It sounds like a movie title: 49 questions.
President Donald Trump in a tweet calls it “disgraceful.”
“So disgraceful that the questions concerning the Russian Witch Hunt were ‘leaked’ to the media. No questions on Collusion. Oh, I see you have a made up, phony crime, Collusion, that never existed, and an investigation begun with illegally leaked classified information. Nice!”
Spoiler alert: There are more than a dozen questions about campaign coordination with Russia, aka collusion and conspiracy – the real crime behind Trump’s fear of the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in our 2016 presidential election.
The questions were obtained and published Monday evening by The New York Times. On Tuesday morning, Trumpers speculated they were leaked by special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, though the Times story quite clearly laid out the way those questions were requested by and given to Trump’s attorneys – most recently headed up by longtime Trump confidant and publicity-loving Rudy Giuliani, who met with Mueller last week to see whether the special counsel and his staff were going to be “truly objective.”
