President Donald Trump said in a new interview that he didn’t speak to the team of Special Counsel Robert Mueller “because they were looking to get us for lies, for slight misstatements.”

ABC’s George Stephanopoulos had asked him why he only answered written questions about contact with Russia, but did not discuss anything under oath, let alone answer questions about obstruction of justice.

“I looked at what happened at people, and it was very unfair,” Trump said. “Very, very unfair. Very unfair.”

Former Trump team members Michael Flynn and Robert Gates have pleaded guilty to lying to investigators. There’s speculation Flynn might withdraw his guilty plea because he’s been changing up his legal team. Roger Stone is charged in a similar case in federal court. He pleaded not guilty, and is going to trial.

3. IOW I would have had to lie.

4. He lied claiming all along

He wanted to talk to him, then refused because if he told the truth he confess to crimes, so he either had to lie or refuse to speak to him. He lied to the American people because he's a career crook, and refused to speak to him. He also lied calming mueller had conflicts,all for pr for him, and lies. The truth is trump's biggest enemy.

7. They can't get you for lying if you aren't lying in the first place, dipshit.

So you are basically admitting that there ARE lies that they can get you for if they are clever enough in the way they question you.
