Mueller To Trump: Let's Chat



In a clear sign that Special Counsel Robert Mueller found the written responses of pathological liar and Kremlin asset Donald "Rump" Trump (a.k.a. "Individual-1") inadequate or worse, he is reported to be seeking a face-to-face interview with Rump. The answers that Rump's lawyers submitted several weeks ago involved activities prior to the inauguration involving contacts / "collusion" with Russians. Now, Mueller reportedly wants to talk about possible obstruction of justice by Rump in the past two years:
"Mueller's interest in talking with the President is believed to include asking questions about the Trump's state of mind in regard to actions under scrutiny in the obstruction of justice probe."
Rump's lawyers know that he can't be trusted to respond to questions, since he would perjure and incriminate himself soon after the "state your name" part. The "state of mind" reference would appear to mean that they'd be looking for corrupt intent, i.e. doing something that you know is illegal, and Rump's combination of arrogance, ignorance, and guilt bursting forth in an interview would give Federal prosecutors all they need to indict. Of course, Rump's lawyers know this is legal suicide for their unhinged and corrupt client, so an interview won't be happening. Then again, there's always his impulsive, unfiltered, incriminating tweets so, over time, an interview might be superfluous.
