Why has Trump agreed to give written answers to Mueller’s questions?
Face palm
“Why has Trump agreed to give written answers to Mueller’s questions?”
According to Jay Sekulo who was on Hannity tonight that has not been agreed to. However talks are continuing.
This could work out; it shows Trump's willingness to cooperate with Spec Counsel, while permitting him to claim executive privilege on Presidential decisions. Mueller has no authority to force the issue... The result could be a demand that Mueller wrap up his costly investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. If the SC does not comply, then after the midterm elections, POTUS fires him.
If the SC and the Dims scream then POTUS has the authority to force Mueller to reveal what he has, AND to reveal it himself if Mueller refuses to comply. Altogether different than Watergate - which might also have fallen apart if the GOP ever had the guts to fight.
“Why has Trump agreed to give written answers to Mueller’s questions?”
Maybe it’s because his lawyers have not been successful in talking him out of it? Trump might think he can swagger in and talk his way out of this. Not a good idea.
