i hope this is roy kohn cloned. you know why? roy kohn was identified as a crook and a fraud. he was disbarred by the new york state bar association and we august know that roy coinkohn w identified as somebody defrauding his clients. we're being defrauded by our attorney, the attorney general, because he has walked away from us. the american people are supposed to be his client. he has abandoned us and gone over to the president. >> and it is such a good and ominous point, matt. if the president is happy with his attorney general, we already know from the president's statements that what he wanted in an attorney general was someone who protected him personally. and we also know from multiple news organizations that one of the things that don mcgahn stopped was donald trump's desire to investigate and prosecute his enemies, hillary clinton and jim comey. so if he likes william barr, what is william barr doing that we don't know about? >> i think that it is what we don't know about and what we know about. he is doing both of those things. i think that bill barr is by far the mos

roy kohn accused the doj once against and the assisting fbi gestapo-like tactics and habled t labels who was trying to justify the trump racism by talking about gestapo-like tactics. does that sound familiar for a president and an attorney general that talks about the fbi, quote, spying? it is the same thing reason cohn was saying in the '70s. >> and not a new narrative. remember, he said that before congress under questioning back in april. he believed that there was spying on the trump campaign and now given all the evidence of the nearly two year ig report from his own justice department, he continues on the narrative that there were spies. the president picks up on it last night as the senator said in his rally, there are spies inside my campaign. the report says that is garbage, that that is not true that that is a conspiracy theory and yet you have the president and attorney general working hand-in-hand to push that idea. senator, i want to ask you a question that i asked chris murphy here last week. the idea of the conventional wisdom has been that for many months the wrd woul

it is part of i think the donald trump defense that he learned from roy kohn years ago, the celebrateduse sayinsayin accusation. and if you get punched, punch back. >> and let's go to the prosecutors who are now asking to have giuliani's associate lev parnas bail revoked after he concealed that $1 million pavement that he got from russia. so these connections from russia keep popping up. especially in the ukraine scandal. first of all, why is it a big deal that lev parnas got money from russia? >> when parnas was arrested and he was released on bail, he had to first disclose all of his assets because the judge and the prosecutors want to set a fair bail that will be sure to keep him in this country. so he signs under oath an affidavit laying out all of his assets. and he seems to have forgotten that million dollars that came from russia that he used to buy a house and pay a bunch of other personal expenses having to do with his wife. the prosecutors are right to say that this is a fairly shocking breach on his part. and it is also at a time when parnas was frankly asking the judge to r
