the public that the president was not under the investigation. the president, having you not tell the public, felt like this is stacked against me. that was the initiating thing that made him so paranoid. >> i heard the attorney general say that. and i don't think it's a fair summary of the evidence. that may be his motive. but a lot of people commit crimes in this country because they're frustrated and they're angry. that isn't the question. the question is, when he did the things he did, was he intending to obstruct justice. he may have a motive and that's not the key question. >> have you been surprised by bill barr's summary letter? >> yes. >> what surprised you? >> it struck me, especially after i read the mueller report, that it was misleading. it was inaccurate to summarize that work. >> what was misleading about what the attorney general said? >> it gave the impression that bob mueller was not going to

ago. i would encourage people to read it. you say, how can mr. barr, a bright and accomplished lawyer say these things. and you talk about rod rosenstein. and it says, proximity to an amoral leader, eats your soul. >> it makes you complicit by your silence. in meetings with him, his assertions about what everyone thinks and what is obviously true, washes over you unchallenged. i'm curious to nora's question, were you at home mad one day and thinking, i have to say something? >> i was depressed, watching people of accomplishment, very bright people, acting in ways that are shocking. the deputy attorney general quoting donald trump on the rule of law. really? a lot of folks were asking me, what happened to these people?
