“If Trump lies during this interview, he will be guilty of a felony.”

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he would testify under oath about possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election. But now it looks like Trump’s lawyers are worried about a potential interview with special counsel Robert Mueller — and are seeking ways to avoid it.
NBC News reports that Trump’s attorneys are in initial talks with federal investigators about how a possible interview might take place. Trump’s lawyers have suggested the president could provide written answers to Mueller’s questions instead of sitting down face-to-face with Mueller’s team. They’ve also floated the idea of not having the president take part in the interview at all.
But legal experts I spoke to doubt Mueller would settle for anything less than a sit-down with Trump. “I highly doubt that Mueller will accept written questions and answers,” Renato Mariotti, who served as a federal prosecutor from 2007 to 2016, told me in an interview. “Prosecutors are interested in a subject’s responses to detailed lines of questioning without the opportunity to have lawyers carefully craft their client’s answer.”
That means Trump may have no choice but to speak directly with federal investigators — and that could prove troublesome for a president who has problems with the truth.
“If Trump lies during this interview, he will be guilty of a felony,” Andy Wright, a professor at Savannah Law School, told me. . . .
That’s a lot Trump will have to try to explain — and do so honestly. That’s likely why Trump’s lawyers don’t want him to speak to Mueller. Trusting that a client will be able to keep his story straight and not make false statements — intentional or otherwise — during an interview with federal prosecutors is always a risky proposition, and doubly so when that client is Donald Trump.
Two members of Trump’s campaign — Flynn and Papadopoulos — have already pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators.

The minute Trump opens his mouth with Mueller it's over. Tick tock, tick tock.

Quote:Trump will not testify. Instead, he'll tease 'em for months and it will end with him saying he would, but he can't, because Mueller is "biased". He would reveal his income tax returns, but he can't, because the IRS is auditing him. Remember his promise about his real estate holdings are going into a blind trust, but in the end, he can't?

Mueller can and will subpoena him. This is, going to happen.

Quote:What's Mueller to do if Trump refuses to testify? Arrest Trump? Trump won't testify unless he is feeling suicidal or he deludes himself that he is not publicly naked like in the story of the Emperor's New Clothes. Bill Clinton is the only U.S. president to testify as the subject of a grand jury investigation. He testified for over four hours from the White House on closed-circuit television. And that was only after a four-year probe. Trump's probe won't even be a year old until May 2018.

We both know it will drag on until there is no way out for him but to refuse. Then the law kicks in and Mueller may be able to charge Trump with something. Congress can't prosecute but Mueller can. At any rate, think elections 2018 with Trump refusing to answer questions regarding russia under oath.

WASHINGTON — If Robert Mueller seeks to question President Donald Trump, could the White House successfully refuse to make him available?
Like anyone whose testimony is sought by grand jury subpoena in a criminal case, the president could cite his Fifth Amendment right not to testify against himself. Such a move, however, would carry significant political risk.
