eric swallwell said this. >> it's not appropriate. manafort was a cooperator. sounds like he's breached his agreement with the government. it's not the way that innocent people conduct themselves. if the president was not colluded with russia why is he colluding with paul manafort to get a window into the special counsel's investigation? >> in talking about how the white house is defending itself today or how they are responding, rudy giuliani, one of the president's lawyers in a text to nbc news is saying the special counsel was treating manafort like he was a terrorist. incarcerating him before trial. calling him solitary incarceration and repeatedly questioning him even after manafort denied things. then he claims the special counsel was willing to exert unusual pressure.
