Cant cooperate after that. >> right. >> because under the rules, he still has a year to go before a federal district court judge and get his sentence reduced if he cooperates. >> right, although i dont know what a sentence for paul manafort means. kim wehle, talk legal stuff for a second. three filings tonight, one is the united states district of columbia, about manafort, put that aside for now. and then two filings, the thinner of the two is from muellers team, this is the special counsels rep...

Or as its called in one of these filings, one of the russians that they meet with, political synergy, which i feel is a pretty good synonym for collusion. i think eventually hes still out there tweeting no collusion. i think that eventually the evidence of collusion, mueller has left a lot of breadcrumbs that its there under those black bars. and eventually i feel like it will become undeniable. whether republicans continue to deny it -- >> we hope that happens before i grow an afro. >> i think ...

Still going to have a third of people who are apologizing for this president. you had die-hard nixon supporters until the very end. but i think that you might see republican support go into the 70s or even the 60s. >> i dont know that thats a good enough answer. i dont know -- i dont know how many more susan collins press conferences i can take while she plays hamlet. i dont know how much more i can hear from marco rubio or lindsey graham or all these people who want to get on tv and act like th...

Director of the fbi, james comey, in order to stop this investigation. hes repeatedly tried to fire robert mueller. he fired jeff sessions because jeff sessions wouldnt shut down the investigation. theres just no way that william barr can come into this job and oversee the investigation. he has to recuse. hes been appointed by the president at this juncture. if he thinks hes going to shut it down or control it in any way, its not going to happen. if william barr does not recuse, hes going to be ...

Whatever he calls it. hes been tweeting some pretty crazy stuff. i want to just, before i back into the william barr conversation, the president put out a tweet not long ago in which he said in reference to these reports, these sentencing reports, totally clears the president, thank you. wouldnt mind getting your take on that. >> i just think the presidents out of control on twitter. today hes attacking robert mueller, yet again. hes completely out of control. he thinks hes going to shut this in...

But i think that youre seeing that more and more. so, yes, you know, theres no -- i know that im sure that many conservatives, many republicans would say that weve got a partisan grudge, that we want to go after the president. thats not the case at all. folks are very reluctant to go down this path and are sobered by it. but at the same time you cant ignore the evidence. >> congressman, good to see you tonight. congressman joaquin castro of texas, thank you for being here. the congressman just...

Trump about trying to set up a meeting with putin. "the defendant admitted this account was false and that he had in fact conferred with individual one about contacting the russian government before reaching out to gauge russias interest in such a meeting." but im not done yet. theres one more thing. mueller also released a heavily redacted document involving paul manafort, the former trump campaign chair. as you recall, unlike cohen, manafort formally agreed to cooperate with the government, bu...
