Mueller will accept some written answers from the moron.

[BigmanPigman]

This is a good thing since it will be a statement. NY Times and MSNBC just reported it.

[Me.]

1. Here's The Thing

Did Mueller actually say that or is the WH saying he said that? They, and Giuliani, have a habit of putting words in Mueller's mouth

[triron]

6. Not from Mueller.

Don't buy it.

[Me.]

16. Exactly

The ghoul seemed to think he can direct Mueller, Mueller doesn't take direct from him

[Brother Buzz]

2. This will be a useless exercise without follow-up questions and responses.

3. Mueller already knows the answers.

The others have already talked. Any denial or variations is perjury. LOL

[Freethinker65]

4. So who will do the actual writing of the answers? It for sure will not be Trump.

He cannot outright deny anything because Trump does not know what proof Mueller has. Everything will be parsed with "as I recall", "to the best of my memory", etc. The answers will get Mueller nowhere....but the questions might be enough to let all involved that Mueller HAS proof of impeachable and prosecutable crimes committed by Trump. That might be the real intention of providing Trump and his team with the questions.

5. I'll believe it when "Mueller says" is the wording of this subject

Mueller hasn't said any of the things that he supposedly said. Who put the statement out? Gulianni?

7. He wrote it in a letter.

"The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, will accept written answers from President Trump on questions about whether his campaign conspired with Russia’s election interference, Mr. Mueller’s office told Mr. Trump’s lawyers in a letter, two people briefed on it said on Tuesday.

Mr. Mueller did not say that he was giving up on an interview altogether, including on questions of obstruction of justice. But the tone of the letter and the fact that the special counsel did not ask for written responses on obstruction prompted some Trump allies to conclude that if an interview takes place, its scope will be more limited than Mr. Trump’s legal team initially believed, the people said."

8. Who were the 2 people that were briefed on it?

"Mr. Mueller’s office told Mr. Trump’s lawyers in a letter, two people briefed on it said on Tuesday. "

I'm sorry, but we still don't know who leaked this, or who the 2 people were. Mueller's office has kept everything under their hats so far. Has the NYT seen the letter?

[BigmanPigman]

9. I don't know who the two were.

10. Mueller to Rump: "Who colluded with Russia?"

Rump's response:

12. Written lies are still lies.

[maxsolomon]

13. So, his lawyers get to write the responses.

The walls aren't closing in after all. They're crafting a way for Trump to get out of the box. The old "plausible denial" dodge.

[Doreen]

14. Is Mueller going to let him write it in crayon?

[BigmanPigman]

15. That's what crossed my mind too.
