President Trump declined to commit to interviewing with special counsel Robert Mueller, saying in comments released Friday that he has not been asked to do so.

"I don’t know. I mean I – nobody's asked me to do that," Trump told Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo when asked if he would do an interview with Mueller.

Bartiromo pointed to media reports that Trump's legal team was weighing whether the president should interview with the special counsel. Trump continued to insist during the Fox Business interview that "there is no collusion" amid federal and congressional probes into his campaign associates' ties to Russia during the 2016 election.

"There is no collusion, I can tell you that," Trump said, claiming "everybody's seen that."

1. yes, he probably won't

take the witness stand at his own criminal trial prosecuted by Mueller.

If I was him, I wouldn't take the stand either.

Traitor, money launderer, thief, and cheat. And a liar.

2. Would any smart attorney let this man testify?

They would try to fight it tooth and nail I assume.

3. A normal and sane person would gladly sit down just to clear the air

a guilty one would run and hide

[FakeNoose]

4. In his own mind, he's smarter than all the lawyers, judge and jury

He'll figure that he can fool them nine ways to Sunday.
Can't wait for this to start.

8. I'm afraid you'll have a long wait

This country has a long tradition of letting criminal presidents skate. Everything indicates Mueller is just running out the clock.

9. I don't expect the Mueller investigation to elicit anything more punitive than...

..."Sorry. My bad. Won't do it again."

And that'll be that.

People who sincerely believe that Trump, Pence, and the rest are going to be frog-marched out of the White House and America's long nightmare will be over are setting themselves up for disappointment.

11. I disagree.

I remember.

[George II]

5. If you're subpoenaed, you'll do it. Period!

[Honeycombe8]

6. He doesn't give away info like that, anyway. We'll find out about it afterwards.

Or at the earliest, on the day he goes for the interview.

7. Seen any subpoenas or any serious action re 45 and family?

...

10. "I can tell you that" "That, I can tell you" "Beleive me" Trump's lying tell...

If Trump says one of those phrases, it's about a lie he is telling.
