Testimony is now in conflict that written statement. >> catherine, thank you very much. republican congressman chris stewarts serves on the house intelligence committee and a perfect guest to talk with us about. it was wholly inappropriate. if, in fact, rosenstein threatened staffers for all of their materials. is it just inappropriate? he says it crosses the line. is it criminally inappropriate? what line is it crossing? >> im not an attorney and i cant answer that question but, one thing i can...
