Yes please answer these and HOPE AG Barr doesn't arrest you for lying to Congress!!
The Hill ^
Would you have charged Trump if it werenât for the OLC opinion?
Democrats want to know if Mueller would have charged Trump with obstruction of justice in the absence of an Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion from the Justice Department that says a sitting president canât be indicted.
Why did your office write a letter to Barr objecting to his March 24 memo?
Mueller wrote to Barr on May 27 objecting to the attorney generalâs four-page memo from a few days earlier outlining the Russia reportâs principal conclusions, a revelation that sparked a firestorm in Washington on the eve of Barrâs public testimony before the Senate.
Did you blame the media on your call with Barr?
Lawmakers are sure to inquire about Muellerâs interactions with Barr following the March 27 letter, when he asserted that the attorney generalâs March 24 memo âdid not fully capture the context, nature, and substanceâ of his work and conclusions.
Did any Trump campaign contacts with Russia put national security at risk?
House Intelligence Committee Democrats are particularly interested in the counterintelligence implications of Muellerâs report and whether any contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow posed national security risks, even if they didnât amount to criminal conduct.
Did your investigation exonerate Trump of âcollusionâ and obstruction allegations?
Trump has cheered the Mueller report as vindicating him of allegations of âcollusionâ and obstruction of justice.
But Democrats and other critics of the president note that Muellerâs report explicitly states that there was no evaluation of alleged âcollusionâ â a term often used by the press, Trump administration officials and lawmakers to describe accusations of coordination or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
Should Congress initiate an impeachment inquiry?
Some Democrats took Muellerâs statement on May 29 as a green light to start impeachment proceedings against Trump.
In his terse nine-minute remarks, Mueller did not mention impeachment but said the Constitution ârequires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoingâ while explaining his decision not to reach a judgment on obstruction. Heâs likely to be asked what he meant by that.
At what point did you know the investigation was not going to establish conspiracy between the campaign and Russia?
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a Trump ally and Judiciary Committee member, previewed this question in an appearance on Fox News.
What role did the Steele dossier play in the investigation?
Republicans have focused on the early stages of the Russia investigation before Mueller took it over in May 2017. Of particular interest to them is the FBIâs use of information from the controversial Steele dossier in an application to surveil onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The dossier is fleetingly referenced in Muellerâs report in the context of Trumpâs reactions to media reports about its allegations and his interactions with then-FBI Director James Comey.
Why did you select people for your team who mostly donated to Democrats?
Another point of contention for GOP lawmakers has been the makeup of Muellerâs team of prosecutors, many of whom are registered Democrats.
Why didnât you compel Trump to be interviewed?
Some legal experts have criticized Muellerâs decision not to issue a subpoena to compel Trump to testify under oath â a move that undoubtedly would have provoked a prolonged court fight.
