Mueller Has a Bunch of BS Questions for POTUS. Does He Really Need Them?
2018-05-02
[Weekly Standard] Special counsel Robert Mueller is eager to get inside President Donald Trump’s brain. The New York Times published about four dozen questions supposedly being entertained as the stuff of a Mueller interview with Trump. "What did you think..." begins a question about Jeff Sessions. "What did you think..." begins a question about the appointment of the special counsel. "What did you think..." about James Comey’s testimony before the Senate. "What did you think..." about other Comey testimony.
"What did you think"...? Has someone finally called the 'thought police."
Many are the questions that begin "What was the purpose..." and "What was your reaction..." Most of all, the special counsel is interested in the thinking that went into giving FBI director James Comey his walking papers. He hopes to use any interview with Trump to divine whether the Comey firing was a crime.
Mueller is a bit confused. Not firing the crooked SOB would have been the crime.
If Mueller is interested in how and why Trump made the decision to fire Comey, it would clearly be relevant what sort of legal advice the president was given about his power over the FBI director’s employment. It would indeed look bad for Trump if, in the days before he fired Comey, he had been told by some senior legal official that letting the FBI director go for the wrong reason amounted to obstruction of justice.
Forget the Russians! It's all about my pal Jim Comey.

#18  What did you think"...?

Trump is guilty of a thought crime against the "People" (of the swamp).

#17  No, no questions. Trump should tell the American people why he did it and then he should can Mueller's ass. Posted by Abu Uluque

I was hoping for a White House trifecta. Mueller, Rosenstein, and Sessions... all fired the same afternoon. Rudy Giuliani walks them out, takes over justice, helps Sessions clean out desk. Day #2, Giuliani calls Christopher Wray and tells him to start looking for a new job asap.

Swamp water recedes 10 inches overnight.

#16  We get Stormy Daniels and James Comey because the only Russian collusion was with Hillary. What next? You got video of some wino picking his nose and somehow it's Trump's fault? Go to hell.

#15  And besides all that, what obstruction of justice? You mean letting Hillary off the hook? Or how about using bogus oppo research and a crooked judge to get a FISA warrant to wiretap Trump tower?

No, no questions. Trump should tell the American people why he did it and then he should can Mueller's ass.

#14  The Russian fabrication has collapsed. Mueller is desperate and searching for a perjury charge. POTUS should tell him to bugger off, or tell him nothing at all.

#13  Trump should just tell Mueller he canned Comey's ass because Comey is a weasel and he dropped the ball on the Hillary investigation. Trump should tell Mueller that he canned Comey's ass because as POTUS it was his right and his duty because the man cannot be trusted. What more reason do you need? And if this bullshit continues then Bill, Hillary, Comey and Lynch will go to jail along with a whole bunch of their co-conspirators possibly including Mueller himself...maybe even Obama if you really wanna get that way about it.

#12  No, rather 'Hell No!'. Mueller want to have a Perjury trial à la the Lewis "Scooter" Libby farce.

#11   How about a few questions for Robert Mueller? Interesting source--Clintonista.

#10  Unlike the Clintons, Trump wouldn't be able to get away with answering every question with "I can't recall" of "I don't remember."

#9  At this point Mueller has two goals: (1) to trick Trump into some kind of contradiction that he can work with, or (2) to get Trump to not answer, plead the fifth, whatever, so the idiots on the left can see guilt in a fairly ordinary legal tactic.

#8  Oooooh - I have a question:

"Dear Mr. Muller - what did you think when it was revealed that two FBI agents under your supervision were on Whitey Bulger's payroll and had been protecting him for over a decade?"

#7  It is throw everything against the wall and see if it sticks time for Mueller.

Long past time to end this BS.

#6  There was no collusion. There was no crime. There was no obstruction because there was no crime. The only crime is that this B.S. witch-hunt still goes on.

BTW, however, there are quite a few questions that need to be answered about U1 and a few other things.

#3  How many drinks are the Mueller team downing per hour? They are leaking like alcoholics again per Trumps tweeets.

#2  No.

Mueller is a jackwad and full of shit. At this point he is "Obstructing" the President.

There will be no questions and you will not Question the President.
