Questions for Mueller

What I Would Ask Robert Mueller
https://www.lawfareblog.com/what-i-would-ask-robert-mueller

I'm not expecting much in the way of revelatory info from Mueller. I think Nadler's intent is to essentially get him to repeat in person what the report says in print. Hoping that it has the effect of making people realize Billy the Bagman, Trump, and right wing media have been misrepresenting Mueller from the time of the report's release.

Nadler is seeking to convince those who have not already been convinced by the onslaught of propaganda that at the least, further inquiry in to Trump's crime of obstruction is merited so the American people can come to better understand the facts.

 

Lee, are you saying this is NOT THE BIG ONE and President Trump will stay in the White House? What happened?

 

I think that would be just fine. Present the Mueller Report on live television in front of the nation. Show them the movie.

Then, as soon as the courts dispose of Trump’s completely groundless attempts to block them, start presenting the entire rogue’s gallery, one right after another, with a few breaks in between, so the audience doesn’t get bored.

We already know what Trump is going to do. We saw it last week,

 

My first two questions to get things started would be:
Question: Mr. Mueller, the president said you found no evidence of collusion, is that true?
Question: Mr. Mueller, the president said you found no evidence of obstruction of justice, is that true?

 

You cannot indict a sitting President. That's "what happened". But Mueller did prove that he's a criminal. And Trump will not be a "sitting President" forever.

 

Don't need him "forever". 5-1/2 more years will do just fine thank you very much.

 

What do you think Mueller is going to do read the report out loud? What a waste of time. The criminal inquiry is over, no crime found. He has as much right as any citizen to not be persecuted on something for which there is not a shred of evidence. This is an abuse of power by Nadler. He is NOT a criminal investigator, his committed is not a criminal investigative body. It's a violation of separation of powers for the Legislative to suddenly believe it is a law enforcement body. We don't make partisan political bodies law enforcement with the power of law enforcement BECAUSE they are partisan political bodies.

 

You can draw up the charges and present them to the congress and the public. If the SDNY found a crime they have duty to report it to the Congress so that impeachment can be considered, same with Mueller, same as what happened with Clinton. He was not removed and the indictment was held until he left office.

And James Comey should be more worried about what questions he may be having to answer after the special investigation is over and the IG report in.

 

And after Mueller answered "It is true, sir" to each question the committee chairman should say, "This hearing is concluded. Thank you for appearing Mr. Mueller. "

 

Do you prefer peach mint tea?

 

I'll bet you a nice steak dinner I'm closer to being on target than you are. $50.00 would buy a nice steak.

 

Mueller has already said he will not go outside the four corners of the report.

This is all a dog and pony show for the dems to keep the Russian/Collusion conspiracy alive.

 

No! You can't! Mueller can't even explicitly say that Trump committed a crime

Where the hell did you get that idea? Of course not! The AG might do that. But he's obviously Trump's personal attorney at taxpayers expense, and not a real AG. So he won't do that.

In any case, the SDNY can't accuse a sitting President of a crime either. They are also part of the Department of Justice.

Who the hell cares what James Comey is worried about?

 

So Mueller's gonna validate your position that Trump's 100% guilty of 40% of Mueller's indirect allegations.

 

I haven't made any "allegations". All I did was quote Mueller. Mueller already proved Trump 100% guilty.

 

Yes! He can and was his duty to report any crimes to the AG who would then relate to the Congress. Specific charges. That is how Clinton got impeached.

Where in civics class did you learn the AG is the personal attorney of the President. What stupid nonsense. The President has his own legal council in the Executive office. And the SDNY would have a duty to report the crimes to the judge and the AG. They found none, the case is over.

They can't PROSECUTE.

Which do you assert Presidents are above the law.

Comey and the Democrats.

 

I highly doubt he will allow himself to be dragged into such a line of questioning and will simply repeat his report speaks for itself.

 

Mueller hasn't alleged Trump committed obstruction. Mueller only recorded the events and statements related to Comey's firing, and Trump's wish to have Mueller recused. You posted a thread claiming Mueller proved 4 of 10 allegations that Mueller never actually made in his report.

 

You can purchase copies of the Constitution for a buck at Amazon.

 

Why did your team include lawyers who had donated to Democratic candidates, and that part of the FBI's initial probe drew on opposition research paid for by Democrats?

Oh man..this is gonna be great. Where is the popcorn?

 

After answering no to those two questions, I'd also like to hear Mueller say, for the benefit of Trumpists, that the only reason he did not indict Don is the OLC prohibition against it.

 

Trump and his legions' fear is palpable. 'Mueller will just read from his report,' they whine. 'It's just a show,' they grumble. Right on both counts. The main purpose of this TV extravaganza is to get the report out to millions of Americans through that wonderful invention, television.

It doesn't take Einstein to know John and Jane public aren't going to read a 448 page report full of dry facts. They will, however, tune into TV to watch Mueller read from a report that doesn't exonerate Trump for obstruction of justice, or let his campaign team off the hook. In short, a reading by Mueller will expose Trump and Barr as bald faced LIARS. The Trump team was deeply involved with the Russians. Trump attempted to obstruct justice at least eight times.

It's fair to say that most of the public and all of the Trumpets never read the report. They will hear it all now. It's reasonable to expect Trumpets to stick fingers in ears and mutter lalalala. It will all come out that accusation of misdeeds by the president much less prosecution, Mueller's hands were tied. The big unknown is the public reaction to this stick of dynamite. No predictions there.

 

LOL, the 'onslaught of propaganda' is not working so Nadler wants another clown show.

 

LOL, what was the investigation for again?

“The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 US Presidential Election. As the report states: '[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.'"

Since the Mueller team knew this at the beginning of the investigation why did they take another 2 years to try and craft an obstruction charge?

 

The dems will break out the rubber hose and bright light in hopes of beating a Trump-crime out of Mueller. Wishful thinking is on high. The only thing new that we might learn will be from some probing questions from a few sharp repubs.
