As an overview, the letter is clearly intended to persuade Mueller
to give up any thought of interviewing Trump. I can't imagine Mueller
being persuaded. I analogize the letter to a poker player showing all
his cards and then trying to bluff the other players. This letter is
crazy. They threw out every conceivable argument against Chump
testifying. Some are hilarious. Others are just plain stupid. Many
contain made up facts (no surprise here). Throughout the letter they
talk about the President's desire for complete transparency. They say
there has been unprecedented cooperation given by the office of the
president. They have to be kidding. Chump has undermined the
investigation from day one. He had to be talked out of firing Mueller
and Rosenstein. He calls the investigation "phony." While they talk
about the millions of pages of documents which have been supplied, it is
almost a certainty that incriminating documents have been culled, if
not destroyed.
The letter says that all of the evidence shows there was no
collusion with Russia to influence the election and there is no evidence
of obstruction of justice. They must be kidding. There is a massive
amount of publicly known evidence of collusion. Who knows how much
additional evidence Mueller has? The Trump Tower meeting shows an
eagerness to get dirt on Hillary from Russia. The fact that no dirt was
produced at that meeting, is irrelevant to the fact that they were
colluding with Russia. This is only the most obvious, but not close to
being the only piece of evidence of Chump colluding with Russia.
Wickileaks disclosed thousands of documents from the DNC and from Leon
Panetta which they had stolen. Remember, just days before the dump,
Chump, publicly said , "wickileaks, I hope you have Hillary's emails.
Also please remember that days before the Trump tower meeting Chump
announced to the world that there would be very interesting information
coming out in a few days. Of course he knew about the meeting in
advance. He expected the meeting with the Russians to produce Hillary
dirt. And why did Chump write the memo about the meeting which he first
attributed to his son and has is now admittedly a lie? Why did he
feel it necessary to go to great lengths to cover up the meeting? How
about hiring Manafort, a known hack for Russian interests. How about
getting a change in the Republican platform. Collusion? Case closed.
Amazingly the lawyers admit that Chump dictated the memo and more
amazingly they say it was truthful.
I found the lawyer letter interesting because it mostly dealt
with the question of obstruction. I think that the question of
collusion with Russia is much more important. The obstruction question
goes to the cover up of the collusion.
For me the most disgusting part of the letter is a passage which
says that "there have been astounding public revelations about the
corruption within the FBI and the Department Of Justice which appears to
have led to the alleged Russian Collusion investigation and
establishment of the special counsel in the first place." I found that
statement breathtaking. Robert Mueller is the former head of the FBI.
My guess is that Mueller probably does not take kindly to a description
of the FBI as "corrupt". Furthermore, Mueller was appointed to his
position by the "corrupt" justice department. Did the lawyers
intentionally want to alienate Mueller? It so, they surely succeeded.
The letter says that the president is so busy with the
nation's business that he doesn't have time to be interviewed by
Mueller. Let's put aside the golf game for the moment. Last week Chump
supposedly went to Texas to meet with the victims of the latest mass
shooting. That was a convenient excuse to go to a couple of fundraising
events. Hardly the country's business.
The letter says that with all the testimony already obtained
plus the mountain of documents, Mueller has more than enough
information. Therefore he does not need Chump's testimony. It is so
interesting that Chump's lawyers feel compelled to tell Mueller what he
needs.
The letter states explicitly that Comey lied when he said
that Chump asked him to go easy on Flynn. Stunningly, the letter says
that they are advising Chump to not testify about this issue. They said
that Flynn did not lie to the FBI. It says that Flynn was confused.
Funny, I thought Flynn plead guilty for lying to the FBI.
The letter says that it is impossible for Chumpto obstruct
justice because the crime needs for there to be a "proceeding" such as a
trial. The lawyers are dead wrong. The letter flatly denies that
Comey was fired because of the Russian investigation. I guess they are
admitting that you can't take the word of Chump. The letter says that
Chump can terminate the special prosecutor for any reason or for no
reason. That sounds to me like the definition of obstruction of
justice. Did the lawyers think they could intimidate Mueller. My guess
is that he is non intimidatable.
I will close with this. The letter ends with the statement
that if the president is required to be interviewed, It would demean
the office of the presidency throughout the world. Let me give a
newsflash to Chump's lawyers, the office has been horribly demeaned by
their client. It goes without saying there is much more to laugh or cry
at in the letter. I leave it to you to read more. Thanks for
listening.
