Mueller gives Trump's attorneys possible topics for interview
CNN ^ | 1-24-2018 | Pamela Brown and Gloria Borger

Special counsel Robert Mueller has provided lawyers for President Donald Trump with a range of topics he wants to ask about as part of ongoing negotiations regarding an interview with the President, ....

Mueller's team has also made clear it is seeking a sit-down interview with Trump, according to these sources. The President said Wednesday he is "looking forward" to that interview, subject to the advice of his lawyers.

As the President's attorneys try to whittle down Mueller's areas of interest, a source familiar with the matter says the special counsel has obliged by offering a list of topics, including learning more about the President allegedly asking former FBI Director James Comey to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

If President Trump does not require all questions be submitted in writing he has fools for attorneys.

The President has made a serious mistake agreeing to a face to face interview.............clearly, Mueller is an expert in setting up a perjury trap.

HEY, how do you think they took General Flynn out!

EXTREME STUPIDITY.....................

Any slight statement by President Trump would be twisted, very naive advise....

The President has at least one NAIVE & STUPID attorney on his staff.

Let Mueller submit written questions & after wide-based legal review, reply in writing (with the public recieving copies of everything)

Trump banks on political support and when one does, all the rules go out the window.

He might offer them blood dripping red meat, point to a GOP House, and just dare them.

They are not your friends, Mr. Trump.

They are not interested in anything other than wearing your magnificent comb over on their belt.

Metaphorically speaking of course, because it would be insane for me to suggest that they would literally actually do that, right?

Right?

Donald doesn’t care and likely has some counter traps. He’d love to turn an impeachment movement on its ear politically. Remember Donald is WWE material.

Trump did not get where he is by acting like a fool. Thus I suspect he knows the downsides to such an interview and hope he takes advice from his attorneys.

Donald is inviting them to politically overplay their hand. He’ll purposely give them a load of ambiguity.

Yes, I agree, he is.

It’s kind of the same thing he is doing by saying he supports amnesty for Daca.

It’s a bluff

There is literally nothing to be gained by meeting with Meuller, only pitfalls, and literally nothing to be gained by giving amnesty to illegal aliens.

He’s saying what he knows is not going to happen.

`They are no longer looking at collusion. Everything is now geared toward obstruction. Trump needs to have a very good lawyer to determine any answers he gives.

It is not particularly wise to ‘play chicken’ with a crooked ex-FBI Director whose ability to set up a perjury trap is like a loaded shotgun aimed at the President’s head.....

Mueller knows that another special prosecutor assigned to investigate Uranium One would be investigating him for collusion with the Russians & possibly TREASON

Mueller is forcing Trump to defend himself to divert his own personal criminality.

Yes and no.

What is the sole card that can be played? Impeachment? If that’s a paper tiger then why not twist its tail publicly?

“Remember Donald is WWE material.”

....Maybe so, but his legal staff certainly isn’t....

Oh, come on. PDTJ is 3-4 moves AHEAD of these morons.

Get on the Trump Train or get off the tracks! MAGA!

Trump needs to make Mueller aware that the he will be bringing his investigators there and that Mueller will be disposed.

I hope President Trump, for the sake of his many supporters, will not go ahead with this interview with Mueller.

For all the many, many prayers, blood, sweat, and tears of his supporters who got him elected, he owes this to his people— to not give Mueller an interview.
