Because so much of this is different. we're always comparing, what do we learn from nixon, from archibald cox? this is totally different. let's just take a moment to take this in on the screen. when you think about all of the other big federal probes of sitting presidents, we can put this up, and you look at what happened, the pardon power in each of these big cases was used after the probe. the president himself getting one from ford. iran contra ending with pardons. george w. bush coming in and commuting the sentence, using his pardon power. now, with trump in this mueller probe and manafort...

Up on any indications from him, shadows or otherwise. i am joined tonight by one of those 81 people that has been pressed for documents, former trump adviser, sam nunberg. he's also, of course, spoken to mueller's investigators. nick ackerman and former u.s. attorney, barbara mcquade, now a law professor at the university of michigan. at the risk of being a little too 2019, i will note, barbara, that you are back in a panel with mr. nunberg, who was more or less advised to comply with the document request from mueller, which, sam, you ultimately did. >> yes, sir. >> people remember that. >> ba...
