Keeping them honest is far from clear, but is the whole framing of iticize a hys a hypothetical which is really interesting because the president actually flirted with admitting this meeting was about getting dirt on hillary clinton when the story first broke last year. listen to him on the 13th of july last year, standing next to the president of france. and that is after the president had dictated the air force one response claiming the meeting was about adoptions. >> i do think this. i think ...

So he is saying he didnt know he was not telling the truth. it was just bad information. bad information, which must have come from the president, who lied to his lawyer, or from someone else around the president who was lying, or had been lied to by the president. have you ever heard the old expression, scratch a lie, find a thief? i dont know if its true, but in this case you scratch one lie and you sure do start to find a whole bunch more. one more thing. if youre wondering what donald trump ...

Meeting. he didnt dictate the letter about the meeting. it was adoptions. it wasnt. it was never about hillary, it was. you pick a day and you have a different set of facts to work with. that was the other thing that scaramucci said thats accurate, you have to leave it up to the prosecutors to sort it out. i guarantee you ive known some of those investigators were 20 years, theyre very closed mouth. we wont know what will happen until the indictments come down. >> margaret, one of the thing that...

>> look, its a big problem fer him at every level. first of all, he is changing the story. remember, he was the one who drafted or dictated the statement on air force one, saying that it was about russian adoptions, which as you pointed out earlier is about sanctions. secondly, there is a legal issue here. if this dirt or so-called dirt on hillary clinton was exchanged, its illegal from a foreign country. and third, what is he doing tweeting about this as bob mueller is conducting an investigati...

Its about sanctions. not adoption. so even in that statement, the notion that this was a meeting about helping orphans, it just didnt hold water. then the very next day, the "new york times" reported it most certainly was about the campaign, specifically about getting kremlin dirt on hillary clinton. so then the story from don jr., then it again changed once "the times" reported that, hoping to seem transparent, don jr. you may remember released some e-mails showing this is exactly what he had b...

Lied to his lawyer, or from someone else around the president who was lying, or had been lied to by the president. have you ever heard the old expression, scratch a lie, find a thief? i dont know if its true, but in this case you scratch one lie and you sure do start to find a whole bunch more. one more thing. if youre wondering what donald trump jr. has to say about this now, he went on laura ingrahams radio show today. she played for him clips of him and others laming the meeting was about ado...

Gates testimony is expected today. prosecutors intend to question him for another three hours. christine and phil. >> kara in virginia. thank you. don junior is dismissing the trump tower meeting and accusing the russian of bait and swift. -- switch. don junior claiming that russians wanted to give dirt on hillary clinton, but when they got there, it was about adoptions. >> it was a 20-minute meeting. it was nothing relevant to any of these things. that is all it is. thats all they got. thats ...

Story is and the presidents tweets also reflect this, yeah, we were promised but they didnt deliver. so case closed. nothing to see here. here is how don jr. explained it last night -- >> thats not the premise that got them in the room. then it was essentially a bait and switch to talk about that. everyone has basically said that in testimony already. i mean, so this is nothing new. >> so, hes saying that when they got in the room they talked about adoptions, so no crime. >> this follows a patte...

Will it last? caitlyn collins joins me from new jersey, close to the president. hes not answering questions now. hes on vacation at his golf report. apparently his legal team is so concerned about at least one of the tweets this weekend, theyve asked him to stop writing altogether about this meeting. >> reporter: thats not exactly surprising given what the president tweeted this morning and just what a news cycle it created because it was the most explicit acknowledgment that his son and russian...

Admitting this meeting was about getting dirt on hillary clinton when the story first broke last year. listen to him on the 13th of july last year, standing next to the president of france. and that is after the president had dictated the air force one response claiming the meeting was about adoptions. >> i do think this. i think from a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting. its called opposition research, or even research into your opponent. politics is not the nicest ...
