this is at 2 russia avenue. it's zones ncd with a hide limit of 65. because of the zoning control, it's limited to 8 units on this site. so the plans we received are just that, 8-unit building, con towning no bmr units, because it's under the 10-unit threshold for inclusionary. and it's not even going to the full 65 feet that it's allowed to. so we just -- some estimations, if they were to use home-sf on the same site, could yield 26 units with 8 bmrs. the site could fit up to 20 units. so it's definitely underdeveloped, i would say. so we've heard that -- aside from the cost and complexity of including bmr units, the project sponsor was not interested in taking on the extra process of conditional use, which is what home-sf requires. we've also seen projects like this one at 2670 geary, lucky penny site. here they came to us with mixed-use project containing just 21 units, which is what the base zoning allowed. we asked them to explore a home-sf option that provided more housing and they developed a scheme with 121 units of which 36 would have been af

russia. yes, it takes different avenues. the more bread couples to quote you, are uncovered. would have happened outside of that initial scope, would the president have to be responsible for that? i mean, there would be a legal responsibility that way? >> in talking to legal experts, the mandate for the investigation is, as you said, russian collusion and the election of the trump campaigns involved in that. but if he uncovers other information as he has with mike anyone, the former national security adviser or paul manafort, then he can refer it to federal or state authorities. ultimately, yes, that could come back and be very, very damaging to donald trump. that's why the supreme court choice on monday is so critical to donald trump. >> i see. okay. let's get to the associated press which has a new article saying they obtained a memo sent from the president's legal team to robert mueller. it was sent in june of last year. it was aimed to undermine james comey's credibility. that memo argues he can't be trusted as a witness. what do you make of this pretty clear concern over
