Questions from Mueller covered four primary topic areas: the Trump Tower meeting in June 2016, the Russian effort to interfere with the election, the proposed development project in Moscow and contacts with Russia or Russia-related issues during the campaign and transition. In total, the Mueller team asked 38 distinct questions with 37 follow-ups.

Trump offered 22 distinct answers. In 19 of those answers, he claims not to remember or recall some particular issue. Often, those failures to remember what happened constitute the entirety of his response.

Questions related to obstruction of justice weren’t answered at all.

The Mueller report noted, in reference to Trump’s responses, “We viewed the written answers to be inadequate.” Imagine that.

But to appreciate what makes this even more amazing, it’s worth revisiting how proud the president was in his answers.

Circling back to our earlier coverage, Trump originally claimed he was eager to sit down with investigators to answer their questions. When the president’s legal defense team realized he’d inevitably lie, they negotiated the terms of a written interview, about which Trump was eager to boast.

“I write the answers.” Trump told reporters six months ago. “My lawyers don’t write answers, I write answers. I was asked a series of questions. I have answered them very easily. Very easily…. The questions were very routinely answered by me. By me. Okay?”

As it turns out, the Republican answered the questions “very easily” because it doesn’t take a lot of effort to skip over difficult lines of inquiry, while writing, “I don’t remember” in response to the others.

Trump has bragged more than once that he has “one of the great memories of all time” I’m starting to think that might not be altogether true.

You clearly haven't read the Mueller report if you believe the bolded.

Alright then, let's play.

Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer cleared by Lynch under extraordinary circumstances known as "immigration parole" to remain in country- who did she meet with prior to Junior at the tower?

Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS- the same people who released that Steel dossier paid for by Clinton.

Hmmm, does this sound like "Russian collusion" or was it in fact a set up?

If was a set up, how far up in the Obama administration did this go and who orchestrated this?

So many questions.

My main question is why the Trump campaign was so eager to work with Russians to get dirt on Hillary. Why didn't they inform the FBI they had received overtures from Russians? Why were there at least 140 contacts between Russians and the Trump campaign? Why did Trump say that he believed Putin that Russia didn't try to interfere in the election -- a lie that the Mueller report has fully exposed.

So many questions.

If anything the Russians were willing to meet with Trump's people to create certain optics- I believe to frame him on behalf of the prior admin. The female lawyer comes to mind, Misfud, and then some loose connections in between. They were already working with Hillary brokering uranium sales- so honestly, who would you rather have as President if you were Putin? A hardline "America first" guy or someone whose known for "pay for play" schemes? I think we'll find out soon enough once the counter investigation comes out.

Trump is the most pro-American President we've had in decades, rough around the edges, but at least he wasn't a manufactured candidate. The first in a long time that wasn't pre-picked by the uni-party system. I think history will view him kindly.

And don't forget that Joseph Mifsud was mentioned 88 times in the Mueller report, yet not interviewed and not seen for the past 2 years.

Where in the world is Joseph Mifsud? Probably dead. He was GRU. Like others named in the Steel dossier who died mysteriously in Jan 2017

Why was he placed there to introduce Papadopoulos, then foreign policy advisor to Trump- to "Putin's niece"? I don't know, ask Vlad.

Another random meeting or another set up to create the optics of "Russian collusion".
