Mueller Has Dozens of Inquiries for Trump in Broad Quest on Russia Ties and Obstruction
NY Times ^ | 04-30-2018 | Michael S. Schmidt

Posted on 04/30/2018 6:18:12 PM PDT by NRx

WASHINGTON — Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel investigating Russia’s election interference, has at least four dozen questions on an exhaustive array of subjects he wants to ask President Trump to learn more about his ties to Russia and determine whether he obstructed the inquiry itself, according to a list of the questions obtained by The New York Times.

[Read the questions here.]

The open-ended queries appear to be an attempt to penetrate the president’s thinking, to get at the motivation behind some of his most combative Twitter posts and to examine his relationships with his family and his closest advisers. They deal chiefly with the president’s high-profile firings of the F.B.I. director and his first national security adviser, his treatment of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and a 2016 Trump Tower meeting between campaign officials and Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.

But they also touch on the president’s businesses; any discussions with his longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, about a Moscow real estate deal; whether the president knew of any attempt by Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to set up a back channel to Russia during the transition; any contacts he had with Roger J. Stone Jr., a longtime adviser who claimed to have inside information about Democratic email hackings; and what happened during Mr. Trump’s 2013 trip to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant.

Robert Mueller is acting like Trump sold 20% of our Uranium to Russia...

Oh wait... my bad.

If Trump was being ‘treated like Hillary’ Mueller would be ignoring the whole thing and the FBI would be looking the other way.

President trump can simply ignore mueller. But far better to just fire mueller and rose Stein and any more like them. Make nothing of it. Or make a celebration partynof the announcement. Whatever. Just Get Er Done, already. This mueller farce has been allowed to fester far far far far far too long

“And how does the Slimes get this?”

like mueller himself publicly admonished the fake stream media a couple of weeks ago about the lies they’ve been publishing : they’re basically just publishing rumors from “sources” who don’t know what they are talking about ...

Tough. You can’t always get what you want, Mueller.

how convenient the NYSlimes know exactly what Mueller is thinking

iksnay on any ‘interview’. Mueller has become irrelevant and a complete waste of taxpayer funds.

Does anyone smell either a set-up (perjury trap) or fake NYT item/sources (if they exist)?

Hannity asked that question as well as his guests. Some said it sounded like a very amateurish list of questions, not the kind a professional intelligence person would ask.

The first rule is never trust Mueller or any of his staff.

The second rule is never trust anything in the NYTimes esp. if it is aimed at Trump.

Third rule is to always remember the first two.

Don’t think Mueller is stupid enough to provide such questions to the NYT, but the Times is stupid enough to think he would, and then come up with what questions they think he SHOULD ask.

If the left can pull off these giant protests and boycotts, why can’t we?

Stupid us we have jobs.

The latest attempt by these slime buckets to prolong a useless investigation (can you spell “there’s nothing there?”) and ask President Trump a bunch of gotcha questions.

IMHO, it’s high time to call an end to this. Hopefully Jeff Sessions will do it. If not Sessions, President Trump should do it in a formal announcement with iron-clad reasons.

The American people are fed up with this.

The real reason it continues is because the GOP swamp members want it to.

Exactly, which puts us in an awkward position coming into mid-term elections.

A MUST VIEW FOR EVERYONE. I've previously shared this video with my entire family and friends and gave them the exact same advice:

NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE OR ANY "LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, PERIOD. And ALWAYS ASK FOR A LAWYER. That is the first and only thing you should say.

Mueller has drilled a dry hole and he's sifting thru the rubble now.

This political charade is over--Mueller needs to deliver his final report to AG Sessions next week.

Then Sessions needs to appoint a brand new Special Counsel--maybe Rudy Giuliani or Joe diGenova--and get the real investigation of real felons underway.

The sound of handcuffs clicking on Dem wrists should be in the air by voting time this November.

This character Mueller is spending taxpayer funds by the steam shovel-ful and has come up with... nothing. Nada. Zilch.

He’s quite simply on a publicly-funded ego trip. When is it time to tell him to STFU and send him packing? His fifteen minutes are over.

He’s already got his conclusion, and now he’s fishing for facts to support it.
