michael flynn, roger stone. the idea that there hasn't been at least some discussion of what happens to trump associates as they go through the justice system, again, that strains credulity. he started to answer. he held back and he corrected himself. and then he went forward saying there had been no direct contact from the president. but he didn't say there had been no contact or no pressure at all. >> right. both really important pieces we wanted to show. we have more from the hearing, so our guests, our experts stay. but let me show you a little bit about these questions on use of force because in the wake of all the clashes between protesters in portland, the feds that have been deployed around the country, here was the attorney general evading some important issues in that line of questioning. >> do you think the response at lafayette square to tear gas, pepper spray and beat protesters and injure american citizens who were just simply exercising their first amendment rights was appropriate? >> well, first, it is my understanding that no tear gas was used on monday, june 1st. >> mr. barr, that is a semantic distinction that has been proven false by many fa
