"What did you think"...? Has someone finally called the 'thought police."
Many are the questions that begin "What was the purpose..." and "What was your reaction..." Most of all, the special counsel is interested in the thinking that went into giving FBI director James Comey his walking papers. He hopes to use any interview with Trump to divine whether the Comey firing was a crime.
Mueller is a bit confused. Not firing the crooked SOB would have been the crime.
If Mueller is interested in how and why Trump made the decision to fire Comey, it would clearly be relevant what sort of legal advice the president was given about his power over the FBI director’s employment. It would indeed look bad for Trump if, in the days before he fired Comey, he had been told by some senior legal official that letting the FBI director go for the wrong reason amounted to obstruction of justice.
Forget the Russians! It's all about my pal Jim Comey.
