Solomon Wisenberg: Mueller should be asked these 25 questions when he testifies

“Democratic politicians obviously believe that if the people can only be made privy to the allegedly awful obstructive acts engaged in by President Trump, they will rise up in anger and demand his ouster through impeachment and removal. I do not believe this is going to happen and I believe most Americans have a fair sense of what the Mueller report found: First, Trump and his campaign did not criminally conspire or coordinate with Russia or Russians to win the presidential election by hacking computers, running phony Facebook ads, or otherwise interfering with the electoral process.

Mizzou would be required to certify every four years to the satisfaction of Hillsdale College that each professorship had been filled by ‘a dedicated and articulate disciple of the Ludwig von Mises (Austrian) School of Economics.’ The remaining funds would revert to Hillsdale in the event that this requirement was not met. […]  Hillsdale’s suit is helmed by Jay Nixon, former Democratic governor of Missouri and a Mizzou grad himself. ‘I believe both from my time as governor and my time as [Missouri] attorney general that donor intent is important. It’s especially important when folks are as specific as Mr. Hibbs was,’ Nixon told me. ‘Missouri University never embraced Mr. Hibbs’ intent, and consequently students aren’t getting the exposure to intellectual philosophies necessary for broad-based education.’ The smoking gun for Nixon’s claim comes in the form of internal Mizzou documents obtained during the discovery process.
