Special Counsel Robert Mueller is not satisfied with President Donald Trump’s submission of written answers for the investigation and still wants an in-person interview for follow-up questions, according to a Monday CNN report.

Trump’s lawyers shot down the special counsel’s most recent request. But, as a source told CNN, “Mueller is not satisfied.”

Recent developments, such as Michael Cohen’s agreement to testify before Congress, have reportedly lessened Trump’s appetite for a one-on-one meeting.

    ETA. Let’s find out if a president is above the law.

    IANAL but this seems like something where Trump’s legal team should go down in flames making every possible argument and pulling out every possible stop. Answering questions on the fly is just game over for the dotard. It’s asking the man to walk into a jail cell willingly.

    I’m not saying this is what I want to happen, by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it’s the only sensible move available to Trump’s team.

  3. Keep pushing Mueller. This guy needs to be taken down.

  4. Mueller just slowly grinds away.

  5. Slowly being the key part there.
