Questions for Mueller

Vincent J. Curtis

7 May 2019

1.      When did you conclude that Donald Trump did not “collude” with the Russians?  September or Dec 2017?

2.      Given that Rod Rosenstein announced that no Americans had knowingly colluded with Russians in February, 2018, why did you wait until March, 2019, more than a year later, to render your report?

3.      Why did you prosecute Paul Manafort, and not main Justice, since his crimes had nothing to do with Russian collusion during the Trump campaign?

4.      Who ordered the pre-dawn guns-drawn raid on Manafort’s house?  Why? What would have happened had the agents met a man on the other side of the door ready to defend his hearth and home against home invaders with a shotgun?

5.      Who ordered the 29 man raid on Roger Stone’s house?  Why was that done?

6.      If Trump had pardoned Manafort, would that have constituted obstruction of justice?

7.      Your investigation was predicated as a counterintelligence investigation, was it not?

8.      For whose benefit is a counter-intelligence investigation conducted?  The president?  If justice isn’t being vindicated by your investigation, how can the president obstruct justice when your investigation is being done for his benefit and you aren’t out particularly to vindicate justice?

9.      Why did you need to interview President Trump when you already had all the information he could give you on collusion?  Were you trying to catch the president in a perjury trap by asking to interview him personally?

10.  Why did your team try to coerce Jerome Corsi to plead guilty to a crime he didn’t commit, and then not prosecute him when he refused you?

11.  Did you investigate the origins of the Steele dossier?  Wasn’t there Russian collusion on the part of the Hillary campaign, given that the Steele dossier contains nothing but Russian disinformation?

12.  Without the Steele dossier, what evidence at all did you have of Russian collusion on the part of the Trump campaign?

13.  Why did you prosecute Michael Flynn for lying to FBI agents when the agents concerned didn’t think he lied?  Was their testimony admissible in court, given the deceitful way it was obtained, i.e. without informing the White House Counsel what Comey was doing?

14.  The day before Trump fired Jim Comey, Rod Rosenstein gave the president a paper arguing for his dismissal.  Would Rod Rosenstein recommendation constitute reasonable doubt for corrupt intent, which is necessary for an obstruction charge to stick?

15.  Did you review the FISA warrant against Carter Page?  Were you aware of the surveillance of Carter Page?  When did you conclude that Page was not a Russian agent?  Were you aware that Page had committed no felony that justified a FISA warrant?  Why didn’t you prosecute those who obtained the FISA warrants by a fraud upon the FISC?

16.  Why didn’t you interview Christopher Steele?  The Russian woman who worked for Glenn Simpson at Fusion GPS and who met with Don Jr. at the Trump tower, Natalia Veselnitskaya?

17.  Why didn’t you interview Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, as the guy who contracted Christopher Steele?

18.  Why didn’t you interview Bruce Ohr of the DoJ, being the go-between between Steele, Fusion GPS, and the FBI?

19.  Why didn’t you question Hillary Clinton as the one who ordered Perkins Coie to commission and finance the Steele Dossier?

20.  Why didn’t you question Perkins Coie and Marc Elias about their involvement in evading reporting requirements of the Hillary campaign?

21.  Did you send A-G Barr the letter of March 27, 2019, for the purpose of leaking it to the press and an opportune moment?  Why didn’t you just call him with your concerns?
