White House Canceled Scheduled Mueller Interview

The date had been picked, the location too, and the plan was penciled in: President Trump would be whisked from the White House to Camp David on a quiet winter Saturday to answer questions from special counsel Robert Muellers team, the AP reports.
But as the Jan. 27, 2018, date neared and Mueller provided the topics he wanted to discuss, Trumps lawyers balked. Attorney John Dowd then fired off a searing letter disputing Muellers authority to question the president. The interview was off.

(4,066 posts)The only way he'll be interviewed by Mueller is if he goes against his attorneys' advice. Which is not at all an unlikely thing for him to do. He believes what he says when he says he's the smartest guy in the room, a stable genius. He believes he's really done nothing wrong. That people are just out to get him (well, that part is pretty much true - but for good reason).
Under no circumstances would a sane attorney let him speak to the FBI under oath or not. The man cannot make it through one sentence without lying. Their only hope would be to plead that he's such a sociopath he's not mentally competent and doesn't really know he's lying.
I could see him get pressured into it and doing it just to show people he will do it. Like doing something on a dare. It would be tough for him to resist it under those circumstances. Just play his ego against him. Mueller has been doing this quite well so far.
