So, Trump says he easily answered the written questions submitted to him by Mueller's team. But wait, Trump has hung on to his completed questionnaire for nine months. What the hell is the holdup?
Trump says he answered the questions and Trump doesn't lie. Okay, let's make a correction, Trump doesn't lie more than an average of ten times a day.
Question? Two of them to be exact. What is the source of Trumps Authority? What is the source of Mueller's Authority? I will answer the second question, The assistant AG. Note his position as it is stapled to the board of the hierarchy of the justice department of the Executive branch reporting to the duly elected President of the United States. The only holder of Executive power as granted by the Constitution of the United States. I know you know the answer to the first question As to the second, Mueller has brought you nothing, more than a year, and nothing. What is your next play? Oh God! Don't tell me, Maxine!!! You have been waiting and hoping and now it is Maxine????
It's no perjury trap if you just tell the truth but Trump's lawyers know full well that he is totally incapable of telling the truth. Yes, he could refuse to answer but then he'd fall into the trap of being equated with the guilt that he has equated with pleading the Fifth. Either way, he's fucked.
He's old. He might not know what it meant and then he'd say no and we'd know he gave the wrong answer.
There's always that argument but I think even Trump would object to such an argument. He'd have to be declared legally incompetent so someone else could make that decision on his behalf.
