Page 17 - Credibility Issue News Today

Technical violations the obama campaign committed and every other campaign committed, failure to report a contribution by the candidate itself is essentially jaywalking. then you have the credibility issue. >> yep. >> when you have somebody who himself admits that he is a liar. remember as judge ellis said, what you have when you squeeze somebody, when you tell somebody, you have two choices. you can die in prison, or you can give me evidence that we can use against somebody else. the temptation...

American people because he has now corrected his statements, changed his version of events over and over again when it comes to these payments, as david just pointed out. he is saying one thing to fox, caught on tape saying something else entirely, all of it different than he said on air force one. if we are talking about the credibility of witnesses involved in all of this stuff, the president has a credibility issue of his own. he always played it fast and loose with the facts. but i think one...

Laws are vague or theres some reason that this contribution to the campaign, which is clear is what it was, is somehow unenforceable. if the president were not the president, he would be indicted very soon if he hadnt been already. >> no, thats not true. >> why? >> any candidate has the right to contribute unlimited amounts to his own campaign. any candidate -- it may sound terrible, and it may be terrible. but any candidate has the right to pay hush money to somebody to influence the outcome of...

Questions this morning. he is expected to be asked about his relationship with bruce ohr who is under fire for his ties to fusion gps under obama. he is set to testify behind closed doors on the 28th. jillian: the paul manafort case in the hands of the jury, the verdict could come down today, the jury must decide on 18 individual counts. lawyers from both sides pointed to the testimony of roy gates, and former employee and star witness for prosecutors has a credibility issue, for bank fraud and ...

What occurred at the trump tower meeting with don jr.? you know so there is a whole range of issues, but, you know, i think if i were mueller, i would want, if i were interviewing omarosa, id want some incontrovertible evidence as in a tape recording that i could use, because she obviously has a credibility issue. >> bob mueller doesnt go on a fishing expedition, if there is something he can cc her about, its what she knows. >> everyone stands by, a quick commercial break. we are waiting for the...

Whole other sort of strategy? >> extreme arrogance on one hand. theyre hinging the entire case that the jury will see a lack of credibility of rick gates, think to themselves heres somebody that embezzled, lied to the fbi, adu adu adultaress. you know who testifies against pimps? prostitutes. mob bosses or how about co-conspirators in cases? the idea of the perfectly pristine, credible witness is not there but theyre thinking that the documents will be essentially undermined by that credibility ...

Not so much with the republicans. even less so with his base and with voters who were well aware of this type of language, even arguably worse things he said about all women. the "access hollywood" tape in particular. voters, particularly, again, and his base were willing to turn the other cheek. the question is, after two full years of this, will their distaste for him be more motivating to get him to go out to the polls and vote for democrats, or will they distance their republican representat...

It seriously -- ive known omarosa for 30 years. i dont give credence to anything she says. every character in this book, in this play, in this reality show has a credibility issue. and yes, she has a tape, but i know for a fact she edited my tape. so whos to say what she did there? now, the issue is, she says, you know, her reputation will be damaged. her reputation was damaged a long time ago. in the clinton years, they said she had sharp elbows. i knew her then, and i didnt know her as that pe...

Intervening and inserting himself into the questioning and making sure its an expeditious proceeding is trying to tell him why are you asking those questions? if you call rick gates it will be irrelevant and the prosecutor has every right to build his case the way he sees fit and not hinge his case on one witness. the other reason is now after opening statements the prosecution is well aware of the defenses strategy. that theyre going to do a he said/he said game and rely on the jury believing t...

It seems that he says there were other people in the room. lets see if there were. if there were no other people, hen it becomes a credibility issue. there are issues involving lawyer-client privilege. did he learn that from his client? we dont know enough to assess that. but right now if thats all cohen has to offer, i doubt hell get immunity based on that. and if they have the tapes, they dont really need him. so if i were cohens lawyer, i would be asking myself, had he given them enough to ge...
