Sense of balance, even though i was sitting. that day signaled to me that this would be a completely different orientation to communication, to facts. >> thank you guys for being here tonight. i will see you on monday. >> sean! can we ask -- sean? >> it was a head-shaker. >> former press secretaries say it was the day spicer sacrificed his credibility. >> to call a special briefing and the first thing you go out there and do is attack the press for the coverage that was accurate. and right off t...

>> former press secretaries say it was the day spicer sacrificed his credibility. >> to call a special briefing and the first thing you go out there and do is attack the press for the coverage that was accurate. and right off the bat, you have a credibility problem. >> about that day, spicer now says, "if i could have a do-over, i would take it." but the tone was set. >> this was the fourth time. >> it was a different question. >> thank you, youve asked the question eight times. why are you aski...

Troops in afghanistan. how concerned are you with that decision? >> on a scale of one to ten, probably a 12 or 14. it is a major national security problem for america. general mattis had the respect of congress, of the american people, of our allies. he was looked at as one of the most effective individuals in the white house when the national security team could influence the president, when his policies were moving in the wrong direction. he was -- he spoke his mind. he was very effective at t...

This investigation. >> if he did have contact with assange or wikileaks and know about the e-mails and take the trump e-mails, they said theres your collusion right there. now hes going to say i was just making an educated guess about what was going to happen but he has a credibility problem here and i think thats the perjury part of it. the question is did he purger himself before congress? if he did purger himself, it gives mueller some leverage over stone, whether he will respond is a differe...

Are saying two different things. there are more people who back up michael cohens version of events than there are who back up donald trumps. >> mr. rucker, you just wrote about the presidents troubles there in washington, "the washington post." trumps falsehoods on hush money payments are coming home to roost. what did your sources tell you, phil? >> well, craig, theres a problem here with the presidents credibility because if you go back to the beginning of this year, he had his spokespeople a...

Ronald reagan about this point in 1983 was at 35%. the fact is that macron the wonder boy of france iss now down to 25 or 26%. and just had the worst riots in paris in 50 n years. so, the whole notion that mueller is now the person who is going to go out and save america by destroying the president, i think is an anticonstitutional effort by the organized left. >> sean: john solomon just breaks this sorry. we knew they didnt verify the dossier and it was not corroborated, which is part of their ...

But i think here michael cohen has a credibility problem. its like that old perry mason series that said were you lying then or are you lying now? michael cohen has a track record of giving false statements, whether that was initially to the mueller team, or perhaps hes lying now to save his own hide. >> guy lewis, how big a deal is that when you look at the shift of what weve seen with what michael cohen has been saying? >> that is a good point. because cohen does make for a challenging witness...

Manaforts activities leading up to the campaign and thereafter. >> hurts him as a witness if there were to be any prosecution. he is someone who you know has a credibility problem. right? >> well sure. he is not somebody thats going to be believed. mueller presumably has quite a lot of information from many other cooperating witnesses and possibly things like electronic surveillance like i mentioned. >> then comes the second possibility. that is that mueller has caught manafort lying, concealing...

This. but he has a credibility problem. he has a history of lying. he has pled guilty to lying to the investigators here. and we all remember even when he was in jail and he was facing a criminal trial, he was using his e-mail in violation of the rules and doing things that suggest he was being less than transparent with the special counsels office, which has really got him in a lot of hot water there. >> you spoke to rnlg rnudy giul dana, the presidents personal lawyer. what did he say? >> hes ...

How it impeded their plea agreement or their investigation at this point. we will see all of that laid out the same way we did with george papadopoulos. whats kear y is that mueller ks manafort lied. lets not forget manafort was the subject of two fisa orders before he entered the campaign. im guessing that mueller has quite a lot of information on manaforts activities leading up to the campaign and thereafter. >> hurts him as a witness if there were to be any prosecution. he is someone who you ...
