Jesus, I thought the title was an SNL tease.
So that’s the strategy: Wear down Mueller’s people until they run screaming from the room!
What the hell, it’s as good an approach as any for tRump.
The questions were:
- How big was your coronation crowd?
- How many woman have you groped?
The stammering, yammering, & hair-splitting would be agonizing to a rational being.
Perhaps if they turned off the TV with FOX NEWS on in the back ground and prevented him from guzzling diet Cokes they could escalate the pace.
Or incentive it by letting him watch 5 mins of pee-pee porn every time he answers a question.
“Mr Trump’s loquaciousness”…
What an, um, interesting formulation for “attention span of a gnat combined with inability to listen, hear or learn from anyone, spiced up with the need to be smarter, more stabile and more virile than anyone else in the room.”
Oh, yeah, and those interruptions about “national-security matters”? They were wrestling his cell phone from him.
- What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
- What is your favorite color?
…Mr. Trump’s lawyers were only able to walk him through two questions, given the frequent interruptions on national-security matters…
Trump has national security matters that can’t wait a few hours to get an answer?
The first question was “State your name”.
Asian or European swallow?
Trump’s never going to appear before Mueller to answer questions.
“Loquacious” is not a strong enough word for a person who takes two hours to answer questions such as “Why did you fire Comey?” or “Did you really think you would get away with this?” or for any question at all really. The thing to call that is “mentally ill.” Two questions, four straight hours of verbiage. I’m sure there’s a clinical term for obsessive, non-stop talk but JFC that’s really nuts.
Sources say he never even got past Question #1 on the cognitive ability test. I believe it involved connecting dots.
“[Insert question here]”
“Yabba daba cadabra I’m the smartest man in the universe and this answer magically fixes everything!”
“No no no that gets you convicted. Try again.”
“Babble dabble fluffernutter pie! See, I told you I could beat this!”
“Can’t say that. They’ll use it as an admission against you.”
“Huffin’ puffin’ blow your investigation down!!!”
“We just went over this. Mueller probably already has evidence that’s not true and you’ll be nailed with perjury.”
And so on and so forth…
Four hours, just for two questions ! You know there has to be a whole slew of actionable perjuries in these lengthy answers . So many that the Special Counsel couldn’t possibly charge him for all of them. Imagine what it would be like to charge him with 1,234 cont of perjury for just one answer.
Sort of. More like, take so long that they barely get through any questions and then Trump’s team goes to the Court complaining about how long the Mueller team is keeping the POTUS from his duties.
Question 1 was what is your name
Question 2 was what is your address
Innocent people wouldn’t need to take so long.
I hope all of his damned lawyers go home each night and cry themselves to sleep. There is no way they can prepare him for a voluntary interview, but a subpoena is gonna mean much, much, much worse. They’re caught between a huge rock and a very, very hard place.
Any bets on how many may leave in the coming weeks?
