And I'm sure Trump told nothing but the capital-T Truth in those answers, yes indeed.
---
That, of course, assumes that Trump even saw the questions at all and that the answers weren't simply manufactured whole cloth by his "team." At this point, I would not put anything past Team Trump.
---
And, of course, given that his "team" was involved, I'm sure that any answers given were juuuuuust slimy enough to allow Trump to slip through Mueller's fingers in a way that would not be even remotely possible in a sit-down, on-the-spot interview, given Trump's personality and predilection for lying (even when he doesn't need to do so).
I hope I'm wrong and this ends soon with Trump's perp walk, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one at all. The fucker has somehow evaded everything else, so why not this, too?
---
And yeah, I will freely admit right here and now that my opinion of Trump is so low that even if Mueller himself got up in front of a podium and stated unequivocally that Trump has been fully cleared of any potential wrongdoing and is as pure as the driven snow, I'd be very hard pressed not to simply start questioning Mueller's own integrity, rather than accepting that Trump is innocent. But even if Trump truly is somehow innocent of any conspiracy with Russia (highly unlikely as that is), there are so very many other horrendous things Trump has said and done, which are 100% verifiable as things he's said and done, that those alone still warrant his removal from office (even if said removal only ends up happening by vote, a very long two years from now).
That said, even if (when) Mueller comes out with irrefutable proof that Trump deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars, it's still probably not going to matter much, at least not until shitfuckers like Mitch McConnell are gone from Congress, because I'm sure they'd find a way to spin even that to their own advantage, somehow. (Unless said advantage involved them finally throwing Trump under the bus, which I think I might be able to at least tolerate.)
