***Why has Trump agreed to give written answers to Mueller’s questions?***

This could work out; it shows Trump's willingness to cooperate with Spec Counsel, while permitting him to claim executive privilege on Presidential decisions. Mueller has no authority to force the issue... The result could be a demand that Mueller wrap up his costly investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. If the SC does not comply, then after the midterm elections, POTUS fires him.

If the SC and the Dims scream then POTUS has the authority to force Mueller to reveal what he has, AND to reveal it himself if Mueller refuses to comply. Altogether different than Watergate - which might also have fallen apart if the GOP ever had the guts to fight.

I just about dropped my teeth when I saw a Bob Ireland post - I'm class of 97, with a newer screen nick.

I see you've been active on the Q threads, which I haven't gotten into [memories of quidam...].

Good to see you're still in the fight.
