Mueller wants to question Trump on Flynn, Comey firings: report

[spanone]

Special counsel Robert Mueller wants to question President Trump on his decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey and the departure of former national security adviser Michael Flynn from the White House, according to a new report.

Two people familiar with Mueller’s investigation told The Washington Post that Trump’s legal team could present conditions for Trump to interview with Mueller’s investigators as soon as next week.

Trump’s lawyers hope to have Trump answer some of Mueller’s questions in an in-person interview and some in writing, according to the Post.

The report comes after The New York Times reported Tuesday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was interviewed last week by Mueller’s team as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

1. I assume Trump will just lie his way through the interview.

That is his MO.

2. I hope he does.

This isn't Fox News.

3. part of me would love to see him commit perjury

then get impeached for it, only to see republicans wildly spin how it was a matter of national security and great principle when it was clinton being evasive about a consensual affair but how much it's a partisan witch hunt and fake news when it's donnie lying about a foreign government installing their puppet in the white house.

4. However Trump answers he will later deny saying it. Call Mueller a liar

who is on a witch hunt. Even if the interview is taped.

And yes, security issues made him lie.

Or maybe Trump will admit to all of the collusion, saying it is his right
as president.

5. the problem with that is, trump doesn't know who else lied or told the truth

YIKES!!!!

7. For a normal person that would be a problem.

But Trump doesn't see truth as an absolute.
It is a fluid concept. He does believe in alternative facts.

And he can always label other people's testimony as lies, fake news,
and part of the witch hunt.

I assume that as soon as he finds out which witnesses have been "disloyal"
we will start a huge slander campaign against them and make them look
like liars.

6. Yeah he probably wants to talk to him about his little plan to purge the FBI too. n/t
