Trump's Allies Turn to TV to Warn Him Off a Mueller Interview

In Yo Face!
As Donald Trump’s lawyers continue to negotiate terms of an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the president’s allies are increasingly trying to warn him against it, using one of the few methods they have -- television.

Trump’s longtime friends and advisers have grown increasingly concerned that a face-to-face interview with Mueller could derail his presidency and are hoping to catch the president’s ear during his hours of channel-surfing, said one such adviser. In recent weeks, Trump’s outside advisers have gone on Fox News, CNN, and ABC’s “Good Morning America” with almost identical talking points about the risks of a Mueller interview.

The renewed urgency comes after Trump told reporters last month he would “love to” speak to Mueller, a statement his lawyers later tried to soften as they continue discussing the terms for a possible interview. With Chief of Staff John Kelly trimming back access to Trump, those outside the West Wing have taken to television -- and sometimes Twitter-- as a main method of communication given the hours Trump spends with a TV on nearby.

The advice from Trump’s friends has been nearly unanimous against a face-to-face interview, with most advocating for some form of written response to questions. While his allies say they believe Trump has done nothing wrong, they question Mueller’s intentions and the voluble Trump’s ability to avoid unintentional misstatements that could be turned into a perjury charge.

His lawyers did that several weeks ago......try to keep up.
 
If I could talk to Trump...I'd tell him most people I talk to think he doesn't have the guts to answer questions from Mueller.

That's what I would tell him.

I think Joe Scarborough has been trying to get that message through to him also.

If you were being honest then you'd confess the real motive is to get Trump to trip himself up. All the macho bollocks is just a ruse.

Mueller is only interested in a result, the truth is incidental.

The President is basically at the mercy of Mueller, written questions is his decision. If Mueller wants a sit down interview and Trump refused Mueller could take it directly to the Grand Jury where Trump wouldn't have a lawyer present. Obviously the President would fight it, meaning it would drag on keeping the investigation possibly open years till it hit the Supreme Court

Politically, none of the scenario favors the President, especially of it continues for two more years

You are probably correct, Moon.

But then he should shut his trap about how anxious he is to go before Mueller.

If someone accused me of Colluding with the Russian, Obstructing Justice and Money Laundering ...

I'd tell them to GO Fuck Themselves ... In Person, Face-2-Face.

But then that's how I roll ... ;)
