Mueller asks to interview Trump in-person because written responses were 'not enough': report

Special counsel Robert Mueller and his team were apparently not satisfied with Donald Trump’s written responses to their questions — and still want to interview him in person.

CNN reported Friday evening that Trump’s responses were “not enough” and that the president’s lawyers have already denied the special counsel’s interview request.

CNN: Mueller still wants to interview Trump. Apparently written questions were not enough.

Trump cannot have a conversation of any length without lying.

It would be legal suicide for him to speak with Mueller - guaranteed perjury and obstruction of justice.

So what we need to convince him of is that if he chats with Mueller, more people will think he (is) has a big dick.

Wishful thinking

Trump agreed to answer questions and did not object to a written interview. Mueller, IMO, knew the answers would not be adequate. So now, how does Team Trump say NO to an in person interview? Try and invoke the 5th after he has responded? IMO, once the box has been pried open and some of the contents spilled, it's really hard to go back to Square One and argue that the box should never have been opened. What possibly could be the objection now that some form of questioning has started?

Between the speed and the fear of dogs he’ll freak completely out.
