I see no way Trump will sit down with Mueller for an interview.

I know I would never allow it if I was representing him. If Trumps ego got in the way I would have to either quit or handcuff him to his desk.

Trump's legal team rebuffed request for Mueller interview in recent weeks

CNN

I believe this position will hold even under threat of a subpoena.

Mueller is far along in his investigation. Just look at the oligarchs and corporations he has indicted. I don’t think he has to wait for anything on that front as most of it has nothing to do with direct campaign coordination. They were stones he was turning over along the way. Some pretty legally complex stones.

I think he has everything he can get on Stone and has simply been monitoring him. Stone is worthless in the flipping department. Stone completely lacks credibility and will spoil everything he touches. I think Mueller has all he needs from him. Stone is going to find himself yearning for Mueller before the trial but Mueller will offer him nothing. Poor Stone.

Stone was directly coordinating. I don’t think there is much further to go. It’s the cornerstone of the investigation. Mueller already had a lot of Stones communication. Mueller has what he needs here with respect to what happened. It’s just about scaring the shit out of some people in case there is more he hasn’t found or because they will be more legitimate witnesses than Stone.

We are at the meat and potato’s. I believe Trump is already nailed as Cohen rolled on him. Remember that one of the charges Cohen plead guilty to was getting excessive campaign contributions at the behest of the campaign or individual within the campaign. The Stormy fiasco was clearly an illegal in kind campaign contribution that wasn’t registered as such and I’m confident Trump was directly involved. Trump is already toast, IMO. Mueller has him.

We are going to see a handful of more indictments that flow directly from Stone. I think that will almost be the end before the report. Almost? I think Trump will be indicted soon after the next round of indictments and before the report is handed over. He will be indicted but no move for arrest will be made. The WH will immediately go to court and settle the big question. Can an indictment against a President stand.

Trump will be impeached and convicted. The conviction will come even with a Republican Senate because Mueller will have him indicted. That will be the nail in the coffin.

Trump will be indicted. We already know enough that a GJ would hand one down.

Those are my thought. My opinion. Lots more against Trump I’m just hitting on some of the bigger picture.

1. If I were guilty of something,

I would not want to talk with a prosecutor either.

And that, in my view, is the core of the matter.

[WeekiWater]

2. If I were representing him,

And thought he was innocent, I would never allow him to speak to investigators. Know your client.

That said, I do think the real reason is what you state.

[guillaumeb]

3. We both know that Trump is a crook.

And a racist. Many, if not most, GOP voters have no issue with either factor.

4. At this point....

you can't have Trump be interviewed. Mueller has testimony from so many people, from so many angles, that there's no Trump can say anything without incriminating himself, whether he tells the truth or if he lies. As has often been said, Mueller already knows the answers to the questions he'd be asking.

5. No way. If you are his attorney you will have to tackle him to prevent him from opening his mouth

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Trump's

Presidency effectively ended the day he shut the Government down. Watch how the two houses of Congress put some real boundaries on him for the next 24 months. He is losing his so called Political grip by the hour. Way to many negative stories hitting the air waves and notice how Donnie Boy is not venturing out of his Cave.

Trump will bluster and bluster,but,the truth is,his Donors took one hell of a hit money wise and that crowd does not like losing money.

7. He will

if the alternative is facing the grand jury all alone.
