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.

“What kind of bullshit is this?”
None dare call it treason. I do.
1. Mueller said POTUS is not under criminal investigation.
TRUE. Mueller cannot charge POTUS with crimes.
2. Mueller said POTUS is a target.
TRUE. Mueller can issue reports to Congress implying he be Impeached.
3. Mueller will issue reports.
TRUE. But beyond his mandate. This is law fare and criminalization of politics. “Reports” will be issued to coincide with elections and events to maximize political damage to the GOP.
Thank you. Bears repeating:
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.
“This is law-fare and criminalization of politics. “Reports” will be issued to coincide with elections and events to maximize political damage to the GOP.”

President Trump: Please fire Rosen-stooge & turn the table on Mueller.....your supporters will love it & your DEEP STATE ENEMIES will become aware of what Presidential authority means....
With this new information about Rosenstein essentially creating a CYA memo after the Manafort raid in order to justify it, he may have just given the president the legal weapon he needed to fire him since Rosenstein is now going to be under investigation himself for corrupt practices.
If Rosenstein goes down or out, or both, this new fellow just brought in might not be a puppet of Mueller.
If Mueller is found to be in cohoots with Rosenstein re the CYA memo, then he can be fired for “cause” and then investigated. In fact, I’m hoping that both are NOW being investigated by the new “special investigator” and it will lead to a “call” for a SECOND Special Prosecutor who will put both their asses in jail, along with Strzok and his slut, the Ohrs, Weissman, McCabe, and Comey.
I hear GITMO is nice this time of year, after year, after year.
We most get this Democrat corrupt cabal out of government, including Hillary and her criminal conspiracy participants.
Manaforts legal team should smoke these morons. We want to depose McCabe, Ohr, Comey, Mueller, Weinstein, Rosenstein, Paige, Strzok...it is an illegal witch hunt now with a cya memo ....what a friggin joke.
Mueller knows that the president can not obstruct justice by firing a federal employee. The president can fire anyone working for the federal government at any time. Ask the air traffic controllers.
How do details of a “private conversation” end up in the Chicago Tribune?
It is time for the President to fire Rosencriminal......clearly he is doing everything within his power to Obstruct Justice and enable his crooked friend, Mueller
So the investigation is now concentrated on whether President Trump did anything to “thwart” the investigation. That is broad; any tiny words could be included. I’d sure try to “thwart” a contrived investigation into myself in some manner or form.
