Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy is worried about his BFF Trump speaking with "the plague" (Mueller)



In an interview with the Washington Post, Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said that Trump would be foolish to talk to Mueller, and he said that the president would be putting himself in extreme legal jeopardy if he did so.

“He should treat Mueller like a plague,” Ruddy said. “He should assert executive privilege in every opportunity they can.”

Although some legal experts say that asserting executive privilege likely won’t save Trump from having to give information to Mueller, Ruddy says the president has little choice because Mueller is coming after him with everything he’s got.

“It’s about anything and everything they can find,” he said. “This is moving rapidly, extremely fast.”

If Trump goes down, they are worried it will shut off the fire hose of cash from Moscow.

Not that Ruddy is wrong, but Trump doesn't like it when other people call him stupid. Someone should really bring Ruddy's lack of confidence to Trump's attention.

I'M INNOCENT! I'm SO innocent, in-fact, that I'm using my power to SHUT THIS WHOLE THING DOWN! What more do I have to do to prove I did nothing wrong?!

None of them care about that aspect, unfortunately.
