they can be threatened, leader of the country >> and it's shocking for a president, frank figliuzzo,ehavior we're used to seeing about behavior in mob families. what does it say to you he's roughi roughing up. his wife ran as a democrat so apparently the recusal issue doesn't work both ways here. >> no surprise but still stunning. >>> coming up, the college senior that trump promoted to a senior white house position and the office in charge of the post impeachment purge. that story next. do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. an annuity helps cover your essential monthly expenses, so you're free to live the life you want. find out how an annuity can give you lifetime income at protectedincome.org find out how an annuity can give you lifetime income we can't calculate our total taxes? do you realize how many different taxes we pay? sales tax, different p-o-s systems in all seven countries. and

. >> is frank figliuzzo with us right now? what does this look like in the fbi? so rudy and pompeo write on napkins. lindsey graham just announced on national television rudy gave the same stack to the country's attorney general. do they pdf it and hand it to chris wray? what does this look like inside the fbi? >> first, i'd like the establish my own process. it's a conspiracy hotline. please dial 1-800-utter bs. usual spelling for bs. if you have a concocted conspiracy theory proven wrong by our entire intelligence community and proven to be russian propaganda, please call 1-800-utter bs. lin seriousness we don't know the extent, if any, to which the fbi is actually going to be involved in vetting this nonsense. we have an agency that investigates this stuff. it is the fbi. lin -- in all seriousness the attorney general is saying i'm going to have my own investigation on the origins of the russia case. i can't trust the fbi to vet what rudy's doing. i've gaurt this. let's not trust our institutions. that's what's the most disturbing thing of all of this. the ame

. >> frank, figliuzzo, let me give you the last word and read more of the interview. barr defended his actions and said it had nothing to do with the president. nothing. said he was supportive of stone's convictions and still believed in jurys. i guess that's good. but thought the sentencing recommendations of seven to nine years was excessive. isn't that -- i mean, they didn't make it up. should we expect legislation to change the sentencing guidelines in this country? >> no, we can't because its to the fit the president's friends or enemies. so, you can't have legislation that says the following guidelines apply if you're a friend of trump and here's a separate guideline if you're an enemy. remember michael cohen when he was asked how do you know the president wants something done a certain way? did he tell you verbally? and he says no, you just know after spending time with him, he gives you a head nod. so when he says i did this all by myself. nonsense. i'm not buying that. have a culture of eroding the rule of law and kowtowing foothis president. pompeo knows it,

. >> frank figliuzzo, i want to read something from the letter you signed today almost in spirit and a mirror of what donald has written in "the atlantic." "we call on every doj employee tee b to be ready to report future abuses, to withdraw from cases that involve such directives or other misconduct and if necessary, resign and report publicly in a manner consistent to the american people for reasons for their resignation. ." frank. >> i didn't take this decision to sign this letter lightly, nicolle. but the time has come to let the current doj employees know we are with them, but not only that, we're at a time in history that calls for people to do more than casual observers. and that includes the folks working at doj, trying to preserve justice right now. as four of their colleagues expressed recently where they may need to speak out publicly or resign their position. rather than years from now have to tell their grand kids they sit idly by watching the rule of law erode. and that's exactly what the attorney general is doing. he's no longer merely enabling the president to destroy
