..." The president’s legal team is open to him answering questions about possible collusion with Moscow, Mr. Giuliani said, but is less willing to have Mr. Trump discuss questions about obstruction of justice. “We think the obstruction of it is handled by Article 2 of the Constitution,” Mr. Giuliani said, referring to the provision that gives the president executive authority to appoint and dismiss members of his administration.
... It is unclear whether Mr. Mueller’s team would be open to the legal team’s offer. The special counsel this year outlined for the president’s legal team more than 40 questions he planned to ask in a possible interview with Mr. Trump. The questions focused largely on the president’s decision to fire Mr. Comey, as well as what he meant when he told Russian diplomats at the White House later that month that dismissing the FBI director had taken “great pressure” off him, according to a New York Times report last year.
A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment...."
~ The clearer it becomes that this special counsel appointment has no basis, the more inept the DOJ appears- apparently unable/unwilling to shut down this "insurance policy." Hopefully it is intentionally lingering and there will be a big payoff that rips the band-aid of secrecy off fully for all to see just how corrupt and festering the wound of the election loss (not getting their way) is for those who lust for power at all costs. We have a right to know!

Excerpts
Former President Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon is taking his anti-establishment political activism across the Atlantic to battle the European Union.
Along with Raheem Kassam, a former chief aide to British anti-EU leader Nigel Farage, Bannon has created a Brussels-based political organization intended to undermine and ultimately paralyze the EU, he told Reuters.
*****************
Bannon said he left the White House last August because the Trump administration “needed a wingman outside” and he vowed to help elect allies of President Trump to the Senate.
In an interview last week with CNBC, Bannon said his message is still heard within the White House, explaining he is in contact with administration officials and implying he speaks with the president through lawyers.
