White House lawyer Ty Cobb walks back Trump's pledge to speak with Mueller under oath

White House lawyer walks back Trump’s pledge to speak with Mueller under oath

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/white-house-lawyer-walks-back-trumps-pledge-speak-mueller-oath/

After President Donald Trump volunteered to be interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller under oath, his White House lawyer has clarified that the president spoke too quickly when making the offer.

“Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer leading the response to the investigation, said Mr. Trump was speaking hurriedly and intended only to say that he was willing to meet,” the New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman wrote on an update to the original report that broke the story.

“He’s ready to meet with them, but he’ll be guided by the advice of his personal counsel,” Cobb told the Times, adding that Mueller’s team was working out “arrangements” with Trump’s personal representation.

Must be Cobb's Snidely Whiplash twirl on the end that's appealing.

Either via this 'secret society'/Nunes Memo BULLSHIT ... or something more direct like firing him and/or Rosenstein and replacing him w/someone who'll undermine him at every turn.

There is exactly ZERO chances in HELL Trump is going to go in front of Mueller under oath for a formal/legal interview. He believes he's KING and therefore above such trifling matters.

This was said so he can point to it LATER to try to give the impression he was GONNA do it, but ... well, ya know ... there was a secret deep state society and all ... so I had to fire Mueller and purge the FBI of it's 'disloyal' management. I would LIKED to and everything because NO COLLUSION but never got the chance. SAD!
