Trump slams Ukraine whistleblower's submitting written answers as 'unacceptable' despite doing so himself during Mueller probe

Trump Slams Ukraine Whistleblower Submitting Written Answers as 'Unacceptable' Despite Doing So Himself During Mueller ProbePresident Donald Trump demanded on Monday that the Ukraine whistleblower provide public testimony to Congress, something he declined to do himself during former special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian election interference.

Trump was responding to the news that the first whistleblower, who sounded the alarm about the president's controversial communications with Ukraine, offered to provide House investigators with written answers in order to protect his or her identity. All of the whistleblower's answers would be made under the penalty of perjury.

Mueller asked for Trump to be interviewed several times throughout the two-year investigation. But the president refused to provide Mueller's team with anything other than written responses. Trump's legal team argued that doing a live interview could set up a"perjury trap" for the president.

But we know who the President is. We have no idea who this “whistle blower” is or if this a fabrication.

And he’s the one that’s guilty is sin....

How can Trump admin go down so low as to ask other countries to be involved in questionable activities ?

realDonaldTrump afraid of a little truth?! ImpeachAndRemove TraitorTrump QuidProQuo

lmao....a whistleblower, if truly a whistleblower ARE NOT the same as POTUS.

Of course Newsweek doesn't mention it's apples and oranges. The Ukraine 'leakerblower' accused Trump of a something the democrats think impeachable. Mueller didn't accuse Trump of anything, he was fishing!

Of course trump himself is the 'exception ' to every rule and every lae.

Congradulations Whistle Blower you are a Hero like Paul Revere.

Double standards!

Trump Advisers Pushed Unproven Theory on Ukraine, Mueller Documents ShowPresident Trump’s skepticism of Russian involvement in the 2016 election, and a belief that Ukrainian officials were working to support his opponent, appear to have been fueled in part by senior advisers dating back to that year’s campaign, according to newly released documents. Oh come on! Trump sucks. He is a stooge of the Russian government and you know it. His 'senior advisors' were his buddies. Nothing more. Nothing less. Americans deserve so much more than this.

Trump focuses on 'perfect' Ukraine call despite allegations of broader pressure campaignAmid mounting evidence that the scandal threatening Trump's presidency goes far beyond a single call to Ukraine's President, Trump is focusing in on a narrow set of issues as he builds his defense Let us guess. This could be the beginning of the end. The walls are coming in on him. Oh wait, that was 2018. Thanks though, had us worried for a minute. He could give Ukraine 6 hrs to comply or else..like Biden did.
