On Friday President Trump said he has finished answering written questions from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The answers have not been submitted yet.
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, “I haven’t submitted them yet…I just finished them.”
The answers are written as answers to questions about whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump has repeatedly denied any such collusion with Moscow/Russians.
Trump said, “I was asked a series of questions. I’ve answered them very easily.”
He added that one has to “always be careful when you answer questions with people that probably have bad intentions.”
The president has not said when he would turn over the answers to Mueller.
The special counsel had given indication of a willingness to accept written answers on matters of collusion.
Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s attorney, has said repeatedly that the president would not answer Mueller’s questions on possible obstruction of justice.
Trump had talked privately with lawyers at the White House this week. Trump has made it clear in saying, “My lawyers don’t write answers, I write answers.”
The president initiated a new round of attacks on the probe. He said, “there should have never been any Mueller investigation.” He claimed that it was a waste of millions of dollars.
Trump denied being “agitated” by the probe in spite of his outburst of critical tweets the day before.
Trump Tweeted:
The inner workings of the Mueller investigation are a total mess. They have found no collusion and have gone absolutely nuts. They are screaming and shouting at people, horribly threatening them to come up with the answers they want. They are a disgrace to our Nation and don’t…

….care how many lives the ruin. These are Angry People, including the highly conflicted Bob Mueller, who worked for Obama for 8 years. They won’t even look at all of the bad acts and crimes on the other side. A TOTAL WITCH HUNT LIKE NO OTHER IN AMERICAN HISTORY!

Universities will someday study what highly conflicted (and NOT Senate approved) Bob Mueller and his gang of Democrat thugs have done to destroy people. Why is he protecting Crooked Hillary, Comey, McCabe, Lisa Page & her lover, Peter S, and all of his friends on the other side?

The only “Collusion” is that of the Democrats with Russia and many others. Why didn’t the FBI take the Server from the DNC? They still don’t have it. Check out how biased Facebook, Google and Twitter are in favor of the Democrats. That’s the real Collusion!

The special counsel was publicly quiet before last week’s midterm elections. Mueller investigation has suddenly returned to the head of Washington conversation and news outlets.
Rumors are rumbling that Mueller may be preparing more indictments. There has also been extensive media coverage of two Trump allies. They are Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi. They both say they expect to be charged.
Trump’s Twitter activity has not stopped especially in regard to targeting the special counsel even though his aides have warned him to stop.
Should Trump stop tweeting? I’d like to know what you think.
