Trump ought to just outright refuse to answer such "what were you thinking" questions. Any judge who says "you must answer" should be told that separation of powers is a thing and he has no right to compel the president to do anything other than follow the law, which he did. Stick to objective facts only.

It's time to draw a line in the sand and refute this idea that unelected judges are the ultimate power in this country. This could be the test case. A lot of Americans would agree with Trump that some random low level judge shouldn't have the power to force the President to come and justify all his actions to him.

Let a judge try to order Trump around or hold him in contempt. Who is going to arrest Trump? The US Marshals who are under his command? The FBI who is under his command?

Obama had no problem protecting his subordinates from Congress or the courts by using his executive power. The least Trump can do is protect himself.

[McGavin999]

Its not a question of separation of powers. The DOaj is part of the executive branch. President Trump is the head of the executive branch and the one the Constitution States is responsible for enforcing the law. Mueller should be told he is to list out the crime and, in writing, explain why he needs input from POTUS.

Mueller and his merry band of thieves are getting fat on the taxpayer dime. They have NO incentive to bring this to a conclusion

"what were you thinking"

You know, that was a long time ago and I did not take notes. So I cannot possibly accurately recall my thoughts nor would I care to speculate for fear of being inaccurate. Next question.

Trump should order the Marshal’s Service to yank their deputies from courts that make unconstitutional rulings.

[Fido969]

“What were you thinking” is to establish intent.

Remember, under Comey law, if the suspect doesn’t INTEND to break the law, by whatever criteria they use to establish that, then there is no crime.
