Maybe. I heard a few other guesses. The one that make the most sense to me is that Trump lawyer leak these to convince Trump that he shouldn't do the interview. They leak the questions to get the reaction, which Trump will definitely hear and react to. The expected reaction was there is no way Trump is capable of answering those questions. Trump think highly of himself and think he can just talk (lie) his way out of things. Doesn't work here but he need some convincing and his lawyers couldn't do it without help. The other one is to blame Mueller for the leak, get an investigation into Mueller team to damage them. If that was the intent, they failed miserably.
Couldn't that motivate Trump to do the interview, to prove the naysayers wrong? Or am I just being overly optimistic?
This. Trump is already saying that the "leaked" questions do not target "collusion". Of course, Trump is not much of a reader. The first question that the MSM should ask Trump is why his team leaked the questions. I predict that the incompetent MSM will not.
Perhaps whoever read the document to him didn't go past the first page. trump is known to not like long briefings. Maybe he was waiting for the "Dummy's Guide to Mueller's Questions" book to come out... I understand Hannity is doing the last of the crayon work for the book. Or perhaps he simply missed the section header in caps and bolded type that said, "Questions about Russian Collusion".
Didn't trump ignore this guy so much that Dowd quit? And I think trump would have a lot more time to focus on important things like NK, China, the Middle East and so much more if he wasn't working four-day work weeks and playing golf so much.
What is even funnier... trump obviously was tweeting what he was instructed to tweet from his lawyers, and when he heard the word "role" he typed it as "roll".
Wow what a dream team of lawyers. I bet Giuliani is working for free too, which is about what he's been worth so far.
trump will lie and claim credit for just about anything. It would have been tough for the previous administration(s) to teleport into the future to free two of the three hostages... https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/north-korea-american-prisoners/
Maybe he is wistfully and wishfully referring to his own administration in the past tense, as wish that is broadly shared.
I think I have figured it out... The dotard-in-chief is setting Mueller up to win bigly on the appeal by claiming he had inadequate representation. Now that is a stable genius.
Dang... even president trump is attacking his own employment numbers: http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-trump-unemployment-rate-phony-20170126-story.html
