JAKE TAPPER (HOST): One of the things that we've heard in the Republican convention has been about crime in America. Now crime obviously, violent crime, horrific, but just empirically, according to FBI statistics, crime rates have been going down for decades. How can the Republicans make the argument that somehow it's more dangerous today when the facts don't back that up? 

PAUL MANAFORT: People don't feel safe in their neighborhoods. I'm not sure what statistics you're talking about. But I know for a fact the information we see -- 

TAPPER: FBI statistics. 

MANAFORT: Well the FBI certainly is suspect these days after what they just did with Hillary Clinton. But as far as crime in the neighborhoods, people don't feel safe. They're not safe in their neighborhoods and the crime that you see is because no one feels as if the system is protecting their interest. We think it's an issue that's contrast very strongly with what Obama has done in the White House and what Clinton stands for, and we're going to be talking about it tonight. 

TAPPER: I wasn't talking about feelings. I was just talking about the facts of actual violent crime.
