Seems pretty weak to me.

My take--Trump's clowns don't have anything remotely disqualifying to cite against Mueller--so they are really digging into the ether to come up with anything that the BASE--not anyone who actually knows what is going on and understands Trump's motivation behind the lies--will believe...it is a sucker ploy...and only suckers will believe...
1--the supposed dispute over golf fees at Trump National--
I am sure Mueller was glad to get away and the amount of money that might be in contention is minimal to Mueller...
This is a man who left a VERY well-paying job with a national law firm to take up this special council position
MONEY is not what motivates Mueller--
However anyone who knows or reads anything accurate about Trump knows that MONEY is his God (along with DJT) and he would hold a grudge and had many times over small and larger amounts of money...
2--If #1 is accurate--why would Trump even consider hiring Mueller as FBI Chief--
Having someone working for you who "holds a grudge" doesn't seem to be the smart thing to do
So the fact that Trump considered hiring Mueller after the Trump National dispute proves that if he wanted Mueller, the dispute is nothing serious and if he doesn't want Mueller then it is a bid deal...
This is Trump's mind--there is only +/-, strictly binary
Either for me or against me---and when Trump WANTED to hire Mueller, it was +
Now that Mueller is hauling his ass over the coals, Trump hates him...
3--See #2--
If the relationship between Mueller and Jared Kushner was so close or antithetical why would Trump consider him for FBI head initially? Binary code once again...
Kushner used the firm--he didn't use Mueller...this was disclosed to the Justice Dept and I am sure the oversight there found nothing in conflict...
I am sure Mueller stepped well away from anything to do with someone as sleezy as Kushner...
Trump is not smart
No one advising him except maybe Don McGahn and KellyAnn Conway's husband George have the cojones to tell him when he is about to step in **** and track it all over the Oval Office carpet
He is grasping at straws and these are all they can come up with
These have all been mentioned before as "objections" but they are just examples of how weak Trump's arguments are on any level...
