Mueller told Trump’s attorneys the president remains under investigation [blah, blah]
Chicago Tribune ^ | 4-3-2018 | Carol D. Leonnig, Robert Costa

In private negotiations in early March about a possible presidential interview, Mueller described Trump as a subject of his investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Prosecutors view someone as a subject when that person has engaged in conduct that is under investigation but there is not sufficient evidence to bring charges.

The special counsel also told Trump's lawyers that he is preparing a report about the president's actions while in office and potential obstruction of justice, according to two people with knowledge of the conversations.

Mueller reiterated the need to interview Trump - both to understand whether he had any corrupt intent to thwart the Russia investigation and to complete this portion of his probe, the people said.

Hey, are you threatening the President, punk?

Proverbs 26:27 “Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.” ......It isn’t too smart to be playing chicken with the Lord’s anointed....

Mueller was deeply involved in the Uranium One bribery & national security sellout scheme...

It would be absolutely stupid for Trump to talk to Mueller.

“It would be absolutely stupid for Trump to talk to Mueller.”

It would be a LOT stupider than that.

Mueller has noting but a bruhaha over his firing, or a process/perjury trap.

If Trump doesn’t fire him, and doesn’t talk to him, he’s got nothing.

Zip.

Nada.

A report—the proverbial impeachment fig leaf for congress.

Way to go Sekulow-Cobb. You guys did a bang up job. /s

"... to complete this portion of the probe"

How many portions are there?

Mueller is lying; he doesn’t care what the President knows. He only wants to set a perjury trap. Don’t do it DJT.

There will be Mueller’s probes until a serious indictment before a federal grand jury of Mueler & Rosencriminal’s treasonous involvement with the Uranium One scandal.....

DJT, time to put the hurt on them.....

We all know he is preparing a report on obstruction. The question is what the report contains.

There’s no reason for the President to be interviewed.

If Mueller has evidence of a crime, he can recommend impeachment.

Absent that he should STFU and wrap up this pointless partisan witch hunt.

How about investigating Obama for not doing anything about the Russia influence on our Election?

“Trump should be firing Mueller and Rosenstein and having them arrested for corruption”

Throw in that rat bastard, goober magoo, too.

They all should have been fired right after the appoint of mueller’s special counsel but Trump’s idiot lawyers decided to walk him down this primrose path—right to the gallows.

I’d throw them in a burlap sack in a river.

If they drown, they’re innocent. If they float, they’re guilty.

Which is the same as their Star Chamber investigation.

The impeachment docs are all ready to go. They have been one second into the President Trump term. I do have to add that much of this could have been prevented by actually draining the Swamp and Obama turd floaters second one.

I would like for the President to give Mueller 60 days to complete and report on his investigation. After 60 days the US government will cease funding the Special Counsel and any expenses thereafter will not be paid. In this manner the President should not receive the bad press he would if Mueller is outright fired.

So true. FTA:

The president and some of his allies seized on the special counsel's words as an assurance that Trump's risk of criminal jeopardy is low. Other advisers, however, noted that subjects of investigations can easily become indicted targets - and expressed concern that the special prosecutor was baiting Trump into an interview that could put the president in greater legal peril.

The layman's translation of all of this is they haven't found a damn thing they can criminally charge our PRESIDENT Trump with, but they want to interview him to try to manufacture a process crime under the False Statements Act. He should to tell them to perform a physiological impossibility on themselves. The Constitution requires a "high crime or misdemeanor" for impeachment and they've just admitted they don't have the evidence to even hope to prove it.

>> Mueller was deeply involved in the Uranium One

Mueller’s current overreach is the temporary firewall.
