‘They melted down’: MSNBC’s Mika says Trump and his lawyers ‘freaked out’ after seeing Mueller’s questions

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski said President Donald Trump and his legal team panicked over the weekend after special counsel Robert Mueller previewed some of the questions he’ll ask in a face-to-face interview.

The special counsel reportedly sent the questions to Trump and his lawyers as they negotiate terms and conditions for Mueller’s interview, and the president called him out by name for the first time on Twitter — and his attorney John Dowd called for the Russia probe’s end.

“Just watching this story from the outside, not even knowing Trump, I have a little bit of insight to his patterns, but it appears that the questions freak them out,” Brzezinski said. “They melted down.”

Former White House press secretary Josh Earnest agreed, and he said Trump’s attacks on the investigation and his attempts to influence where it goes suggest he’s guilty.

1. Some on their panel also said that trump might be able to stop the investigation by firing certain

people and putting in scarier people. ryan and mcconnell aren't protecting Mueller.

[SayItLoud]

41. The F'n MORON will

Not fire Mueller, he will have someone else do it

He will fire Rod Rosentein and anyone else who will not fire Mueller until he gets his stooge in place

OR

He will have his new stooge limit the $ Mueller has for the investigation in order to choke Mueller off

He will refuse to answer questions in person

Mueller will

Reveal a secret indictment of the Moron to stop him from issuing pardons galore

Reveal that NYAG has indictments against the tRUMP KLAN and they will have to testify

Ryan and McConnell will remain silent through all of this.

VOTE VOTE VOTE

45. If republicans are dumb enough to let go a second Saturday Night Massacre,

They'll be so destroyed in Nov that they will all be applying for jobs to fold towels at the Capitol Gym. And the ones who aren't quite AS guilty will jump ship and roll the fuck over for mueller (which means they'll start stabbing the fuck out of the the ones that they can claim are more guilty).

If you thought the infights were bad in the WH, just WAIT till the WH goes down and starts to take the GOP Majorities with it. THATS when the Real Knives will come out.

You ain't seen nuthin yet.

[duforsure]

2. It suggests

He's guilty of obstructing now, again. All the other things he can't escape justice. Lie or tell the truth, both paths to guilty. He's going to fire Mueller. He won't testify I think, and then he'll get removed from office, by republiCONS, or if they don't then Democrats will get voted into office to make sure its done after all republiCONS are targeted for removal too. He's desperate, and scared.

[Zorro]

13. Despite all the reassurances I believe Trump will do what he can to get Mueller fired

Trump will do whatever it takes to not testify under oath.

[japple]

37. Or tRUMP will agree to testify under oath (against the advice of his legal team)

and try to lie his way out of it and end up looking like Capt. Queeg. This is my hands-down favorite scenario. I don't think it will happen, but would love to see the movie nonetheless.

[Volaris]

46. I'd pay Premium to watch that cross live.

[PearliePoo2]

3. Mika also said that over the weekend her sources told her...

that the physical threats against Stormy Daniels were made while BLOTUS was President!

AND...Mika KNOWS who made them (the threats)!

This could be big and hurt him in a legal/criminal way. God I hope so, this bastard has to be taken out NOW!

K&R

[Texin]

21. The first person who came to my mind was Keith Schiller.

This goon left D.C. several months ago, but he returned to Trump Tower as I recall, so he's never really left the employ of the sitting 'resident. If he made those threats from NY, then he would be under NY jurisdiction for any legal consequences; furthermore, if he made the threats at the behest of his boss - and you know he did so - that would involve tRump directly. Regardless, whomever threatened this woman (and the purported others) did so on behalf of the 'resident and Don the Con would have a pretty hard time trying to mansplain his way out of those allegations.

[CrispyQ]

47. So much irony in the thought of a woman or group of women taking the Con down.

He must be about to blow a gasket, it's coming at him on so many fronts. And for the first time ever in his life, he's being held accountable.

[riversedge]

49. Would be a beatiful Karma day.

[True Blue American]

4. Oh,it is going to come out

Sooner or later. Trump will be exposed and the truth is a thousand times worse than Nixon or Clinton!

Karma is insidious. This will also blow back on Pence, Mitch, Ryan,Sessions, Nunes. I knew Sessions was a sleaze ball. Did not realize how bad he is.

You can see, Republicans are already pulling away. They are no going down with this corrupt mob.

[Demsrule86]

18. Clinton was fine...that investigation really was a 'witch hunt' And clinton never tried to subvert

the constitution...so lets not play the 'Democrats are almost as bad game because it is not true.

[True Blue American]

35. Oh,yes,I know.

They found nothing until Linda Tripp and Lucianne Goldberg came up wopith their plane Andy pushed Monica.

I think Daniels has much more on Trump. Threats,etc.

[stonecutter357]

19. worse than Clinton ?

[tanyev]

5. "Not even knowing Trump". Disingenuous much, Mika?

[gratuitous]

6. Yeah, what's that about?

One other thing: If Legal Team Trump was freaking out over possible questions, keep in mind that Mueller already knows the answer to each and every one of them. Answer truthfully, and Trump is fucked. Answer untruthfully or evasively, and Trump is fucked times perjury.

[erronis]

8. Fucked once for committing the crimes, fucked again for lying about them.

Sure would be nice to have the dump on the other end of a long stick. With no vaseline on it.

[Botany]

12. Please! Trump to Mika before they go on the air. No hard questions.

After some cross-talk, co-host Joe Scarborough said, “We really have to get you some questions.”

“That’s right, nothing too hard Mika,” Trump interjected.

“Okay,” Brzezinski said.

[Cha]

7. Yeah, Big Strong Suggestion

that trump's guilty, Josh Earnest(fave press sec)

Thanks, UCmeNdc

[joshdawg]

9. Of course, he's guilty.

No suggestion of that at all.
trump knows he's guilty and he's trying to do everything he can to stop Mueller.

[Roy Rolling]

10. Trump, Meet the Master Negotiator, Mr. Mueller

The president thinks of himself self as master negotiator. Robert Mueller has outplayed him. Instead of keeping his and secret, Mueller has showed from a few of his cards to strike viewer into him.

There is a famous historical negotiating example from the 1980s when Argentina and Britain were at war over the Faulkland islands in South America.

Britain and Argentina we're facing armed conflict when Argentina declared that the British owned Falkland islands were suddenly the property of Argentina. Instead of sending planes and troops immediately to return the islands, Margaret Thatcher sent a group of battleships on a week long journey to Argentina. She announced they were on the way, that revealed her strategy.

So Argentina had a few days to contemplate whether they wanted the British Navy to annihilate argentine forces on Falklands. Argentina back down and abandoned their invasion attempt.

Robert Mueller is doing the same thing. He has shown Trump that he is overwhelmingly at a disadvantage, and should just resign.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

11. Trump is used to testifying in civil lawsuits.

He's never faced a prosecutor, at least as far as I know. Even if he has, I doubt he's ever faced a prosecutor as sharp and dedicated as Robert Mueller. And that's doubly true in this case, with the team Mueller has put together, who are all experts in their respective fields.

And whereas what's at stake in a civil lawsuit is money, in a criminal case he's looking at the possibility of real jail time for himself and Jarvanka (who he'll throw under the bus, if he believes their presence threatens him). Better stay away from airplanes, Jarvanka. Oops! Too late.

[rzemanfl]

23. Check your history please. n/t

[Hugin]

40. Yeah, I seem to remember actual conflict in the Falklands.

So does the ol' wiki...

It says the war went on for 10 weeks.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War

[hedda_foil]

26. "To strike viewer into him"?

[Achilleaze]

14. republican Draft-Dodger Dirty Donny has always been a coward

Likes to act tuff, have other people be tough for him, but is a full-on chickenhawk draft-dodging, casino-hustling coward of the first rank. So it's not surprising that they were all peeing in their republican diapers over the weekend.

Shame on him and his KGOP republican toadies.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Is Mueller following the campaign cash?

Sounds like they're following the financial statements, real estate deals, and Russian contacts just fine.


They keep saying he's going higher up the food chain. OK. Fine. What about the political slush funds? And voting irregularities? Maybe those are further down the food chain and will fall into line when the other structures are flushed out.

[beachbum bob]

16. every question that will be asked of trump, mueller already knows the answer and has the

evidence to support it. This is the way you bust the top level of any criminal organization, just like he did with the mafia.


trump is screwed, republicans are screwed whether trump talks to or fires mueller

[not fooled]

30. "The golfing mafioso"

Our current "president".

[blugbox]

36. Haha, your nickname is great

But to stick in minds, it seems alliteration works.

How about "Mulligan Mafioso"?

BTW I hope the meltdown in trump's mind is real every day. I hope he hasn't slept comfortably in a year.

[Nitram]

17. Part of Mueller's strategy: if he is fired after they read the questions, that is obstruction of

justice.

[machoneman]

22. Yes to obstruction (to add to other charges) But its much more than that.

Mueller's team has already pieced together the whole story (and they have for sure) and have charges awaiting. If the questions handed to Trump's attorney's have unnerved them, it's all part of his plan to do just that. If Trump ever testifies, even if it's unlikely, the goal WAS to plant in his mind, and that of his lawyers, a big glimpse of what the FBI already knows and even provides a glance at what charges they will bring.

It's a time-honored tactic designed to do a number of things. Only one of which is to perhaps as a long-shot: get Trump to resign.

But, the great 'plant' in his mind is that if he does quit the WH, now he's caught between and big rock and a hard place.

Why?

Once he becomes a private citizen, all the charges can and will apply as he will have lost the privileges of the Presidency. And that my friends includes the right to pardon others and even himself. So, this big Gordian Knot can't be unraveled.

Nice power play Mueller!

[asiliveandbreathe]

28. Exactly!!!! eom

[poboy2]

29. true.

In a similar way, Stormy's lawyer has him in this 'pincer move'. Admit he is DD to attempt to enforce vs. not.

[uponit7771]

31. Trump openly talked about being sexually attracted to his daughter multiple times, I don't get

... what the issue with Stormy Daniels is seeing Red Don is shameless.

[poboy2]

32. It has to be something very emasculating and/or depraved. -nt

[CrispyQ]

48. It's not the sex, it's the payoff.

If he had a secret fund set up to pay these women off during his campaign, I think that's illegal.

[kentuck]

20. And everyone was saying that Mueller would not give him written questions??

That he would want to interview him face-to-face.

What happened to that theory?

[flibbitygiblets]

25. machonemane has a theory, right above your post

It's a pretty good one.

[malaise]

24. Of course they freaked out

Guilty

[asiliveandbreathe]

27. The questions are freaking the dumpster out!!!

“Just watching this story from the outside, not even knowing Trump, I have a little bit of insight to his patterns, but it appears that the questions freak them out,” Brzezinski said. “They melted down.”

From the questions the dumpster has figured out Mr. Mueller has the answers, just wants confirmation - IMHO...

Nope, Trumpypants will not meet with Muellers team.....under oath?? Ain't happenin'....

[LakeArenal]

33. P.S. I really like Josh Earnest.

[red dog 1]

34. Trump is a coward - He will do whatever he has to do to avoid answering Mueller's questions

K&R

[orangecrush]

38. He is freaking

that much is obvious!

[Blue Owl]

39. Witch hunt witches: "We're melting!"

n/t

[Mc Mike]

42. Go down, you lumbering distempered shambling dissheveled orange water buffalo, you. rec, nt

[No-Bozos]

43. Little doubt Mueller has the goods

It's no secret President Bone Spurs has trouble separating his fantasy world from the real one.

I think we can be confident Mueller has backup plan ready to go if Orange Tang is able to fire him. For instance, the New York state attorney general is well versed in prosecuting financial crimes. Comb over could well avoid some of the federal crimes he is guilty of but his position gives him no protection for state crimes. You can be sure NY and Mueller are sharing.

Along those same lines, it is my fervent wish to see Jared do the perp walk. I also pray the football may be temporarily misplaced.

[C Moon]

44. Just his 'congrats to you Putin for winning your relection, we'll meet very soon!' Should suffice.

What is with the GOP and the boneheads in the U.S. who stand behind this guy?
He's a class-A traitor. In fact, that seems to be the ONLY thing he's been able to accomplish in his criminal life.
