Killer, suicide mission, death wish, perjury trip - Roger Stone descriptions of Trump doing a Muller

interview.

Mueller seeks to question Trump about Flynn and Comey departures

... snip

People close to Trump have tried to warn him for months that Mueller is a “killer,” in the words of one associate, noting that the special counsel has shown interest in the president’s actions.

Roger Stone, a longtime informal adviser to Trump, said he should try to avoid an interview at all costs, saying agreeing to such a session would be a “suicide mission.”

“I find it to be a death wish. Why would you walk into a perjury trap?” Stone said. “The president would be very poorly advised to give Mueller an interview.”

2. I don't see how he can avoid giving Mueller the interview.

If he won't he can be given a subpoena to let the Grand Jury do the interview.

3. Won't Trump's attorneys fight the interview as hard as they can?

They would want to delay?

Of course Trump is so grandiose and lies with ease he might want to do an interview.

10. Yeah, it's not a special favor he grants to Mueller.

Mueller can compel him, thanks to precedent established by Republicans. Oops.

Mueller might want him first. Bet he shuts up then.

WHICH WILL WIN?!?

Trump wants to interview because he thinks that he can outsmart anyone and get away with anything. Deep inside however, and from all he is being told, an interview would be the end of him because he is guilty.

7. Donald Trump is the smartest guy there is

the smartest. A very stable genius, too. His uncle was an MIT professor if you want more proof of it.

If you think a guy like Mueller is going to scare Trump, you have another thing coming. Trump will go in there by himself with one hand tied behind his back and have Mueller's head spinning so fast that Mueller will proclaim that the Russia probe is over and that Trump is the least guilty person ever within an hour.

Why is Stone commenting and/or (if true) and advising tRUMP to avoid an interview? What does he (Stone) know? Hummmm....

9. I find it ironic that this is one crime he can't buy himself out of with campaign or charity funds.

It sounds like he's been using donor funds to buy off his girlfriends and probably a lot of other shady things.

They needed to take his shovel away from him a long time ago. His hole is so deep now, he'll never be able to climb out. Mueller will have to give him a hand up that ladder of lies.

I just hope that Mueller applies the law that confiscates funds from these characters to try to recover some of the money obtained by fraud and theft. What does he have, 4000 lawsuits that are current? Maybe they can finally get their money.
