    the definition of a fishing expedition

    Mueller has a target and is fishing for a crime

    Trump (nor anyone else) should never talk to the FBI

    By asking all the relevant questions? Lol

    If you are a liar like trump, you definitely shouldn’t. And he won’t.

    Those questions sound like he's going after Trump. For most of those, I don't think there's any good answer Trump could possibly give. These questions seem pretty pointed and it seems like Mueller is asking questions about evidence he already has. It's like he's just trying to get confirmation or see if Trump can clarify any of the topics on which Mueller has evidence.

    Give the Times article a read if you haven't seen it yet - a lot more detail.

    That's a very specific fishing trip - perhaps it's Jeremy Wades journal for season 10 of River Monsters.

    Yeah, you know you could never go fishing with Trump. Every fish he caught would be a world record on twitter.

    Trump is doing a good job of building the case against himself.

    To be fair, what the **** is the purpose of any of his tweets? Only three possibilities: bully someone (like the Comey tweet), self aggrandize (and thereby fire up base in many cases), or manipulate the stupid go-fetch media.

    I've never seen a tweet that wasn't specifically targeted at one of those since his campaign began. Maybe Mueller can reformat to multiple choice?

    Knowing our President likes to get pissed on and spanked with magazines was enough, I reeeeeally didn't need to think about him making pig noises during sex. Thanks a lot for bringing that to my attention.

    As they say, never ask a question you don't already know the answer to. Anybody who has heard President Trump speak knows he'd perjure himself within the first few minutes of his word soup.

    All hats aside, do you have any interest in what the factual answers to those questions would be? (Not necessarily 45's answers, which would probably fluctuate even within one meeting). To me, they seem key to fully understanding Russia's involvement in 2016 and, separately, what our president did in the early stages of this investigation.
