A THREAD: @jackshafer asks some of the many questions the Mueller Report leaves unanswered: politico.com/magazine/story…
1/ Why did Donald Trump lie so tirelessly about the status of the Trump Tower Moscow project? Why did he attempt to conceal the true purpose of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a gaggle of Russians?
2/ Why did he suggest the hackers behind the stolen Democrats emails could have been China or a “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds” when it was so obviously Russia?
3/ Why did he lie about his request to get White House counsel Don McGahn to fire Mueller in June 2017 and then demand that McGahn lie about issuing the directive?
4/ Why did he ask FBI Director James Comey to abort the bureau’s investigation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who had lied to investigators about his talks about sanctions with the Russian ambassador?
5/ Why did he switch stories on why he fired Comey?
6/ Why did Trump ask Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to hold a presser about the firing and tell the lie that the sacking was Rosenstein’s idea?
7/ Why did he try to throttle the special counsel’s investigation?
8/ Why did he tease Paul Manafort with the promise of a pardon?
9/ Why did he shout “fake news“ so many times when he was the faker?
10/ Why did so many of the players in the Trump orbit — Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Erik Prince, Sarah Sanders, Donald Trump Jr., Michael Cohen and Roger Stone — appear to have told lies in the president’s service?
11/ Why did Trump, whose sense of loyalty usually runs one way, put his neck out so far for Flynn by instructing Comey to lay off?
