Questions We Hope Mueller Will Answer

By Leave a Comment

First Read notes that if the Mueller report is coming out soon, here are the 10 questions we hope the special counsel will answer:

  1. Will anyone else be charged for allegedly not telling the truth to Congress (Donald Trump Jr., Erik Prince)?
  2. Was there kompromat? Was President Trump compromised by his business dealings with Russia (including the Trump Tower Moscow)?
  3. Did Paul Manafort really share 2016 polling data with Konstantin Kilimnik (who has ties to Russian intelligence)? And if so, what did Kilimnik do with it?
  4. Who at the Trump campaign directed Roger Stone to get information about upcoming WikiLeaks disclosures against the Clinton campaign?
  5. Did anyone in Trump’s orbit help WikiLeaks analyze/organize/curate its email dumps?
  6. Did Trump know about the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer? And when did he know it?
  7. Do Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates fit into this investigation?
  8. What about the NRA?
  9. Will the president of the United States be subpoenaed?
  10. Why has the president – throughout it all – obfuscated, attacked and misdirected as much as he has? In other words, why has he acted like somebody who has something to hide?
