The president has said that he’s open to speaking to Mueller, but his legal team has not made it clear how the negotiations are going with the special prosecutor.
CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem tweeted her interpretation of the questions.
"It may be Trump colluded. It may be Trump cooperated. It may be Trump is compromised.
What we can infer from these questions: Mueller does not think this is all a coincidence. @cnn"
“What we can infer from these questions: Mueller does not think this is all a coincidence,” she concluded.
What was his opinion of Comey?
What kind of question is that?
The guy is shrewd and working for the slave masters of the globalists. he is trying to entrap Trump. He has nothing else.
There was bupkis from Day One, so the investigation was just meant to create evidence...of something...anything.
Mueller and Comey are pals.
Trump to Mulehead: Pound Sand.
these leaked questions require an end to the investigation-and punishment for the leaker
Who the president talks to and what is discussed is privileged and classified. Hope he tells Mueller to shove it.
Perjury trap.
That's an easy one.
Low.
Hannity and Sarah Carter were tending to think this was fake news. Some of the questions are ridiculous. It would be typical of the NYT.
The questions are ridiculous because teh investigation is ridiculous, and because Mueller is desperate to produce something, anything.
He’ll break the law to do it if he has to.
My recommended answer to every question - you are asking me to remember specifics and I didn’t take notes, so I will summarize. My thoughts at each point in time was that you, Comey, and all your good buddies are not acting in the best interest of your President of your Country. Unless you hand me a sworn statement that you disavow them and recommend they all be prosecuted for their crimes, I have no alternative but to consider you compromised by your close personal relationships and not a legitimate government employee.
These seem like a lot of BS questions. Most should likely get the answer “No of your business.”
Another question he forgot to add to the list:
“When did you stop beating your wife?”
None of this crap was before the election.
So Mueller thinks Trump’s reaction news reports is a potential thought crime?
Was Obama ever investigated on pardons? What kind of bull sht is that? There is nothing to answer to this until we have Obama
on the ice too
Mueller leaks so much why not just put in a catheter straight to the NYT and Wapo?
Lemmee see now ....
The only that can pardon Flynn is Trump.
so
" What do you know about what you are thinking about doing ? "
We really have entered Bizarro World
