his decades of service to this country include the title drug czar. he was the director of the national office of drug control policy under president clinton. also the u.s. military commander for the latin america region. general, i just want to play for you a snippet from the speech. when we come back, i d like you to react to it. here it is. our southern border is a pipeline for vast quantities of illegal drugs, including meth, heroin, cocaine and fentanyl. every week 300 of our citizens are killed by heroin alone, 90% of which floods across from our southern border. more americans will die from drugs this year than were killed in the entire vietnam war. general, any problem with any of what you just heard? well, brian, today was one of the more inane days in american government i ve seen recently. couple of thoughts. first of all, there really isn t much of a new crisis at the border. that s just nonsense.
the social media campaign, the hacking into the dnc. who did that, brian? the russian gru. this is all coming together now. joyce vance, is this, indeed, the most vivid evidence yet of let s call it cooperation with russians? i think we re getting very close to a conspiracy, but it s always really important to say that it looks a lot easier on tv to be a prosecutor than it actually is. when you re in a u.s. attorney s office, or in the special counsel s office, you have to be very careful that you have evidence of an agreement. that you ve identified the statute the conspiracy is in violation of. that everybody that you can prove that you can attribute to them the corrupt intent necessary to move that conspiracy forward. with those caveats, though, i d say this news that paul manafort is sharing this information and also very importantly that he lied about it makes this look more and more like evidence of a
