Director of the fbi, james comey, in order to stop this investigation. he's repeatedly tried to fire robert mueller. he fired jeff sessions because jeff sessions wouldn't shut down the investigation. there's just no way that william barr can come into this job and oversee the investigation. he has to recuse. he's been appointed by the president at this juncture. if he thinks he's going to shut it down or control it in any way, it's not going to happen. if william barr does not recuse, he's going to be spending almost all of his time sitting in front of the united states house of representative...

Whatever he calls it. he's 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. wouldn't mind getting your take on that. >> i just think the president's out of control on twitter. today he's attacking robert mueller, yet again. he's completely out of control. he thinks he's going to shut this investigation down. either through twitter or through appointing an attorney general who's going...

But i think that you're seeing that more and more. so, yes, you know, there's no -- i know that i'm sure that many conservatives, many republicans would say that we've got a partisan grudge, that we want to go after the president. that's 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 can't ignore the evidence. >> congressman, good to see you tonight. congressman joaquin castro of texas, thank you for being here. the congressman just mentioned the third document tonight, this is the one i haven't talked about yet, this is the...

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 russia's interest in such a meeting." but i'm not done yet. there's 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, but mueller pulled out of that agreement and said manafort had been lying to prosecutors while feed...
