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.

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

It’s time for an organized effort to go after the GOP — all of them. If the left can pull off these giant protests and boycotts, why can’t we? The Republicans will continue to oppose and facilitate this nonsense until they feel the pain of potentially losing their offices. It’s the only pain they understand. We need a groundswell.

So what if he did? Perfectly legal...UNLIKE Obama's back channels to our enemy Iran BEFORE the 2008 election.

So why not actually include the list of questions in your post instead of making us click through and try to find them??

I just read some of the alleged questions. They are either banal or trite or fishing or irrelevant, and some were perjury traps. The kind of open ended questions that are subjective and interpretative.

Most were just plain stupid. You would think that after tens of millions of dollars spent, and with “fine” legal minds, they could come up with more definite questions.

The President should tell him to f*ck off.

They can’t come up with more definite questions because there’s no definite crime. In fact, no crime at all.

This seems more to me like the NYT is simply issuing a wish list of questions that they want Mueller to ask President Trump.

Perhaps the NYT is aware that the end of this nonsense is coming soon, and they are simply trying to keep their narrative going in this fashion.

Who the hell does this guy, Mueller, think he is?

Give him NOTHING, Dear President, NOTHING.

His business records, indeed.

Trump should react to the leak by saying ...

Stupid questions - I’m glad this got leaked so now I don’t need to waste time answering them. Here’s an answer to all of them now: I’m supposed to tell you my purpose or what was in my mind? What, am I supposed to tell you that my purpose was to do something criminal so then you can charge me with something? Get real, if you have no evidence and you’re only chance of charging me with anything is for me to say “OK, I’m guilty, so please charge me” - then get lost and stop wasting everyone’s time with this fake probe into fake accusations that all started because of a fake dossier.
