Apparently Robert Mueller has also already questioned former FBI director James Comey.

Courtesy of CNBC:

James Comey, the former F.B.I. director fired by President Donald Trump last year, has been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election. 

The New York Times first reported the interview on Tuesday. 

The interview, which lasted for several hours, focused heavily on a series of memos Comey wrote after each interaction with Trump. NBC News reported that the interview occurred in late 2017. 

In his testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee in June 2017, Comey said he had turned all his memos over to the special counsel. In the hearing, he also acknowledged leaking one of the memos to the press — in the explicit hope of sparking a special counsel investigation.

For which this country should be eternally grateful to James Comey.

However I would be remiss if I did not point out that we may not have ever found ourselves in this mess if Comey had not blundered so badly concerning the Clinton e-mail investigation.

Still, I bet he had a LOT to share with Mueller's investigators. 

By the way apparently Donald Trump also did a little questioning of FBI agents himself.

Courtesy of WaPo: 

Shortly after President Trump fired his FBI director in May, he summoned to the Oval Office the bureau’s acting director for a get-to-know-you meeting. 

The two men exchanged pleasantries, but before long, Trump, according to several current and former U.S. officials, asked Andrew McCabe a pointed question: Whom did he vote for in the 2016 election? 

McCabe said he didn’t vote, according to the officials, who, like others interviewed for this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly about a sensitive matter. 

Trump, the officials said, also vented his anger at McCabe over the several hundred thousand dollars in donations that his wife, a Democrat, received for her failed 2015 Virginia state Senate bid from a political action committee controlled by a close friend of Hillary Clinton.

McCabe you may remember is the FBI agent that Trump has been attacking on Twitter, and trying to get Jeff Sessions to fire.

Anybody else noticing a pattern here?

Speaking of patterns, Sarah Huckabee Sanders essentially stated that the reason Trump has not had Mueller fired yet is because of the potential backlash from the press.

Courtesy of CNN:

President Donald Trump hasn't fired special counsel Robert Mueller partly because of how the press would react to the dismissal, the White House said Tuesday. 

Trump and his top aides have routinely slammed the probe as nothing more than a witch hunt or a hoax, leading some to question why he hasn't fired Mueller in the first place. But the White House appears keenly aware that any attempt to get rid of Mueller could create a massive public relations headache that could envelop the administration. 

"Look, we want to see this come to a complete and full conclusion," said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. "I think we all know what everybody in this room would do if the President did that, and I don't think that is helpful to the process."

She added that Trump "wants to see this end and he wants to see them finally come to the same conclusion that I think most everyone in America has that there is nothing to this."

That last statement makes it pretty clear that the White House is still in complete denial over this investigation.

Somehow I think those rose colored glasses are going to fall right off once Robert Mueller has the opportunity to question Trump.

What is it that Bette Davis said in the movie "All About Eve?"

Oh yeah:

“Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.”

Oh boy is it.

    Yeah. It looked like to me that Comey being one of the anti Hillary people got a true taste of what it would be like on team Trump/Putin. Or Putin/Trump more like.

    Huckabee is as unattractive a human being as Trump. Lying is second nature to her.

      Both are as far away from being the Christians they profess to be!

      They are pure evil walking in those white obese bodies!

      I stopped watching the media coverage of either! Everyone should do it! Bring the media ratings down when they are covered and eventually the journalist will stop using them for their shows.

      Doing this will bring peace, harmony and joy to the population of our country! It can't happen soon enough.

    'Feminists Need Rape': DC Charter School Board Official Exposed As White Supremacist, Rape Advocate

    ..."Men have a natural tendency towards dominance and women to passivity and submission," Murphy wrote in 2015. "For a feminist who has rejected polarity and embraced sameness, this presents a paradox. The cognitive dissonance between her chosen dogma and the urge to get choked during sex is painful."

    This guy is around kids, mind you.

    He added, "I assure you, behind even the most ardent feminist facade is a deep desire to be dominated and even degraded."

    This is the argument for his central premise, which is simple: "Rape is the best therapy for the problem. Feminists need rape."

    But he is quick to qualify this by claiming that all feminists need is a man who loves her to rape her but not in a totally evil "illegal alien" rapey way, but a loving rape. Consensual, even.

    ...As we saw with Sarah Palin, once the Republicans lower their standards to defend the indefensible, the standards never get reapplied except selectively and disingenuously for naked political gain. Actual, genuine standards are not just eroded in this way but actually destroyed. And this is why there has been a breakdown in norms that prevents the two parties from working in any kind of collaborative fashion.

    The group that includes Miller, Kelly, Sessions, and Cotton is managing Trump in order to use Dreamers to force xenophobic changes to our current legal immigration system, and that has been the heart of the impasse for a while.
