To show that maybe the opposite has occurred, i think is a little bit of a credibility problem. i think james comey is a smart guy. but the problem that he has gotten himself into now and with his book marathon he is going on is just impossible to add a letter credibility. >> it james comey in your assessment, has basically wrecked his own credibility, is there a dad or dots to be put together for the investigation for mr. mueller? >> i dont know. i think robert mueller is, physical i believe he...

Through it from all kinds of corporate clients -- >> right. hold on one second. he did sayt was for real estate. on his document setting up -- >> and other consulting. >> he did? real estate and other consulting and stormy daniels is consulting? >> it also appears that the first major transaction seems to have been the stormy daniels payment to the skentd that the central consultant which happened before. >> which happened before the money from columbus, so it would be about being repaid or remu...

Says actually he did. i think that while trying to rescue his client from perhaps the campaign violation charge he has created a political credibility problem for him and he is all over the airwaves. thats not necessarily a good thing for donald trump. >> we know that, in fact, lawyers do this. you have billions of dollars and high-powered clients. you can pay somebody for something and have expenses without your client knowing the dynamic, which is one of your jobs is to protect your client fro...

Deniability about knowing what the payment was for. so i know you have this money. i know you use it to deal with problems, but i dont know exactly what kind of problems and i dont know if it really was during the campaign. so he is trying to distance trump from that payment. the problem with that is first of all, as we know politically and to the public, the story keeps changing. it looks really bad. there is a credibility problem. but also, under the law, there is a saying that you cant stick ...

Daniels that was paid to stormy daniels. take a listen to this. >> the no refers to when the payment occurred. thats very important here. theres a fast moving exchange. i asked the president what he meant and he said, i didnt know about it when the payment occurred. i think youre overcomplicating that very simple point. >> with all of the different answers that weve heard from giuliani, from the president, from kellyanne conway, does the white house have a credibility crisis on its hand right no...

Wasnt describingscribing the presidents knowledge of reimbursement, did giuliani help clarify or make it worse? >> no, he obviously made it worse. let me just be really clear, there was nobody who actually believed that michael cohen just voluntarily paid $130,000 out of his own pocket without any sort of reimbursement plans. i have a lot of friends, michael is a friend of mine, he would have a hard time getting a thousand dollars out of me -- julie: i wouldnt lend that to kelly and hes a good b...

Amassed. remember, these questions came before the raid on michael cohens office. >> right. >> so theres also a lot of additional evidence, we dont know what that evidence says. certainly any prosecutor would want to have the benefit of the interview for a couple of reasons, one, to assess credibility, although i think we already know from the public record trump has a very large credibility problem, but also that they want to be able to test some of what theyve heard and see what the other side...

The white house now asking what and who you can believe and thats a real problem. joining us now, a cnn political analyst and caitlin huey burns. rudy giuliani is making clear, he told cnn yesterday, i didnt tell the white house i was doing this. which the white house is telling us we were blindsided by this right now. and now theyre being forced to clean it up. it just goes to show we always talk about the disarray here, but the white house has a serious problem with making a consistent argumen...

Arrested in april and may 2017 on president trumps watch. >> two were held on trumps watch. >> why does he not want them? >> the gravitational pull to blame everything on obama. look, hes made great progress under his watch. but the two folks who were taken, thats on him, not on the previous administration. also, the hostage situations tran accepted whoever is president right now. this is bluster, chest beating. it does create a credibility problem. facts matter. second, rudy got over his skis b...

Those answers. >> the thing -- the irony of all of this, from my point of view, is that rudy giuliani went out on his own and did this. maybe he talked to the president, maybe he didnt talk to the president. but he clearly did not know what the law and the facts were related to federal elections commission and they have right there as the white house counsel don mcgahn who is a federal election law specialist, thats what he knows better than any other area of law. and all giuliani had to do was ...
