levee, plus steel on top of concrete. some people might argue this is not trump s wall because it s want the prototypes he unveiled earlier in his term. it s concrete and a barrier so i think that s good enough for trump to say he s building a wall. what percentage do you think at the end of term one of the trump presidency could be completed of his promise from sea to shining sea? it s hard to offer a precise number, but i think it s clear at this point. at least at the end of this first term it s going to be quite small. democrats are not willing to fund much of it. he s had to wring funding for some kind of fencing out of them. it s just not happening. let s talk about another claim the president made last night. i think we have his words on this. this is the number of immigrants who have come into u.s. hands collected when they have tried to come into this country.
itself is exculpatory for president trump and those around him. the absence of evidence, senator warner, who sits below senator burr on the intelligence committee as vice chairman made very clear today the investigation is ongoing, there are interviews that need to be completed, there are documents that need to be reviewed, and this investigation that the senate intelligence committee is running is quite different than mueller s probe. but third and most importantly, i think there s perhaps in some cases a willful misimpression being peddled of what it means that there s no direct evidence of connecting trump and collusion with the russians. to illustrate this point, there is a senior manager under whom i worked at cia who would lose his
now, he s getting $1.375 billion. i think we have just figured out why donald trump went $9 billion in debt as a lousy businessman, why he filed for bankruptcy so many times because not only was he horrific of making deals, he had syncopates around him saying, great job, boss, great job, boss. he could have taken $20 billion last year, you get $1.375 billion now, and we re going to call that a victory for you, mr. president. great job. great job, boss. whatever gets you through the night. those were fox news hosts rationalizing the president essentially caving on the border wall completely funding. welcome back.
blocks from here called the grand havana room. happens to be loeblgtd at 666 fifth avenue, a notable address because it was at the time famously owned by the kushner family. as we reported, one of mueller s prosecutors has described this 2016 event as, quote, being at the heart of the russia investigation. meanwhile, nbc news reports the senate intelligence committee is nearing the end of its inquiry and that both republicans and democrats say they have no direct link. they ve seen no direct link between the trump campaign and russia. today the republican chair of that committee made a lot of news by speaking out publicly about his committee s investigation, separate from the mueller investigation, and what it has found or not found so far. i m not sure how to put it any clearer than i said it before. we have no factual evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia. now, earlier on this network a former justice department official and a former cia director took issue
for the wall. forget the $5.7 billion. ann coulter is criticizing the president, again. stay tuned. she writes in a tweet, trump talks a good game on the border wall, but it s clear he s afraid to fight for it. call this his yellow new deal. see if the president responds this time the way he did in december. donald trump is so sensitive to any criticism from his brain trust of cable news advisers that, you know, it wouldn t be unthinkable to see donald trump say i don t know, this just isn t good enough and up end everything at the last minute because he is solely driven by what people are saying about him in any given moment. remember, sean hannity said it s a garbage compromise. yeah, garbage compromise. the chances are good the president can get away with this. we saw the other night, all
