The Associated Press “reviewed hundreds of pages of depositions taken of Trump in the past decade, including in contract and defamation lawsuits. The interviews, taken together, not only reflect his deep experience in providing sworn statements to lawyers but also offer clues to a rhetorical style that could again be on display in the event Trump is questioned by Mueller’s team.”

“The transcripts reveal a witness who is by turns voluble, giving expansive answers far beyond the questions asked; boastful, using unrelated queries to expound on his wealth or popularity; unapologetic, swift to defend incendiary comments or criticized actions; and occasionally combative, once deriding a lawyer for ‘very stupid’ questions.”

“The garrulous style belies the ‘just the facts, ma’am’ approach many defense lawyers advocate.”

2. If Trump was a real man

He would go in and talk to Mueller without a lawyer present. Only wimps need their lawyers with them.

3. Hell freezes over

4. Hit it, boys:

One of my totes fave tunes from the '60s. Truly a one-hit-wonder group. The best Beatles song the Beatles did not write.

That's odd: this version has been on YouTube for five and a half years, but I've never noticed it before:

5. He will inevitably lie. He can't help himself. And Mueller will know it. Then he'll lie

again, and Mueller will press him on it.

After a few hours of that, he will wet himself and tell Mueller how much money he has, and then he will have to be led from the room, drooling.
