This NYT piece "What Mueller Wants to Ask Trump" is comedy GOLD! He won't answer ANY of these.

What Mueller Wants to Ask Trump About Obstruction, and What It Means
The questions show the special counsel’s focus on obstruction of justice and touch on some surprising other areas.

April 30, 2018
The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, recently provided President Trump’s lawyers a list of questions he wants answered in an interview. The New York Times obtained the list; here are the questions, along with the context and significance of each. The questions fall into categories based on four broad subjects. They are not quoted verbatim, and some were condensed.

1. Rachel is opening her show with this.

[onecaliberal]

2. Mueller has dump dead to rights....

He knows the answers to these questions already.

[malaise]

3. Rachel is discussing this now

[ecstatic]

4. Maybe he'll answer some of them on Twitter

How did the NYT get the list, BTW?

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. I was thinking the same...

he wont be able to restrain himself from answering this chit on Twitter. He is such an idiot.

[GusBob]

10. He most definitely will start trying to answer this using Twitter

And maybe, just maybe he will fall into a trap

Mueller knows some of the answers. When Trump lies about them on Twitter, the trap is set

And ya, just why and how are these questions being published

As part of the trap perhaps.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Stormy's lawyer is using a tweet to sue for defamation

so apparently a tweet can be considered legally valid in the form of writing as opposed to "in my opinion" which can be stated or written. If he tweets back to Mueller than he could be in even bigger trouble than he already is.

[mr_lebowski]

25. Still not 'under oath' therefore Mueller will have a hard time using it against him I'd guess

Although he would be tipping him off to what BS excuses he's planning ...

[Ccarmona]

5. As I predicted in an earlier thread that Rachel Will put Michelle Wolf in the rear view mirror

[Sneederbunk]

7. Shouldn't we all do the same?

[MyOwnPeace]

27. NO!!!!!!!!

How about this:

"FLINT STILL DOES NOT HAVE CLEAN WATER!"

Pick that up and run with it - drive it down the government's throat!

HOW can we let Americans suffer like that?

Does "Make America Great Again" have anything to do with perhaps making sure ALL Americans have safe, clean water?

[Volaris]

30. Not on the slightest.

MAGA is propganda-speak for Trump needs money from Dumb Suckers.

[oberliner]

36. What can be done to ensure Flint has clean water?

[Lint Head]

6. Mueller already knows the answers and wants to see if Trump

will lie and continue to obstruct.

[Miles Archer]

8. That was the best part

The questions were obviously written by someone who already knows the answers.

They also seem crafted in a way to guarantee that Trump would perjure himself.

Trump has already tweeted "alternative facts" on most of these topics.

So, if Mueller has facts, and Trump repeats his alternative facts, her perjures himself.

If he changes his story, he perjures himself.

All roads lead to "he perjures himself."

[Ccarmona]

11. Or He Takes the Fifth, or Mueller is begging Trump to Fire Him

To set in motion the traps Mueller has already put in place.
In any event, Trump is toast

[unblock]

13. I'd say the questions are more "we know the answer, we have to ask, we know you'll take the 5th"

[malaise]

15. I can't wait for the tweets from the Golden Throne

in the next few hours

and down goes Roger Stone

[misanthrope]

22. That's the standard practice for attorneys

Rule of thumb in court is, "Don't ask a question for which you don't know the answer."

[blogslut]

12. Did BLOTUS leak these questions in order to outsource legal advice to the the brain trust at FOX?

Mueller does not leak.

[Ccarmona]

16. The Leak Came From Trump's Legal Team

According to the Story

[BigmanPigman]

21. To what purpose?

[MyOwnPeace]

28. To throw more

possible BS over anything that may come from the questions and answers (if he dares answer) themselves.

You know, like when the cops find incriminating evidence during a questionable search. Sometimes the entire case gets tossed based on a procedural ruling.

Perhaps that's what "the best legal team in America" (hey, why wouldn't he have that?) is down to - find SOME way to just throw out the whole thing before everybody realizes WE'VE BEEN SCREWED!

[blogslut]

23. Thanks

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. Hey Rudy, how about getting some answers ready for YOUR client.

You jumped into that frying pan, now here's some fire for ya.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

17. Leaked by Giuliani ? nt

[malaise]

19. Makes sense

The Con is a SUBJECT says Chuck Rosenberg

[Adrahil]

20. Man... going for the juggular..... NT

[Upthevibe]

24. Watching Rachel..........

.............

[Adrahil]

29. Hope to catch the rebroadcast tonight... was busy during most of her show. NT

[Gothmog]

26. These questions are amazing

[Stallion]

31. What Happened to the Nuthin'Burger-its a Burger With 49 Flavors

Mmmm! 49 Juicy Burger Secrets Everyone Should Know

32. Why just an interview?

Why isn't Trump being deposed or placed under oath to answer these questions?

[Princess Turandot]

35. FYI, lying in a federal law enforcement interview in this situation is a felony in its own right...

even if an oath isn't taken. It has its own statute, but triggers the same charges as perjury in a court/lying under oath would.

I think one reason for the statute is that the FBI interviews so many people in the course of their usual work that it's not practical to bring all of them in front of someone who can administer the oath. Thus, lying to the Feds is also a crime.

[Catherine Vincent]

37. Thanks!

[Volaris]

33. His syphilis-addled brain can't handle those questions lol...

Mueller should start with simpler questions:
What shape has 3 sides?
A circle.
What color is Orange?
Blue?
How bigly are your hands?
The BIGLY-EST.
What about collusion with russia to undermine the democracy of the Republic?
Barrack Obama.
What can you tell us about UFO's?
Hillary Clinton.

And on it will go, until November when we (hopefully) get control of Congress back, and have his loony as fitted for a 'blue' jumpsuit...

[lame54]

34. Oh yes he will...

In his tweets

And Mueller knows it

[BSdetect]

38. I expect he will do a Reagan and plead bad memory, forgetfulness.

Sessions gave him the malmemory virus.
