Tuesday, President Trump declared that it’s “disgraceful” for a list of questions that Mueller’s special counsel wants to ask him to be “leaked” to the mainstream news media.
The President is referring to the nearly four dozen interview questions The New York Times published late Monday, including Trump’s motives for firing FBI Director James Comey and communications between Trump campaign officials and Russian actors.
“It is so disgraceful that the questions concerning the Russian Witch Hunt were ‘leaked’ to the media,” Trump tweeted Tuesday. “No questions on Collusion. Oh, I see…you have a made up, phony crime, Collusion, that never existed, and an investigation begun with illegally leaked classified information. Nice!” wrote Trump in a tweet Tuesday.

Trump also added: “It would seem very hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened.”

At the time of this publication, Trump’s comments have been retweeted over 16k times!
The president has repeatedly has called Mueller’s investigation a “witch hunt” and maintains there was no collusion between his campaign and Russia.
Many of the questions published by The Times focus on the obstruction argument, including his reaction to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusal from the Russia investigation, a decision which put Trump in a difficult place and he has angrily criticized.
Additional questions zero in on Michael Flynn, Trump’s former NSA, who has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his discussions with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition. Flynn is now cooperating with Mueller’s investigators, and yet no evidence about Trump collusion has come of it.
One question reads: “What did you know about phone calls that Mr. Flynn made with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, in late December 2016?” Does Mueller honestly believe Trump knows about all the phone calls made during his white house transition by the hundreds of people involved in his administration? Mueller’s investigation is grabbing at straws at this point.
Trump has also accused James Comey of leaking classified information. This has yet to be verified, however, Comey has verifiably leaked sensitive information to the press indirectly and then lied about it.
It’s definitely interesting how Mueller can’t seem to find any evidence to link Trump to any wrongdoing, yet this sensitive information seems to flow to the public so easily.
