President Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told Fox News Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller has told the president's legal team he will follow Justice Department guidance and not seek an indictment against Trump. Giuliani, himself a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, also told Fox that Mueller's investigators have not responded to five information requests from the president's team. That has forced Trump's legal team to push off making a decision about whether the president will sit for an interview with the special counsel -- a decision they had hoped to reach by Thursday. The precedent that federal prosecutors cannot indict a sitting president is laid out in a 1999 Justice Department memo. Giuliani told Fox News that Mueller has no choice but to follow its guidance. "This case is essentially over," Giuliani said. "They're just in denial."

Oh how noble of him? And for what malfeasance is he being nodded off?
Thanks to the Mainstream press most of the boobs on the left are just finding out the president can’t be indicted. Something most of us knew last year when this farce started.
This was never about an indictment..this is all about impeaching President Trump..Mueller knows he can’t indict a sitting President, but he knows if the Dems take the house they can certainly impeach him
“I realize that that is Mueller’s motivation for a sit-down, but my question was why would Trump even contemplate doing so...”
Just because they haven’t announced their decision doesn’t mean Trump is considering it. There are many reasons why they may want to dangle the possibility of a meeting in front of Mueller, even though it was never considered for a moment.
Just like when parents say “We’ll think about it” - that doesn’t mean they actually will.
.
No cause has been shown to indict anybody.
This is a fake “investigation” done for media coverage, from start to finish.
.
They knew from the beginning that he couldn’t be indicted but he should could be impeached. They wanted to get enough on him to let an impeachment go forward. Doesn’t look like they succeeded. No matter how much Maxine Waters or Al Green may long for an impeachment, it goes nowhere without public support. At this point, they’re stuck with the CBC and a few more lefty Dems in support of impeachment, nowhere near what they need.
. . . and result in a coup-through-impeachment.

It might result in an attempt at coup-through-impeachment, but it’s more likely to result in Civil War II. People are NOT going to sit around and say: “Oh, okay. Remove the best President we’ve ever had for no reason except you don’t like him.”
.
>> “How many millions did Mueller spend to figure that out?” <<
Roughly 20 Million.
Yesterday they were saying he’s a buffoon. Now he’s a mastermind!
These people are nuts
Much like Patrick Fitzgerald knew from day one that Valerie Plame was not covered by the Intelligence Identities Protection Act and that Richard Armitage was the one who, entirely legally, revealed her name.
Question: How effective would Trump be if the process was cast as political persecution? How much support would Trump have among those of us who have concluded that a military intervention is necessary to restore the rule of law?
In some ways, it's actually better for prior events to have turned out the way they have. Like allowing a fever to break before healing can begin, Trump needs a casus belli to begin initiating what really needs to be done. Lincoln stated "combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings".
Trump can not only de-classify and order a complete publishing of all known records, but he also has the legal precedent to defend the constitution against forces opposed to lawful order.
It really is becoming time to bring in the military to conduct judicial tribunals to try, convict and punish the 100s (1000s?) of conspirators that attempted to illegally overthrow the lawfully constructed government elected by the people.
The rats have never had the tide of public opinion turned against them like this.
He can not arrest a president—He’s collecting stuff for the impeachment promised when the Democrats take over the house and senate. Impeach 45 is the call. This will happen if the “Blue Wave” sweeps the Donkeys into power. VOTE GOP!
Indictment for WHAT though?? For WHAT crime?? This whole thing has been an utter joke from day one.
And Sessions. Most especially Sessions.
Not over. This is not about indictment. It’s about laying a trap for impeachment.
It does beg the question—what was the effin crime?
Even the biggest Blue Wave possible is probably not enough to impeach him and definitely not enough to remove him from office.
Trump is playing with Bobby. As long as he creates the illusion that he is completely willing to cooperate with Bobby, Trump looks like the reasonable one.
He just did it by offering to answer all of Bobby’s asinine questions in writing. There was never a chance Trump was going to answer questions like that. But, Bobby comes off looking like the jerk who wouldn’t be reasonable.
Trump is letting Bobby play himself. If it gets into the Danger Zone, Trump will start declassifying and blow the whole thing up without taking on the political liability of having to fire Bobby.
My only concern is Mueller still wants an interview with Trump. Maybe he’s being devious.
They can’t indict the President. Only impeach in the House and then convict in the Senate, and upon conviction and then removal from office we can first start talking indictment. They’re in no position to even impeach. No evidence of even a low crime and misdemeanor.
