| What do they want to talk to me for? I don't know nothing. |
In a sign that the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election will remain a continuing distraction for the White House, the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, is in talks with the West Wing about interviewing current and former senior administration officials, including the recently ousted White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, according to three people briefed on the discussions.
Mr. Mueller has asked the White House about specific meetings, who attended them and whether there are any notes, transcripts or documents about them, two of the people said. Among the matters Mr. Mueller wants to ask the officials about is President Trump’s decision in May to fire the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, the two people said.
That line of questioning will be important as Mr. Mueller continues to investigate whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice in the dismissal of Mr. Comey.
No interviews have been scheduled, but in recent weeks Mr. Mueller’s investigation has appeared to intensify. Late last month, he took the aggressive step of executing a search warrant at the Alexandria, Va., home of Paul J. Manafort, Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman. Legal experts say Mr. Mueller may be trying to put pressure on Mr. Manafort to cooperate with the investigation.
Oh yeah, this whole thing is heating up big time.
And of course this is not the only investigation that seems to be narrowing in on certain targets.
As I posted earlier the congressional investigators are now looking to question Trump's personal secretary, and I have to imagine that Mueller would like to have a talk with her as well.
However I think we all know that Reince is the weak link in this chain.
That guy looks ready to crack just during interviews with Chuck Todd.
I bet after five minutes with Mueller's investigators that Priebus will be sobbing uncontrollably and giving up secrets about every person he has ever met.
P.S. Boy Sarah Palin better hurry up and take down the New York Times quickly because they are really ramping up their reporting on this so-called "witch hunt" directed at her boyfriend.
