Trump says he answered written questions in Mueller probe

Source: AP

President Donald Trump says he has answered written questions from special counsel Robert Mueller but hasn’t yet submitted them.

Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday that he answered the questions “very easily” this week but added that “you have to always be careful.”

The president did not say when he would turn over the answers to Mueller as part of the ongoing investigation into possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.

Trump had huddled with lawyer at the White House this week but made clear: “my lawyers don’t write answers, I write answers.”

Mueller had signaled a willingness to accept written answers on matters of collusion. The White House has said it would not answer Mueller’s questions on possible obstruction of justice.

It's clear he's only semi-literate, and since his spoken language is often nonsensical, I suspect his written version could easily be the basis of an unbreakable code.

And he's apparently hired Whittaker to remove Mueller's pass to the Special Counsel's office ...

“my lawyers don’t (didn't) write [the] answers, I write (wrote) [the] answers.”

Grammar and Trump not so much. BTW I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure
that Mr. Trump will get a chance to explain his answers in front of a grand jury
sometime in the near future.

It's pretty worthless. Unless Mueller wants to see what he's lying about already.

Your vocabulary has boundaries. For you to answer those questions on your own goes way beyond your vocabulary boundaries.
"Look Jane see Spot run" is pushing the limits for you

I'd just love for him to be subpoenaed to review the answers that he had no part in answering.

There's no way he'd have the patience to actually respond to those questions himself.

That's because it's easier for him to lie than tell the truth.

Although who are we kidding, he can do and say whatever he wants to after the fact. And if all else fails the tried and tested excuse of...."Hey, it was just a joke!"
