1. Trump tells reporters he wants to talk to Mueller BUT has to listen to his lawyers.

1. Trump tells reporters he wants to talk to Mueller BUT has to listen to his lawyers.

2. Trump wants to appear like he is cooperating BUT left himself an out by saying it’s up to his lawyers.


3. If Trump’s lawyers say no Mueller can subpoena Trump to testify before Grand Jury.

This guy has been a criminal his entire adult life.

He has conspired with organized crime for decades. If he had a D after his name the republican party would put him behind bars for life.

"What, I'm not allowed to "defend myself'?"

He and his minions are going to try to re-define Obstruction of Justise (and maybe perjury/false statementes) as "defending himself" against everyone.

You see, it's our fault Trump, Flynn and any others lied and obstructed justice. If only we weren't such sticklers for the Rule of Law. /s
