Some On Trump’s Legal Team Want Him To Refuse An Interview With Mueller: Report Some of the president’s attorneys are afraid he’d make a misstep. Several of President Donald Trump’s lawyers have advised him to refuse an interview request with special counsel Robert Mueller as part of the ongoing inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, The New York Times reported on Monday. At least two members of Trump’s legal team, John Dowd and Jay Sekulow, have reportedly expressed concerns over an investigators’ interview of the president. The lawyers, as well as several White House aides, fear that the president might contradict himself or make a false statement to investigators, which is a federal crime, the Times writes, citing four people familiar with the White House’s thinking. Earlier this year, several news outlets reported that Mueller had told Trump’s lawyers he would move to interview the president, although no formal request had been submitted. His legal team was considering how such an encounter would take place, according to NBC News, including the format, the topics of the interview and who would conduct it. Were Trump to refuse the request, Mueller has the power to issue a subpoena to compel him to testify before a grand jury, although such a move would likely set off an intense legal battle.
"Might?" It is a virtual certainty. The man is a pathological liar. It is his stock-in-trade. It's who he is; it's what he does.
As he said the words he would like to testify under oath we all knew a but my lawyers.. would follow.
Just like his tax returns and his audit and the "advice of his accountants." He'd "love to" release them but... On the plus side, Mueller can subpoena Trump.
And his 'tapes' of Comey.. and .. Endless with this scammer. I feel ill many days from it. I have extensive US family, it has always held a place in my heart and it is such a shame what has happened. If ordinary people understood the difference between how real billionaires and how this goon thinks.. I have worked for three deca-billionares, met them in person many times. I have an understanding of that ultra-rich world and The Donald is a total freakshow.
Speaking of tapes, I understand that if Mueller does indeed interview Trump, his lawyers will be taping him:
Why should Trump sit for an interview with a man conducting a witch hunt? Has he been accused of any crime? Is there any probably cause? He has the same right every American has not to talk to law enforcement. Considering the breathtaking plot carried out by the DOJ and FBI against him and his campaign and their efforts to invalidate his election, no reasonable person would expect him to cooperate. Rather than get bogged down in even more legal gymnastics over grand juries, etc, he should send someone over to Jeff Sessions' house to see if they can rouse him from his coma. If not, put him out to pasture and appoint a real AG, who would then terminate this ridiculous spectacle.
It would solve a lot of problems, and it's not as though his brain would be getting any less oxygen than it does now.
There is no plot. He is just a fuckup. edit: why did I even reply to infowars boy.. I'm too tired today.
