If only it were to be televised. Grocery stores would be sold out of popcorn.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall. Must be funnier than Monty Python.
Where’s Roy Cohn? Can the President take the Fifth?
With Sekolow? Cohen? … Beuller? … Bueller?
I recall reading about the futile debate prep sessions Trump had. Ala no attention, talking about self, throw up hands (candidate and those attempting to prep him) - and imagine this will be much the same. Well, not quite. One imagines that those leading the debate prep had some experience/competency in political debates. Here - even the lawyers (who?) have experience with this sort of interview.
I never thought I would say this, but…John Dowd was right. There’s tremendous legal jeopardy for Dump to talk to Mueller. I can’t believe any competent lawyers would let this happen, unless there really is no choice.
Maybe they think they can head off a subpoena by doing this? Idk…
Undoubtedly, all of the prepping is being live-streamed to Dotard on FUX News?
The President’s inner circle is preparing a Crib Sheet for him to hold during the Interview, like the one he held when meeting survivors of the Parkland, Florida school shooting. The first item on the Crib Sheet:
18 USC Sec 1001
whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years
Note to Trump attorney’s: Make sure every third word is TRUMP, or Dotard will never pay attention.
That’s one of the ingredients of this problem. The other (bigger) problem is a client who believes that if he gets to tell his story - everyone will believe him and the episode will be done.
They will gut him like a trout.
Mr. Mueller is probably having uncontrollable fits of laughter over this news…
Prepare ?
According to a White House official and a source familiar with the proceedings who spoke with CNN, the measures being taken to prepare Trump for an interview are still “in its infancy.”
So is their client and therein lies the insurmountable problem. Please proceed.
Being the highly competent prosecutor that he is, Mr. Mueller has his staff studying interrogation techniques…
the measures being taken to prepare Trump
First good laugh of the day.
Slowly he turns…
Seriously I’m sure there’s an interesting challenge posed not just by the office he holds but in setting things up so you get usable information from him that’s meaningful in a legal sense. I continue to think he’s wariest in testimony situations and he’s going to be maximally evasive. Those are the givens they’ll have to work around. But they know so, so much already. We know he’s cooked. It’s just that the psychology and technical aspects of it make it a full day’s work even for the A team.
If they hook Dotard up to a polygraph machine during his interview, he’d probably black out the DC power grid…
