Looks like prepping the field.
More FTA: "If Trump made one single gaffe during such interview with Mueller’s ethically-challenged squad, it could have been distorted into violating some federal law, any federal law, one Justice Department said.
The leverage game is a mainstay at the Justice Department when a target of a probe declines to cooperate or thumbs their nose at Justice prosecutors as President Trump did. Mueller and Weissmann, after all, had used the same exact tactic against Gen. Mike Flynn, threatening to indict his so if Flynn did not plead out.
And it worked like a charm.
Flynn pleaded out to a single charge of lying to the FBI. His son was never indicted."
What is “FTA”?
