WASHINGTON — Former special counsel Robert Mueller is likely to face questions about one of the lingering mysteries in his report when he testifies before Congress on Wednesday: Why was Donald Trump Jr. the only American attendee of the infamous Trump Tower meeting in July 2016 not questioned by investigators?
"There’s zero chance you wouldn’t want to talk to him, which means there’s a very good chance he would’ve invoked his Fifth Amendment right,” Rosenberg, an NBC News contributor, said. "You have all of the elements of conspiracy in the Trump Tower meeting,” Schiff told NBC’s Kristen Welker at the Aspen Security Forum. “You have, literally in writing, the Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of what is described as the Russian government's effort to help Donald Trump. And you have the Trump campaign, in writing, accepting the offer."In June 2016, Trump Jr.
The notion that Trump Jr. would choose to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights also is notable given his father’s view of such a move.
It says round page 50 that they couldn't prove that he was aware he was breaking the law. They are saying he is stupid, and they can't prove he isn't stupid in a court of law.
science_biased Better question, why wasn't realDonaldTrump interviewed
morgfair Because he was too stupid
Why waste time interviewing someone who will simply lie? They didn’t interview Trump either—not that it would have done any good—but that’s because Trump obstructed all attempts to question him.
morgfair I thought Mueller concluded Junior was too stupid to be dealt with?

I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE ROBERT MUELLER TESTIMONY TOMORROW! It's time to kick 45's ass and send him back to where he came from: 1933 - 1945 Germany, or hell. MuellerIsComing
FakeNews
Why didn't he interview Obama, Hillary, Brennan, Clapper, Stroczk, Page, Comey, McCabe, etc. You know the ones who planned the Coup?
Really? More like why wasnt assange interviewed?
Because he knew too much? Maybe Just a bit too dangerous to the Old Man?
Why wasn't Glenn Simpson or anyone else from Fusion GPS interviewed? Why wasn't anyone from Hillary's campaign involved in that? Wasn't the investigation supposed to be about Russian interference?
Ummmm, too stupid?
Really why wasn't he questioned? You can just say no, and you do not have to testify? He very much went to his meeting in Russia to get dirt on hillary
Because JR hast done anything wrong like Deep State
He's unable to answer questions. Too stupid.
Why are you allowed to be too stupid to be prosecuted? Why is the President above the law?
they tried to get some question to him but they were running low on crayons at the trump organization.
'Nice boy nice boy, now I know why tigers eat their young!!' Rodney Dangerfield
NBC taking sides already...
Why wasn't Hillary's connections to Russians investigated? Better question.
Let me explain!
DsOchoa Why couldn't junior be compelled to testify?
Hmmmmmm I wonder why
I'm guessing because then Mueller would need to dig into how Obama's AG overrode a VISA denial for the Russian lawyer and how members of the DNC and Fusion GPS met with her before and after the meeting. And Mueller purposefully didn't want to go there.
Like father like son. Very soon, they will all go to jail. They are committing crimes and others are going to ja6on their behalf No this must stop. The finger that commits an offence. Just be cut, not the enoscent ones
I didn't know that investigations into possible crimes of that magnitude was based on the willingness of the suspects to even talk to investigators. He doesn't even have to plead the 5th? Jeeez ...
He was scared to be interviewed by mueller, but he wants to run into the lime light as a candidate for mayor of NYC.
Obviously, your base doesn't watch any REAL news are they would know he TESTIFIED twice! Quit your incessant lies MSDNC..
Oh no the 4 am talking points are out on all the fake news socialist propaganda outlets..Same shit different day.....
Republicans will vote anyone no matter how radical they are, just to have someone in. The moment Trump opened his mouth on his announcement and stated attacking everyone that isn't white or American, he lost my support along with pretty much the rest of the world. DumpTrump
Only people that do something wrong would decline to be interviewed, it's as simple as that.
Well yea DonaldJTrumpJr couldn't even answer a radio host
