Instructive. that strategy saved bill clinton in the 90s at a fearsome price because the media and democrats rallied behind him. "mr. trump cant count on the same from republicans and most of the media rant want him run out of office." that is the caveat to complete transparency here, which is that assumes that the president and anyone around him wouldnt pay a huge price for the difference between what was said before the disclosure and after the transparency. >> well, because look, this white h...

Evidence here that the media is reporting on, unearthing through investigative reporting that the president just wants to put his hand to and say you cant believe its right in front of your eyes. thats the core of the credibility problem and that is a disingenuous game that the president is playing. let me just say that it is not normal that the white house keeps putting out these briefings that are not televised, trying to shut down the major source of how americans get news and information via...

White house has a credibility problem. >> martha: very interesting, thank you so much. michael caputo, one of president trumps former advisors has found himself front and center in the russia story. before a closed session on the house intel committee, he joins us now. good to have you with us, welcome, good evening to you. >> michael: thanks for inviting me. >> martha: absolutely. how would you characterize your interrogation by the intelligence committee on frida friday? >> michael: i would sa...

Credibility problem. this was completely preventible. who knows? again, robert muellers investigation will be the final word. there could be no collusion. if you look back at the series of self-inflicted political mistakes from firing james comey to all these denials about meeting with any russian officials. it is really self-created. why not say up front there were eight people in this meeting. you are talking about this detail about potentially another communication. i know last night the pres...

Preeminently at all times. where is the american public on what is happening lately. im innocent here and pretend that there isnt a serious credibility problem we can say here in debate should donald junior have taken the meeting. it was at the fact that it was new to politics. what was the timeframe was there a set up. there is a lot of moving parts to this. the problem is from a pr standpoint from the very beginning we got one story which was no contact with russian nationals. and we are a lon...

They dont want have to carry this baggage of health care into 2018. but were stuck at the door. >> thats the thing. sabrina, its a satisfying thing as a reporter when you catch someone in a lie and it definitely happens a lot. its a great feeling when you e-mail or call back saying actually, i have that meeting. but cant remember the last time that i saw something, lied about this brazenly and unravelled so quickly. usually its one or the other. but its head snapping. >> this is a white house th...

What trump has to say but what the staff has to say happened in that meeting on june 9th. >> now we have eight people involved in this meeting according to our meeting here at cnn. how damaging is this for the white house? >> thats why i was so surprised that michael caputo just went on to praise donald trump jr.s transparency. the transparency is out the window. i know thats what his father was praising as well, and that was the line there, but obviously these revelations were learning mean tha...
