Mueller questions 'leak' could mean trouble for Trump lawyers: Experts
Washington Examiner ^ | May 1, 2018

Posted on 05/01/2018 1:43:37 PM PDT by deplorableindc

President Trump’s attorneys could face professional discipline after their client alleged that notes they took on special counsel Robert Mueller’s planned interview questions were leaked without his permission.

Trump denied giving his consent to release a document listing the questions, tweeting Tuesday, "So disgraceful that the questions concerning the Russian Witch Hunt were 'leaked' to the media."

If Trump's lawyers shared the document without his permission, they could face a yearslong disciplinary process that threatens their ability to practice law.

Maybe they were leaked by Mueller’s team. Maybe they were not Trump’s notes but Mueller’s.

Trump is not going to testify.

The questions regardless of origin are meant to solidify public support ahead of Trump’s pending announcement.

Trump should publish his own list of serious questions for Mueller regarding all the open ended felonies committed by deep state. Shove it right up Mueller’s ...

It sounds like the accusation of who leaked them was not made by Trump at all. This is what the media is reading into Donald’s tweeted complaint. Oh, their wonderful Feds couldn’t have possibly leaked them.

Well, unless they did.

Granted, if Trump has a dodgy lawyer, it’s good that this person was flushed out. But we know too little to say.

Was it intentional? Grossly negligent or just extremely careless?

This was leaked to show what an azz-clown Mueller & his team are. The leak will never be traced back to Trump & Rudy, but my guess is that’s where it came for & good on them. It’s time to fight fire with fire....that’s why Rudy was hired.

Standard Clintonite disinformation tactics. Do something then make a big stink in the media blaming someone else of doing it.

Sad this is so effective with the gullible America people. You would think they would finally wise up to the gutter scum tactics of Muller and company by now.

Every one of those questions is straight out of the “so, when did you stop beating your wife” category.

You know, if the Examiner, a typically pro-Trump publication, is sort of running with the legal team did the leaking, then it must have come from the Trump camp. You gotta wonder if Trump is trying to play to his base while all the while knowing about where the info came from. I’ve often wondered if much of the fake news wasn’t intentional internal leaks of false info designed to undermine the press.

So disgraceful that the questions concerning the Russian Witch Hunt were “leaked” to the media. No questions on Collusion. Oh, I see...you have a made up, phony crime, Collusion, that never existed, and an investigation begun with illegally leaked classified information. Nice!

The article’s premise is nonsense, if Trump files no complaint against his own lawyers, and if there is no agreement or court order that Trump’s lawyers cannot discuss their meetings with Mueller.
