Reporter sources tell cnn that rnc chairman Reince Priebus denied he was considering shifting funds from trumps president ial bid to down ballot races, but he did speak to trump about his tone. This after trump spent an entire day repeating a false claim that president obama literally is the founder of isis. I meant hes the founder of isis. I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. Reporter back in february during a cnn town hall, trump placed the blame for the rise of isis squarely on the iraq war. The war in iraq started the whole destabilization of the middle east. It started isis. It started libya. It started syria. In all fairness, bush made the decision. Reporter the republican candidate also making waves this morning for saying he would allow american terror suspects to be tried at the military tribunal in guantanamo bay. Well, i know that they want to try them in our regular court systems, and i dont like that at all. I would say they could be tried there. That will be fine. Reporter as for his rival, trump continuing to raise questions about the nature of the state departments relationship with the Clinton Foundation. Arent emails a wonderful thing . Right . What a great invention. When you go home, im not going to do it because if i mention it, theyll play it down. So im not going to mention it. Reporter meanwhile, clinton hitting trumps economic plan, accusing the billionaire of using his campaign to benefit the rich. He called for a new tax loophole. Lets call it the trump loophole. Reporter with less than three months until election day, trump already entertaining the possibility of losing in november. At the end, its either going to work or im going to, you know, im going to have a very, very nice long vacation. Reporter trump takes his campaign to the crucial swing state of pennsylvania today. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is stepping up the pressure on him to release his tax returns. She plans to release her 2015 returns perhaps as soon as today. And her running mate tim kaine and his wife will be releasing the last ten years of their returns. This as clinton releases a new web video featuring Top RepublicansLike Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and former gop nominee mitt romney calling on trump to release his returns. Brianna, chris . Appreciate the reporting. Lets discuss. We have cnn political analyst and National Political reporter for the New York Times alex burns. Cnn political commentator and congressmmmentator of time warn, errol louis. The nfl has started. Lets extend the analogy. Big problems on both sides of the ball. Lets start with trump. It started off as his typical marketing expertise of coming up with a label to explain a more complex situation. Founded isis. But now hes saying, no, no, no, i mean it, i mean it. It is starting to raise eyebrows. Maybe he does mean it. Whats your take . Chris, i think in some ways, and sort of perversely, you could see this as a step in the right direction for trumps message because he has picked a fight over an issue where voters do actually tend to like what hes saying. Hes no longer fighting with a gold star family. Hes now fighting with the president of the United States on the issue of terrorism and particularly the issue of isis, which polls still show voters tend to like what he has to say. But the longer he drags out that literal label of barack obama and Hillary Clinton founded isis, eventually it does become a distraction from the underlying issue of his criticism of their policies. So thats what he should do, you think, sort of adjust, errol, what hes saying . Were in day number what now of people focusing more on this from donald trump than emails from Hillary Clintons top aides that were revealed. Its certainly a blown opportunity to focus on his opponent and really sort of make some charges stick that are worth talking about. Hes blowing that opportunity, in part because we heard in his interview, hes e no, manamores idea of simply provocatively phrasing a point, it ends up in the news cycle. Lets listen to it. Last night you said the president was the founder of isis. I know what you meant. You meant he created the vacuum. No, i meant hes the founder of isis. I do. He was the most valuable player. I gave him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way. But hes not sympathetic to them. He hates them. I dont care. He was the founder. Heres the problem. By going all in here, he has to be completely consistent over time, and he hasnt been. Heres him talking in 2007 with wolf. How does the United States get out of this situation . Is there how do they get out . They get out, thats how they get out. Declare victory and leave. Ill tell you, this country is just going to get further bogged down. Theyre in a civil war over there, wolf. Theres nothing were going to be able to do in a civil war. They are in a major civil war. This isnt just one example of him doing essentially what hes now criticizing president obama of doing, you know, leaving and creating a vacuum. Hes also blamed bush in the past for being i guess what trump would call the founder of isis. So the inconsistency, a problem . Theres so many issues on which hes not woven a Straight Path that i dont know thats whats going to be what hurts him. This was important for him. I think his advisers were happy not to be engaging in the fights they had been. This is not fights with his own party members. So pretty low bar for success though, isnt it . I think weve been doing that. Youre not kicking the dog. Its been a good day. You work with whats in front of you. I think errol is also right. There has consistently been an opportunity to drive a message as opposed to trump just sort of always playing defense in one form or another, either because of his own creation or because of his refusal to pull back from something or because he gets in these fights and goes down a rabbit hole. To drive a consistent message, youre going to see today that Hillary Clinton is going to release tax returns to be on offense against him, driving a point. The emails issue could resonate. He could do something with it. Hes basically leaving it on the table. Looking at the tax issue, a poll asking voters if it bothers them. Its sort of interesting what they say. 44 said it bothers them a lot. 24 said it bothers them a little. Is this something you think really is going to matter come election day . I think itll be an excellent point on which to sort of bog him down. Hillary clinton has already been returning to it again and again and again. So his main point or one of his points against her has been, he called her crooked hillary. He says that the Clinton Foundation is some sort of a ponzi scheme or Something Like that. He attacks her on transparency and ethics. All she has to do is say, show us your taxes, mr. Trump. He has no answer. And the question ultimately comes down to a balancing test. I thought Rudy Giuliani was effective yesterday. Ill take the problems of what he says over what clinton does. The taxes, you can speculate as to why he wont release them. And what about that relativity . You think that could resonate with voters . It sure could, but when you talk to other republicans, they think, why do we have to balance out a guy who says these crazy things against a person who does these distasteful things. I think to maggies point, when you look at the week that Hillary Clinton could have had with a different opponent, you really see the scale of the missed opportunity here for republicans. She could have spent the last four or five days just sweating under the lights talking about these emails. Instead, shes had an opponent who even when hes arguing about policy is doing it in such a way that its really hard for her to dismiss him excuse me, really easy for her to dismiss him. You have an interesting piece today thats talking about the acknowledgment of donald trump, really for the first time that he might not win. You put together a string of examples that are telling. Does it seem like maybe this is the reality that its going to be very close, that maybe its sunk in. I think the reality that it might not be closes is whats sinking in. Thats what was striking about what he said yesterday. About the vacation . The vacation. He had a very long riff in a cnbc interview about how im supposed to be the one with the good ideas, and thats fine, and maybe thatll happen and maybe it wont. He has clearly relied on a certain fact set for a long time, which is that he sees his rally crowds, he feeds off that energy, we have seen that. He gets excited about that. Hes had another line yesterday saying, you know, it should translate into votes. Maybe it doesnt. This is all new for him. Hes a firsttime candidate. Hes not the first, you know, novice politician to not totally understand that these things dont always correlate. Frankly, with Rudy Giuliani in 2007, he would get crowds and he was a huge draw. It did not really mean anything. I think that for trump, he is seeing this is not a drill. It is one poll after another showing him not just behind but Something Like utah i was very struck by that yesterday that he mentioned, acknowledged theres a real problematic situation there. People often mistake his insistence for lack of sophistication. Hes very bright. He just knows what got him here. The struggle, errol, for him is change. This is a man whos always followed his own gut to get the success hes had. Hes always gotten himself out of trouble through his own lights. What does that suggest about his ability to change course no matter how big the brain is that comes to him and says you need to do more of this and less of this. Thats right. His gut is telling him to take whats in front of him and what he knows. He watches the shows and all this stuff. He can put together, in some ways, a fairly sophisticated view of the situation hes dealing with. That worked through the primaries. This is completely different. Were talking about ten times it the scale. Were talking about voters hes never met and never heard of. People who not only werent at his rallies but havent been watching television, havent been listening to radio and are nowhere on his radar. Thats who most of the voters are now. So the polls are now giving him information of a kind that he cant sort of intuitively feel just on his own. So you either have to start listening to experts, which hes already decided he wasnt going to do, or youre going to be where he is, which is hit with some information coming from a source and from places and from people that you really werent aware of at all. Friends, stay with us. We want to discuss the other side of the ball, whats going on with Hillary Clinton. She has her challenges, but we have some news. Thats right.

Cnn has learned that the fbi and the Justice Department discussed launching a public Corruption Case into the Clinton Foundation monts ago because of suspicious activity involving a foreign donor. According to a u. S. Official, they decided not to pursue a case based on prior unsubstantiated allegations and concerns that the probe would be politically motivated. Lets bring back our panel. Alex burns, errol louis, and maggie haberman. Maggie, if they dont do it in part because it appeared to be politically motivated, not doing it could appear to be politically motivated as well. When youre a president ial candidate and less than three months out from election day, this is not a great set of facts to be discussing. Not talking about what the disposition is of the facts, theres no world in which this headline is good for a candidate. This issue has dragged on in some form or another, preceding the emails server issue that emerged last year. But there have been questions and concerns about overlap between the state department and the foundation for a very long time. Theyve generally batted them away. Theyve generally said the foundation does a lot of good work, it is a charity. It is also a very sprawling and postpresident ial enterprise. Its a platform, right, for the clintons. Well, look, they can point to a lot of work they have done that is real in countries that have been in need of help. They can point to a lot of things they have done that have moved the ball. Its not strictly political. The problem is we are dealing with a situation that we havent seen before politically ever. You are dealing with a potential president who is married to a former president. They have a giant donorbased foundation, other peoples donations. While she was a secretary of state involving a lot of overseas donations, there is no road map for that. So basically what people would caution them, and people did caution Hillary Clinton, you take the simplest road possible, the thing t
