Carlos Danger Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Byron York......the rest of the article is really good as well especially the part where the investigation was at a stand still more than a year ago. Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller completed his investigation without ever interviewing President Trump. The two sides wrangled over the issue for much of the Mueller investigation before Trump finally agreed to answer questions in writing. Now, in a new podcast interview, a former lawyer for the president, John Dowd, said the wrangling became so contentious that he threatened Mueller with "war" if the special counsel subpoenaed the president. Dowd, who was Trump's lawyer from June 2017 to March 2018, said Mueller was hampered by two daunting problems. The first was that Mueller could not establish that a crime had occurred — that there had been conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia to fix the 2016 election. Indeed, the Mueller report, as quoted in Attorney General William Barr's summary of its findings, said "the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities" and "the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-in-subpoena-fight-trump-lawyer-told-mueller-you-want-to-do-it-youve-got-yourself-a-war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyAspirated Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 If Mueller were to interview Trump it would be the end of Trump's admin. Collusion or otherwise would have collapsed him. Trump should thank his lucky stars he didn't have to interview. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP is supposed to be used when a underlying crime has already been found not as a politically motivated fishing expedition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
