Trump’s Written Responses to Mueller’s Questions Are Revealed, and They’re PURE SNARK

Now that the Mueller report has been released, we’re getting a much better idea of what truly went on over the course of this long and EXPENSIVE investigation.

Among the most interesting parts, in my opinion, were Trump’s responses to Robert Mueller’s questions.

Why?

He brought the SNARK.

It’s clear he was OVER. IT…. just like the rest of us.

According to Fox News:

One of Mueller’s questions referred to a July 2016 campaign rally, when Trump said, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”

That was a reference to the slew of documents deleted from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Trump’s comment prompted numerous frenzied accusations that he was openly sending a signal to Russian hackers.

Anyone who didn’t get that this was OBVIOUSLY SNARKY clearly needs to have their sense of humor checked.

Mueller was one of them.

Mueller’s report noted that hours after Trump’s remarks, a Russian-led attempt to access some Clinton-linked email accounts was launched, although there was no evidence Trump or his team directed or coordinated with that effort.

“Why did you make that request of Russia, as opposed to any other country, entity or individual?” Mueller’s prosecutors asked.

Mueller’s report noted that after Trump’s statement, future National Security Adviser Flynn contacted operatives in hopes of uncovering the documents, and another GOP consultant started a company to look for the emails.

“I made the statement quoted in Question II (d) in jest and sarcastically, as was apparent to any objective observer,” Trump, speaking through his attorneys, shot back. “The context of the statement is evident in the full reading or viewing of the July 27, 2016, press conference, and I refer you to the publicly available transcript and video of that press conference.”

Translation: It was a joke, dumb a$$.

Separately, Mueller asked Trump why he previewed a speech in June 2016 by promising to discuss “all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons,” and what specifically he’d planned to talk about.

Trump didn’t hold back.

“In general, l expected to give a speech referencing the publicly available, negative information about the Clintons, including, for example, Mrs. Clinton’s failed policies, the Clintons’ use of the State Department to further their interests and the interests of the Clinton Foundation, Mrs. Clinton’s improper use of a private server for State Department business, the destruction of 33,000 emails on that server, and Mrs. Clinton’s temperamental unsuitability for the office of the president,” Trump responded.

After discussing other events, Trump concluded his reply: “I continued to speak about Mrs. Clinton’s failings throughout the campaign, using the information prepared for inclusion in the speech to which I referred on June 7, 2016.”

YESSSS.

What is this?! A “why are you mean to Hillary” interrogation?!

In all, Mueller’s 448-page report included 23 unredacted pages of Mueller’s written questions and Trump’s written responses.

And I fully intend to read ALL OF IT.
