Could be that Trump knows exactly what the timing will be as to when the 4 page memo will be released. He also knows what he is going to say for the upcoming SOTU speech. And he has a fairly good idea of what the impact will be. When the time comes for him to go to see Mueller, the entire landscape may be changed so quite radically that it doesn’t really matter whether he promised to go to speak with Mueller under oath or not.....

Mr. President, process crimes have absolutely nothing to do with truth.

You’re messing with the viability of your presidency here.

In a word: NO!

I understand what you’re saying.

Smart people can be trapped. Overconfidence can be very dangerous. The bastards are out to get him and will do anything they can to accomplish that.

He would really be stupid if he followed your advice.

I think this is how he negotiates. He asks for a lot and gives a lot. That’s just the starting point.

Dumb move, Mr. President. You’re not required to talk to Mueller.

Trump and his legal team are at least as smart as we are. We are all screaming it’s a trap. Now unless Trump’s ego is completely out of control he must see it too. Some here are saying the memo is going to stop this. From I’ve read it’s going to be 2 weeks at least before we see it. By that time the Rats and MSM will have shredded its credibility. The way Sarah was talking it certainly didn’t sound like it’s going to be part of the SOTU.
If we’re right and Trump doesn’t have a trick up his sleeve testifying will probably end up killing his presidency.

Trump is many things, but stupid is not one of them. I am not sure what his game here is, but I know he has something up his sleeve.

Mueller needs to be put under oath and made to explain why he is/was a total failure at whaat he promised ~17 years ago:

"Weasel Mueller promised to "fix" the FBI and was Weasel Comey's mentor:

“If I have the honor of being confirmed by the Senate,’’ Mueller told the panel, “I will make it my highest priority to restore the public’s confidence in the FBI and to re-earn the faith and trust of the American people.’’ "

Both Weasels Mueller and Comney seem to have come up way short of the mark.

if DJT does this, he is insane

and I say this as an admirer

he needs to put an end to Mueller;s circus NOW!

this has gotten far beyond ridiculous, imho

and it does NOT require a guilty man to be tripped up politically and especially not so when facing a trained prosecutor and under oath

Trump is letting his ego get the best of him when it comes to talking to Mueller Talking about business trump maybe smarter. Talking about legal things and possible perjury entrapment the Mueller team will eat his lunch and get him indicted DUMB

Or a trap, knowing Trump. I think he's baiting Mueller somehow.

Trump never does anything happenstance or without a purpose.

As president, he may be aware of information or intelligence on Mueller than he can use as leverage to get Mueller to back off.

He shouldn't and won't be interviewed unless, it is off the record and not recorded, just like Hillary's interrogation went.

What's good for the goose....

Trump will even want the interview video recorded. Once the cameras are turned on Trump takes out a stack of papers with of the lost text messages and asks Mueller if he would mind if he read a few for the record.

It has been very clear for a time now that the purpose of the Mueller investigation is not Russian counter intelligence or even to get at the truth, but to bring down this administration one body at a time. The purpose of Mueller speaking to Trump is nothing other than to catch him "lying" ( note the quotes ) so that it can be used as an excuse to indict him.
