He's in a Catch 22 about the questions. If he tells the truth he'll be busted for crimes. If he lies to cover up the crimes then he'll commit perjury.

Trumpists solution: Keep the crook in office and avoid answering the questions and claim "witch hunt".



so you have the proof needed of Russian collusion and others?

I dont think that is accurate. I’m not sure he really knows when he is lying and when he is telling the truth.

I think it is very possible for him to lie about something that would not otherwise get him in trouble had he told the truth.

As I said, nothing good comes from answering these questions.

I think it is quite likely that Trump may not always know when he is lying.

But what lies could he tell team Mueller that would get him in trouble he might not be in if he had told the truth?

My God, it could be about anything. It doesn’t even have to be something as embarrassing (but legal) as getting blowjobs in the Oval Office. With Trump, it could be about what he ate for breakfast.

Wonder if they had any type of agreement to keep the questions confidential ?

They would not have had a Security Classification and if there was no agreement, this was not a leak. It was a press release.

Wonder how Mueller feels about this.

I am of the opinion that President Trump's attorneys probably leaked the questions to the New York Times.


Of course, that begs the question: which lawyer? You have Ty Cobb, Jay Sekulow and, most recently, Rudy Giuliani.


Of the three, I would most suspect Mr. Giuliani. For what purpose, I have no idea. Perhaps in the hope that some portion of the public would believe that Mr. Mueller's team leaked the questions, and so call their integrity into question.


An interesting list of questions, including "What involvement did you have concerning platform changes regarding arming Ukraine?"


That was a curious platform change. Of course, during an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Mr. Trump denied that he was involved in the softening of the platform against the Russians, although he seemed to agree that 'his people' were:


Did Trump campaign soften platform language to benefit Russia? | PolitiFact


No doubt, should Mr. Trump answer these questions (or, rather, his team of attorneys), there will be follow-up questions.

If Trump could clear up the cloud of suspicion hanging over him and his advisors, it would do him a great deal of good.

But this isn't about what's best for Trump.

It's about what's best for the nation.

Who all was involved in this Russian election business? What did they do? How did it come about?

These are the questions that can help us keep it from happening again.

But how would lying about what he ate for breakfast or where he got a blow job get him trouble?

The problem is who bought Trump's breakfast? I bet when Mueller gets to the bottom of this we'll discover that the Kremlin bankrolled most of Trump's campaign. Taking campaign money from a foreign adversary is as illegal as f*ck. Trump could be doing the rest of his life in Sing-Sing after his impeachment. From the White House to the Big House.
