Mueller declares Trump's written testimony insufficient, demands oral testimony.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/mueller-asks-interview-trump-person-written-responses-not-enough-report/

CNN reported Friday evening that, according to two sources familiar with the matter, Trump’s responses were “not enough” and that the president’s lawyers have already denied the special counsel’s interview request.

“Mueller’s interest in talking with the president continues, and it includes an interest in asking questions about the president’s state of mind in regards to actions under scrutiny in the obstruction probe,” CNN’s Pamela Brown reported on-air.

The President's legal team has resumed some discussion with the special counsel in the weeks since Trump responded to written questions, mostly regarding possible collusion and the period before the inauguration, the two sources said.
Mueller's interest in talking with the President is believed to include asking questions about the Trump's state of mind in regard to actions under scrutiny in the obstruction of justice probe.





A prosecutor needs to prove two things:
That the accused did that evil thing.
And that the accused WANTED to do that evil thing.

Mueller has moved on to number two. Which means that he already has the evidence he needs for number one.

2 years have gone by already. If another 2 years go by, the SOB could win again.

in answering the questions Mueller had. It's kind of ironic, because normally you can't get rump to shut up.

And for the US justice system?

Or will republicans continue to lie, to cheat, and to betray the USA?

That is the truth. It is not trolling Trump.

The only way I'll be convinced otherwise is if Trump, under oath, answers questions for the special counsel.
Same as Bill Clinton did.

Despite what many of Trump's supporters say, I believe they know this to be the truth too.
