collusions with the russians. they can t get that. every reason that mueller was picked to be a special counsel have disappeared. what s left? a whole bunch of very high-priced democratic lawyers hanging around with mueller who wasted a year of their life. they have to find somebody for something. my prediction is they will indict somebody just to be able to go home and say they did something. but the truth is, the original intent of appointing him has disappeared, nobody seriously believes it. even if the f.b.i. leaks and text messages between the two love birds, the guy who was, after all, the number two counter intelligence person in the f.b.i. says i don t want to go to work for mueller because i know there is nothing there. it strikes me you can t have a better exoneration of trump on the original charge than to have the f.b.i. s number two guy say in private to his lover there is nothing here. i don t know why mueller is doing this? bill: in the meantime double
lawyers threatened to quit and walk out. the president reacting to this report calling it fake news. well, let s be real clear. the new york times has anonymous sources. the other side is quoted by the president himself who is a first person. the only person who really knows. i think i would take his word over the new york times who is a one note chime. they ve missed the whole big story that is going on. taxes are down, regulation is down, the stock market is up, isis has been greatly diminished. security is better. trump has the world economic leaders eating out of his hand. what s the new york times worried about? something that didn t even happen. last time i checked this morning, bob mueller is still on the job. what the heck is the new york times got going? this is like a person sitting in the stands during the ncaa championship game and on the last play when alabama wins in overtime they miss the play
conservative critics supporters of the president in many cases, who are more hard line immigration and say this gives up way too much particularly at this stage of the negotiations. bill: ted cruz blasted it. others calling it amnesty. how much sway tom cotton has. it is built an proposals that he offered in the senate. he came out and suggested it was a good starting point and pushed back hard on dick durbin s argument against this proposal. so we ll see if tom cotton is able to persuade some other more hard line republicans that this is something to be at least considered and debated. bill: i have more for you on this, too as president trump says goodbye to davos. you mentioned the democrats and their opposition, nancy pelosi, here we go on screen. the dreamers will not be ransomed for a hateful agenda
hill complained not knowing what the president wants. now they do. bill. bill: thank you, mike. more to come. sandra: joining us for more on this chris wallace the anchor of fox news sunday. good morning to you. mitch mcconnell deadline february 8th for a deal to get done. is that realistic? well look, you could get something done. you could get a deal done over the weekend. there are wide differences. people say a compromise is a situation where nobody is happy, nobody is happy with the president s plan as mike laid out. hard liners think it is amnesty for people who came to this country illegally. the dreamers no matter what the circumstances. as you hear from the left wing of the democratic party they re saying it is well, one comment a ransom note. too tough when it comes to payment of $25 billion for the wall. and the end to chain migration. this isn t going to be the final plan. if they get a deal it will have to soften the edges on both
carry out and order to fire bob mueller. john roberts is reporting it was brought up in a conversation and then it was dropped. i asked newt gingrich about that last hour how he frames these competing stories and this is how he sees it. historians will look back on this period as schizophrenic insanity. on the one hand you have genuine f.b.i. information coming out about clearly covering up for hillary clinton in ways that are astonishing which probably won t make page one of the new york times. on the other hand, you have a non-story about a non-event. if the president didn t actually fire mueller, even if the president got really angry and said i would love to fire mueller, there is no event there. bill: no there there? there are two main issues out of it that are negative. it fuels the fire that believe trump has something to hide and the second one adds to the narrative this is a
