Special Counsel Robert Mueller might testify before a friendly House Judiciary Committee, although the exact date is uncertain. President Trump has signaled he’ll block this under executive privilege principles. But Mueller is a loose cannon who coordinates with the media and Congress and may just blow through any presidential objection, as he has already shown a willingness to defy his boss. That’s great news. Here’s why. If that happens, Republicans will have the opportunity to ask questions. Traditionally, these tiny slices of time are used to make speeches in the form of a question. This would be a huge waste...

stionnaire. Multiple administration insiders say that Dhillon could be investigated internally for his role in leaking the Mueller questions. The so-called Mueller questions are: the questions Mueller wants to know about from Trump. Those questions leaked, and CNN’s Ana Navarro and others are trying to claim that Trump leaked them. The media has been going into overdrive to accuse a Trump lawyer of leaking the questions, because they make Trump look good. Mueller’s questions focus on the tone and substance of President Trump’s tweets, as Jack Posobiec points out. (Has he solved the mystery of Covfefe?) So the media wants...

I am assuming the authenticity of the questions that Special Counsel Robert Mueller reportedly wants to ask President Trump. The questions indicate that, after a year of his own investigation and two years of FBI investigation, the prosecutor lacks evidence of a crime. Yet he seeks to probe the chief executive’s motives and thought processes regarding exercises of presidential power that were lawful, regardless of one’s view of their wisdom. If Bob Mueller wants that kind of control over the executive branch, he should run for president. Otherwise, he is an inferior executive official who has been given a limited...

Michael Zeldin, a CNN legal analyst and former assistant to Robert Mueller, said Tuesday he believes President Trump leaked the list of nearly 50 questions the special counsel allegedly wants to ask Trump. “I think these are notes taken by the recipients of a conversation with Mueller’s office where he outlined broad topics and these guys wrote down questions that they thought these topics may raise,” Zeldin said on CNN's "New Day." “Because of the way these questions are written ... lawyers wouldn’t write questions this way, in my estimation. Some of the grammar is not even proper," he continued....

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.
