The President is not a fool. Only a fool would have agreed to be questioned by Mueller unless they were bound by law to do so.
Bold: Not true. He did cooperate. That is in the report. He gave them everything they asked for - not claiming executive privilege (not once, tho he could have.)

Even through Trump answered the questions he chose to answer, you are saying Trump did not have a chance to respond. Obvious contraction.
Your point about there being no law to indict for obstruction⌠clearly wrong. There is a law and there is a DOJ tradition that you do not indict sitting Presidents, not codified in law or Constitution.
Guiliani is tearing apart the âreport doesnât exonerate himâ line this morning. As he said, what prosecutor in the history of American, Roman, or any other societyâs history of justice has ever tried to prove anyoneâs innocence? For that matter, why does anyoneâs innocence need to be proven? That isnât the burden of proof in this country and never has been. The whole investigation was a sham from the beginning. Itâs why the Democrats are STILL talking about impeachment. That was their goal all along, regardless of what the report says.
As for the Russian âinterferenceâ â â â â â â â â â we âinterfereâ in othersâ elections all the time. Our nation was founded on Freedom, yet here we are again talking about censoring speech because itâs from another country and it might affect who people decide to vote for? Seriously? Did Russiaâs âinterferenceâ actually physically change any votes that were cast in the 2016 election? No. Russia certainly never hacked into any voting machines. They werenât able to. This has always been much ado about nothing and is just another illustration in a long long long line of just how far we have strayed from what this country was built on. And how was Russia able to get this critical vital and damaging information to âinterfereâ with in the first place? The mishandling of classified emails by a Democrat who was campaigning on going to war with Russia? The improper security on the DNC servers? Letâs place the blame where it actually belongs for once, shall we?
What prosecutor in history has ever been tasked with investigating the possibility of criminal conduct while facing the reality that no matter what he finds, he cannot recommend charges be brought and therefore canât even acknowledge a crime was committed?
You mean like Comey? Only there was plenty of evidence found. He just brought forth a recommendation despite it.
There is a difference between deciding conduct doesnât rise to the level of a criminal charge versus knowing from the beginning that no matter what you find, guidelines prevent you from even considering the possibility of charging someone.
Yes because itâs the job of a prosecutor to decide whether or not conduct rises to the level of a criminal charge rather than a judge or jury. Oh wait. Besides which, wasnât it Lynchâs job to decide that? Oh right, she was âcompromised.â How convenient.
So your position is that Russian interference in the election was acceptable and we should do nothing to address this going forward.
I suppose that is what you think a patriotic should do on April 19th.
Iâm saying it wasnât actually interference. But then I believe in freedom. So yeah, I guess that makes me a patriot. What does that make you?
Thatâs brilliant.
Yesterday, Trump called the Mueller report a âcomplete exoneration.â Today Trump is calling it âcrazyâ and his flacks are back to bashing the report.
What is brilliant in that?
This sound so much like the Soviet Politburo and all the party loyalists jumping to the new party line. Arenât you the least embarrassed by these constant shifts?
Who cares? If you think Trump is what is wrong with this country, you have bigger problems.
Do you know what questions Mueller asked? Did he leave some questions blank?
Mueller spent 2 years looking for that obstruction law.
What âobstruction lawâ was Mueller âlooking forâ?
People have to have time to read the report.
You should be embarrassed that yâall spent this much time and ended up proving that President Trump was right from the start. It was a Witch Hunt and a Hoax.
LOL. One that would fit, I guess.
Yeah, Maryland is a great example of conservative gerrymandering, right? Oh wait, only republicans use those methods⌠right?
Yesterday, it was a total exoneration. Can you explain this change?
It still is, isnât it? Barr and Rosenstein decided it was.
Excellent question by Giuliani⌠and a stunning critique of A.G. Barr, who took on the job of exonerating Trump in his summary of the Mueller Report two weeks ago.
Do you agree with Giulianiâs attack that Barr exceeded his authority in summarizing the Mueller Report?
