The Memo: Will Mueller play hardball with Trump?
The Hill ^ | 05/20/18 | Niall Stanage

Special counsel Robert Mueller wants to interview President Trump — but how far is he willing to go to get the president's testimony?

Some legal experts believe Mueller might have gathered sufficient evidence for indictments even without a Trump interview. They say Mueller could be reluctant to get bogged down in the months-long legal battle that would ensue were the president to resist a subpoena.

“Originally my thought was, ‘Without question, Mueller will subpoena him given how he has handled this case.’ I’m not so completely sure of that anymore. I think Mueller could say, ‘We’ve tried to accommodate them, we’re moving ahead,’” said Solomon Wisenberg, a Washington attorney who served as independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s deputy during investigations into President Clinton.

How will Mueller justify the fallacious legal basis for his seditious efforts?

Since he’s already at the proverbial shouting phase (accusing people at random whom he thought would never show up in court) in his fishing trip I’m guessing he’s wanting Trump to voluntarily commit legal suicide.

Trump shouldn’t play along and tell him to get stuffed.

And then fire him before having disbarment proceedings against him started.

No.

Otherwise you’d be hearing about it 24-7 on CNN right now.

If the events that have unfolded in the courtroom in Mueller’s prosecution of Concord Management are any indication, I’d say any analysis of this subject should be predicated on the assumption that Mueller’s team is comprised of morons who never should have even graduated from the 8th grade, let alone law school.

If Mueller had real crimes you would have seen it.

He made have a dumpster full of crap, like permit expirations at a Trump property or late library books.

“The law” has but a tangential bearing on this charade. It is as fake as every other thing liberals shred with glee, including the Constitution, due process, and you name it.

Are you saying "balls" instead of strikes?

Or that Mueller likes guys?

It's not clear.

The article, typical of disinformation, tries to float the lie that ‘Mueller may have collected enough evidence’ ... it is time for guillotines from orbit. This infestation in the enemy media and the weaponized DOJ/FBI is either excised or it will metastasize and murder the Republic.

Let’s see what happens in Virginia in the Manafort case plus what happens in the first Russia indictment. Muellers team has looked really incompetent so far in that one

President Trump is now playing Mueller like a Strad and is about to play the Cadence! If he lasts the week I will be surprised. It’s time, way past time.

Why do you think Flynn’s sentencing has been delayed
