. >>> attorney general bill barr facing calls to resign and a major new allegation leveled against him from a key prosecutor who worked for bob mueller and who resigned the doj in protest. now we're learning more because this prosecutor bluntly stating, bill barr's doj used ill proper political influence to go easy on long time trump adviser roger stone. his prosecutor saying trump's pressure ensured he was treated differently from any other defendant. pause right there. a respected nonpartisan prosecutor is doing something that i can tell you was pretty rare. blowing the whistle based on what they saw inside the room on this evidence which, if you follow the news, already looked bad outside the room. he's repeated blatant efforts to help trunlmp's allies to underc the mueller probe. do you ever wonder how these efforts even work? we're getting new clues into that as well. sometimes it can be with bill barr, very heavy handed. the same prosecutor revealing doj warnings that his team dealing with stone were warned, they could lose their job if they didn't tow the line. this is a bombshell and it's coming from one of the few pe

barr again suggesting he's intervened. often the hypothesis doesn't pin out, and you narrow your indictment down to what you can prove and call it a day. instead of bob fever dream. the stone is a key cog in the collision wheel, and, i really think we look at the objective here, and attorney general barr in anticipation in the durham investigation is probably winding to a conclusion, or at least a critical decision in weeks if not at least a couple of months. but they are trying to do is derivatively destroy that information and then charges it would come up with by going after the attorney general. everything is being blown out of proportion. this is really much ado about nothing, and that sentencing guidelines and enhancement and the difference between whether stone should have been sentenced to what he got which was 40 months, or something closer to nine years which was what the prosecutors recommended and what the sentencing guidelines would have gone for. so ultimately the court came out exactly where attorney general barr was in a case where the court knew a lot about the case, because judge jackson had presided over the trial. i think that you

bob mueller really didn't accomplish? we still don't know why flynn lied. this was a mueller case. the prosecution, mike flynn, that barrof, the way he did out of mueller's initial conclusions. what are the chances that one federal judge can sort of land on the side of the rule of law in way that no one else has so far with trump and barr? >> well look, i think the judge here and this annuity arby tor. i think they can shine the light on this corruption. they can call it out. call it for what it is. but at the end of the day, donald trump could just pardon mike flynn and i actually predict that's what's going to happen. donald trump will try to get barr to do his dirty work but if he doesn't succeed, believe me, a pardon is coming. >> unbelievable state of affairs. i hope he does that shining the light on the corruption part. thank you for spending some time with us. great to see you. after the break, does this seem like a free and fair election to you? lines to vote in georgia yesterday stretching endlessly. the voting technology failing. it all leads to an important question. are we anywhere close to ready for free an
