10 questions for Robert Mueller
The Hill ^ | 07/21/19 | Morgan Chalfant

Posted on 07/21/2019 8:28:56 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Would you have charged Trump if it weren’t for the OLC opinion?

Democrats want to know if Mueller would have charged Trump with obstruction of justice in the absence of an Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion from the Justice Department that says a sitting president can’t be indicted.

Why did your office write a letter to Barr objecting to his March 24 memo?

Mueller wrote to Barr on May 27 objecting to the attorney general’s four-page memo from a few days earlier outlining the Russia report’s principal conclusions, a revelation that sparked a firestorm in Washington on the eve of Barr’s public testimony before the Senate.

Did you blame the media on your call with Barr?

Lawmakers are sure to inquire about Mueller’s interactions with Barr following the March 27 letter, when he asserted that the attorney general’s March 24 memo “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of his work and conclusions.

Did any Trump campaign contacts with Russia put national security at risk?

House Intelligence Committee Democrats are particularly interested in the counterintelligence implications of Mueller’s report and whether any contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow posed national security risks, even if they didn’t amount to criminal conduct.

Did your investigation exonerate Trump of ‘collusion’ and obstruction allegations?

Trump has cheered the Mueller report as vindicating him of allegations of “collusion” and obstruction of justice.

But Democrats and other critics of the president note that Mueller’s report explicitly states that there was no evaluation of alleged “collusion” — a term often used by the press, Trump administration officials and lawmakers to describe accusations of coordination or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

Should Congress initiate an impeachment inquiry?

Some Democrats took Mueller’s statement on May 29 as a green light to start impeachment proceedings against Trump.

In his terse nine-minute remarks, Mueller did not mention impeachment but said the Constitution “requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing” while explaining his decision not to reach a judgment on obstruction. He’s likely to be asked what he meant by that.

At what point did you know the investigation was not going to establish conspiracy between the campaign and Russia?

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a Trump ally and Judiciary Committee member, previewed this question in an appearance on Fox News.

What role did the Steele dossier play in the investigation?

Republicans have focused on the early stages of the Russia investigation before Mueller took it over in May 2017. Of particular interest to them is the FBI’s use of information from the controversial Steele dossier in an application to surveil onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

The dossier is fleetingly referenced in Mueller’s report in the context of Trump’s reactions to media reports about its allegations and his interactions with then-FBI Director James Comey.

Why did you select people for your team who mostly donated to Democrats?

Another point of contention for GOP lawmakers has been the makeup of Mueller’s team of prosecutors, many of whom are registered Democrats.

Why didn’t you compel Trump to be interviewed?

Some legal experts have criticized Mueller’s decision not to issue a subpoena to compel Trump to testify under oath — a move that undoubtedly would have provoked a prolonged court fight.

What questions would you ask Mueller and what answers are you looking for?

Serious replies, please.

Maybe some Republicans may see this list of your questions and ask them of Mueller. (Long shot I know).

How could you hire Weissman, and expect an honest investigation to be done knowing his past corruption? Don’t you think it may have been a conflict of interest being he was at Hillary’s election victory party?

They’ll ask better ones. Several of yours offer Mule-ears a do-over. All of them are from a standpoint of his being an honest broker, which he isn’t. He has a documented record of hiding exculpatory evidence and convicting innocent people; of protecting known criminals (Whitey Bulger) and of maliciously ruining thousands of lives in the Arthur Anderson matter. He’s a slithering snake of the most treacherous nature.

Question: HEY D*CK WAD, WHY DIDN'T YOU RECUSE YOURSELF FROM HEADING UP THE SPECIAL COUNSEL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT TRUMP PASSING YOU OVER FOR HIS 'FBI DIRECTOR' POSITION DISQUALIFIED YOU FROM HEADING UP THE SPECIAL COUNSEL?

ANOTHER question:

Hillary sold 20% of the USA's Uranium supply to Putin WITH YOUR HELP so WHY ON EARTH WOULD PUTIN WANT TRUMP AND NOT HILLARY TO WIN THE 2016 ELECTION?

Is the 'Trump-Russia collusion' narrative pushed by the Obama DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc., nothing more than a TWISTED RUSSIAN OP AND ARE YOU ON PUTIN'S PAYROLL in this PLOT to destroy Trump?

Using COMMUNIST-SYMPATHIZER CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN as their primary agent and handler of the Dossier, did the RUSSIANS invent this 'Trump-Russia collusion' HOAX because they knew NO ONE WOULD SUSPECT THEM AS BEING THE ONES BEHIND IT BECAUSE THEY IMPLICATED THEMSELVES IN COLLUDING WITH TRUMP? (OLD RUSSIAN SECRET PLOT TRICK?)

Another question:

Is PIZZAGATE/EPSTEIN an elaborate Russian operation designed to ENTRAP AND BLACKMAIL NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITHIN OBAMA'S CIA, FBI, and DOJ, including Obama himself, Hillary, Comey, Lynch, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, Rosenstein, Mueller etc??

OK. Here are my MAIN QUESTIONS:

Mr. Mueller, WHEN did you realize that there was no evidence of any felonious conduct nor any evidence of other wrongdoing by the Trump campaign nor any evidence of misconduct by the President himself?
AND
Once you realized those FACTS, WHY did you continue to waste the taxpayer’s money on what was nothing more than a useless partisan WITCH HUNT?

IF I was on the committee (FAT CHANCE of that!), I would hammer Mueller until he either answered truthfully or “took the 5th”

Yours, TMN78247

ANOTHER QUESTION:

Did Hillary order Obama's FBI to MURDER Seth Rich because HE IS THE ONE who locally downloaded the DNC emails and sent them to Wikileaks thereby DESTROYING your narrative that the DNC emails were "HACKED BY RUSSIA"?

Has the hand gun reported stolen by the FBI the night of Seth Rich's murder ever been found so that BALLISTICS TESTS COULD BE PERFORMED ON IT to see if it was the gun used to MURDER SETH RICH? Did the FBI DESTROY THEIR OWN HAND GUN IN ORDER TO PREVENT BALLISTICS TESTING FROM BEING PERFORMED ON IT (COVER-UP?)?

The Russians only export of great note is oil and natural gas.

So why would Putin favor Trump, who is Mr. “Drill Baby Drill,” over Hillary Rotten Criminal, who would have shut down fracking, banned offshore drilling, shut down the coal industry, and been a puppet of the environmentalist whackos?

And Mr. Mueller, did you purposely postpone announcing your conclusions of President Trump’s innocence until AFTER the November 2018 elections, in order to give democrats an edge?

mueller is biased and he’s anti Trump... but he’s an attorney and most of them know what to say and what not to say.. he is not going to answer the GOP’s questions.. he will go around that tree as far as he can go.. for he isn’t about to give them any answers that will go against what his aim was in the first place.

He WILL give the dems more of what he tried earlier.. he has a reputation to protect...( at least that is his thinking) and he isn’t going to sit there and suddenly give answers that will help our President.. he will be as much a horrible person sitting there, as he has been for over 2 years. I just hope the republicans give him a real hard piece of their minds.. if not for them.. do it for US.. he needs to go to the wood shed. but it ain’t gonna happen.. not yet.

he has been the “dirty cop” in his position.. he did everything he could to remove our President.. including illegal .. and his last words were at a news conference where he purposely gave the dems the go ahead to impeach. the man is the evil bunch who have tried to torment and remove our President and his family... he should be left jobless and licenseless.. and tormented like he has dished out.

What was the PREDICATE for investigating POTUS, specifically, for obstruction? In the introduction to Volume II your report states, "Beginning in 2017, the President of the United States took a variety of actions towards the ongoing FBI investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election and related matters that raised questions about whether he had obstructed justice."

Mr. Mueller, from that "variety of actions", can you give us a SINGLE SPECIFIC action of the President in 2017 which forms a sufficient predicate for investigating him for obstruction?

Question for DerMueller:

Why didn't you interview Natalia Veselnitskaya? You know, the Russian operative allowed into the country by Russian operative Obama and Russian operative Brennan on behalf of Russian operative Putin to ENTRAP DON JR. DURING THE TRUMP TOWER MEETING?

This SET-UP was an EPIC FAIL, however.
