Adam Schiff on the Mueller Questions

[OliverQ]

Adam is concerned about the money issues that don't seem to be on the list such as Deutsche Bank, the NRA Russian funding, etc.

Do you think Mueller avoided Trump's red line on his finances or will those likely be questions that he's not given a heads up on but Mueller is still looking at?

1. I think....

IF tRump ever answers these questions, Mueller will address Schiff's concerns amongst the questions he does ask.

2. Financial crimes are evidence based.... no need to ask questions.

A good chance he kicks those to Southern NY as well.

5. Good points.

However, isn't that also how they get defendants to purger themselves?

7. One could ask Trump the time of day and he would purger himself.

Seth Abramson published some of the questions with hypothetical answers and for almost ever one, he would either have to purger himself or confess as evidence.

3. I think financial crimes are a separate part of the investigaiton

And he may bring those up at another time. This part definitely seems closer to the original mission of investigating the campaign, and the obstruction that followed.

4. I am hopeful that Mueller

held the door on all of the financial crimes for AG Schneiderman to take over. Get the orange fuckwit out of office and lower the boom on him in the state of NY.

6. Mueller gave DT's lawyers those questions in early March.

Before the Cohen "raid," for example. New areas of questioning might have opened up in the intervening weeks.

Mr. Mueller was apparently unsatisfied. He told Mr. Dowd in early March that he needed to question the president directly to determine whether he had criminal intent when he fired Mr. Comey, the people said.

But Mr. Dowd held firm, and investigators for Mr. Mueller agreed days later to share during a meeting with Mr. Dowd the questions they wanted to ask Mr. Trump.

8. One would logically conclude then...

that this leak would destroy any trust Mueller might have in Trump's people in the future!

9. What is Mueller's team leaked these?

What if they believe Trump will not submit to an interview, and they wanted it out there how directly they are going after Trump?

These questions are going after Trump directly... not staff, not Flynn, or anyone else. Trump. These questions are about what Trump knew and did.

10. I think perjure is the right word - not purger?
