Mueller: Yes. Youre in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look. . .
Donald: What one?

Donald: Oligarch, whats that?
Mueller: Know what a Russian billionaire is?
Donald: Of course.
Mueller: Same thing.
Donald: Ive never seen an oligarch But I understand what you mean.
Mueller: You reach out, and you take a bundle of cash, Donald
Donald: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Mueller, or do they write them down for you?
Mueller: The oligarch hands you a bundle of cash to launder, Donald, and asks you to change the GOP platform to favor Russia. Your country needs your help, Donald, but youre not helping.
Donald: What do you mean Im not helping?
Mueller: I mean, youre not helping. Why is that Donald?
(Donald twitches and looks nervous)
Mueller: Theyre just questions, Donald. In answer to your query, theyre written down for me. Its a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. Shall we continue? Describe in single words, only the good things that come in to your mind about
your daughter
