >> greg, what do you make of the fact that paul manafort says hes going to cooperate? hes been convicted. not...
