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.

What!!!? And we, the public, are supposed to have faith that Mueller is a straight, ethical guy? Jeeeeezzzz, man, when is enough, enough?

I hope the President doesn't so much as give Mueller and his henchmen the time of day.

The ABSOLUTE last thing PDJT should do is talk to Mueller. If he has evidence of crimes being broken by PDJT then he can bring them to light. Otherwise, GET LOST!! There is NOTHING to gain from opening that door.

Question # 23;

• What is the reason for your continued criticism of Mr. Comey and his former deputy, Andrew G. McCabe?

Mr. Comey and Mr. McCabe are among Mr. Trump’s favorite targets. Mr. McCabe is a lifelong Republican, but Mr. Trump has criticized him as a Clinton loyalist because Mr. McCabe’s wife, a Democrat, ran unsuccessfully for office in Virginia and received donations from a Clinton ally. This question suggests that Mr. Mueller wants to know whether Mr. Trump’s criticism is an effort to damage the F.B.I. while it investigates the president’s associates.

This is from the Special Counsel via NYT or is this from the Onion? 😳

AGREED!

And my tagline STILL applies.

WE WOULD HAVE NO CHOICE!!

Pence isn’t Trump.

Nice man, but not Trump.

Maybe in 2024, when all he need to do is maintain what Trump has built.

Mueller is way out of line. He is trying to find anything Trump ever did. Mueller is a criminal.

It would be rediculous for the president to walk into Mueller’s trap.

Trump should tweet: Special Council shouldn’t be leaking to the dishonest grey haired old lady.

Then follow that up with another tweet: My gut told me Comey was a dirty cop. I follow my instincts.

Let the Mule try to prosecute someones instincts. This is insane. Now a President has to justify his thought process to do something within his powers. Bring the FBI in to interview all of the investigators.

Get the F out of here Mueller. He’s a super sleuth with all the money and left wing prosecutors in the world, and he needs to talk to Trump because there is no evidence to be found elsewhere. Look at the questions. A liberal conspiracy fantasy wish list. Gee, why did you REALLY fire Comey?

Tell him to leave them on his old desk when his fired ass is escorted out the door and off of the property.

Mueller is compromised and is being leveraged. This “investigation” is all a magician’s slight-of-hand. He won’t be fired and will not find what he is pretending to investigate. Those of us on both sides who are either calling for his firing or for him to continue are playing the roles we need to play...for now.
