Discussion: Mueller Has Trump’s Answers...Now What?

Dear Mr. Mueller,

I realize we’ve asked much of you already, that you’ve endured endless harassment from that pig-eyed sack of shit squatting in 1600 but, if you would like to give us something extra special to be thankful for this year, an indictment or 20 wouldn’t go unnoticed today.

Warm regards,

Millions of Americans

The Republican president’s answers will be incomplete, irrelevant, vague in the extreme and willfully obtuse, in effect non-answers, forcing Mueller to choose between a further delay and going ahead with what little he’s got. The Republican lawyers will always play for more time, the overall strategy being to drag this out as long as possible in order make the survival of the Republican president a matter of electoral politics, not the law. The Republican party will try to make 2020 a referendum on the ‘witch-hunt’ and hope that a hyper-partisan election will keep their leader in the White House, restore the House to GOP control. That’s pretty much their only play here, and it’s why Democrats needs to move right away with investigations, etc.

Note: edited to remove all references to Trump as such. I’m trying to teach myself to describe him as accurately as possible, namely as the Republican leader chosen and supported by his party for party advantage. Trump isn’t the cancer. The GOP is.

Now What?

Lock him up!
Lock him up!
Lock him up!
Lock him up!

(Ooh, that does feel good. Even though I am ending a sentence with a preposition.)

Presuming Trump replied with some degree of untruth in every answer to every incisive question from the special counsel, I imagine Trump’s Thanksgiving holiday will be less pleasing, and more sleepless for him than usual.

Now what? I’m guessing the Special Counsel will start with a modest jigger of scotch and furious, nigh-uncontrollable laughter.

I’m not sure that Mueller will or should press a subpoena fight with Trump. If he has enough to indict Don Jr and send a damning report to to Congress, what is gained by having the guy standing over the dead body with the smoking gun saying “It wasn’t me, honest”?

I read yesterday there are three dozen sealed indictments.

That’s a buttload.

53 at last count.

Can’t say how many are connected to SC’s office.

As always, the answers will be Trumped Up, aka incriminating evidence of the on-going collusion corruption, and cover-up.

Up is both / either an “indirect object” with no accompany preposition (lock where: up), or “adverb” here (lock him how? up), depending on your interpretation of “up” in this context.

The dotard has no idea what was submitted as “his” answers to the questions. Dotard’s handlers spoke for him lest he speak in his own voice and totally incriminate the entire administration further.

Having drafted and received many answers to interrogatories, I’m guessing Trump has simply not been responsive to the most pointed and incriminating questions. In the end, Trump doesn’t care how the answers appear or read because he lives in a bubble of sycophants that protect him from reality.

One thing not to assume is that Rump wrote these responses himself without any “help.” On the other hand, given his most recent statement on Saudi Arabia, he may be just insane enough to assume he’s the smartest guy in the room, not the Toddler in Chief with the thinking skills that would have his Kindergarten teacher recommending that he be held back for a year–or two----or?

The ending of a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I shall not put.

Mueller should have made exceptions to the normal investigative format and told the Trump administration that he’d accept answers in the form of Tweets.

How many times does he get to revise his answers? See: Jared, Whitaker, etc.

Too bad Mueller would not be eligible for this:
