Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is seeking to question President Trump in the coming weeks about his decisions to oust national security adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with his plans.Mueller’s interest in the events that led Trump to push out Flynn and Comey indicates that his investigation is intensifying its focus on possible efforts by the president or others to obstruct or blunt the special counsel’s probe (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/special-counsel-is-investigating-trump-for-possible-obstruction-of-justice/2017/06/14/9ce02506-5131-11e7-b064-828ba60fbb98_story.html?tid=a_mcntx&utm_term=.6649baacb2f5).Trump’s attorneys have crafted some negotiating terms for the president’s interview with Mueller’s team, one that could be presented to the special counsel as soon as next week, according to the two people.The president’s legal team hopes to provide Trump’s testimony in a hybrid form — answering some questions in a face-to-face interview and others in a written statement.Those discussions come amid signs of stepped-up activity by the special counsel. Last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions was interviewed for several hours (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/attorney-general-interviewed-by-special-counsel-investigating-russian-interference-in-2016/2018/01/23/4f3cf45c-004d-11e8-8acf-ad2991367d9d_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_sessions-1030am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.1239054c519c) by Mueller’s investigators, according to Justice Department officials.

I find a large helping of irony in a convicted felon meth head talking about law abiding citizens.

Trump would be smart to talk to him. Otherwise Muller will get a subpoena.

How could they do their job without talking to Trump? Is this really a surprise?

And the President will claim Privilege and tell him go fuck himself.

But Trump has nothing to hide. He consistently claims that. So why would he claim privilege and tell him to fuck himself?

Because he can.

Why cooperate with a political witch hunt. If not for the fact that it would not have been politically expedient, he should have fired Mueller months ago.

Then he'll be convicting himself in the court of opinion.

So, Trump will just exert Executive Privilege. Very popular response during the previous administration. WHo knows, maybe he will invoke his 5th Amendment rights. That would at least cause Rachel Maddow to stroke out live on MSNBC her blood pressure would get so high.

People are never going to agree for the most part in forums although I've seen some forums that are a lot more partisan then this one.

That being said, If I were Trump and knew I did nothing wrong, then I'd let them question me and make them look like fools. It would most likely build up this loyalty base if nothing else. If he's done nothing wrong then he has nothing to lose.

In your opinion, that is, where he's already been tried, convicted, and sentenced. In the real world, he's still POTUS and his approval ratings are rising. It must really suck to be a liberal dem.

Why should he answer anything? Do you think he's going to admit to doing anything? No, he shouldn't talk to him and he should refuse to talk to the Grand Jury. His enemies are going to think the worst no matter what. Mueller being on a witch hunt doesn't mean Trump has to go along with the charade.

His base doesn't want any part of this nonsense. He wouldn't gain anything. One misspoken word could be blown up. Trump isn't the most eloquent speaker. He doesn't have to prove anything. Mueller has to prove something. He can't. He's hoping Trump will say a word wrong. Mueller is out to win not find any truth.

I suppose you could make that argument and I know Trump is not the most eloquent speaker, however how eloquent must one be to tell the truth? A simple, yes, no, I don't recall, etc should be all one needs to tell the truth. Any side can develop a witch hunt, but they cannot change the truth.

It seems that Muller wants to talk to Trump about his dismissal of Comey and Flynn.

Nothing about Russian collusion.

A better response: it is my Constitutional prerogative to hire and fire Executive Officers at will (hire with Senate confirmation of course).

Collusion is a dead issue. Now he is groping for obstruction of justice. It's going to be funny watching him try to criminalize the cover-up of something which never happened and isn't a crime.

If I was advising Trump, I'd tell him to answer questions with only a "yes" or "no" with absolutely no embellishment. I don't think Trump can do that.

When I was a deputy sheriff I was questioned by internal affairs about an incident I was involved in. The IA detective asked me if I committed a specific action. I said "no". I said nothing else. We sat there looking at each other for ten minutes. Finally he said "do you have anything to add to that"? I said "no". He left the room, came back about 15 minutes later and told me my interview was over. Without saying a word I got up and left. My union rep thought it was the best IA interview he had ever seen.

Suddenly you are bothered by the exercising by certain people of their constitutional rights? Then be consistent and refrain from your and other opinions not based on facts.

What bothers me are malicious, ignorant, bleeding assholes who put their hate and political agendas ahead of the good of the country. You have NEVER seen me suggest they don't have a right to speak. Just as they have a right to speak, so do I. You don't need to like it.

Get your head out of your fourth point of contact.

The attorneys won't be asking for Yes or No. If he can't have an attorney with him he shouldn't talk to Mueller. If it doesn't satisfy Mueller, Trump should come out and announce that he offered to sit down and talk under oath and was refused. Then, announce he won't answer to a grand jury on a witch hunt. He'll invoke his right under the Fifth Amendment. He would need to announce the two together.

Mueller has nothing or he would have told Congress. If he did he would be allowing a criminal to be President. You believe that? There's your Catch 22.
