Mueller gives Trump's legal team questions for potential interview: report
Source: The Hill
Special counsel Robert Mueller has presented President Trump's legal team with a list of questions as investigators seek an interview with the president.
The New York Times reported Saturday that the questions were a sort of starting point for Mueller, whose team is working to negotiate an interview with Trump as part of the investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election.
It was after his legal team received the questions that Trump launched into a series of tweets, in which he denied that his campaign coordinated with Moscow during the 2016 election and lambasted Mueller's investigation as unnecessary.
In one Saturday night tweet, Trump asserted that Mueller's investigation should never have been opened in the first place, because there was "no collusion" and "no crime."

As far as Ive been able to figure out from talking to Apple and reading the admin here, heres whats going on.
DU was forced to remove some characters after the hack. Subsequently, Apple mobile apostrophes and quotation marks (maybe more?) are blocked here now. Locally, Elad is looking into a fix. Apple said thats too bad and I should speak to the site administrators.

(16,858 posts)If it is obvious that there should be an apostrophe I leave it, otherwise Ive just started getting creative in my choice of words! Lol, because I want to avoid sounding, as you say, wooden!

(7,527 posts)The thing he knows is DJT has historically about 25-30 minutes of attention-span before he goes squirrely off-script. He can prep like it's the SAT but he's a D+ student who ain't gonna be prepared to pass the truth exam.

(7,527 posts)I just meant as far as 45 "studying up" for anything.
For "schoolwork" I suspect he comes up with a good opening sentence and paragraph, then expects to bullshit his way through the middle on his charm and quick wit, then turn in the paper to the teacher with a $100 bill attached.

(19,193 posts)asking questions that will not embarrass or incriminate him.
He can't be asked any questions about Russia, his campaign, his business ventures, Stormy Daniels, any known criminals in his administration, or sexual fantasies about members of his immediate family. Other than that, the field for questioning is wide open, but please limit the questioning to 20 minutes because after that it cuts deeply into his "executive time".
I see nothing wrong with those stipulations. I'm sure everyone sets some sort of basic "don't go there" guidelines before being questioned by federal investigators. Oh yes, and absolutely nothing under oath. That pretty much goes without saying though.
You know, basic boilerplate stipulations.

(23,338 posts)His lawyers are just hoping Trump can listen to them during the interview.
I think Trump will assume he's smarter than Mueller, that he can charm and b.s. Mueller.
