As we now know, Mueller subpoenaed one of Trump’s close associates involved in international business deals and is now going hard after Cohen. This is about so much more than simple obstruction, and I doubt Trump’s lawyers even know how to prepare him properly because even they haven’t seen his tax returns. And he won’t be truthful with them regarding his shady financial activities. So what’s he going to do? Plead the 5th?
The only preparation that would do Trump any good would be practicing how to score low on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment without being too obvious about it.
Maybe he can wear an earpiece a la bad spy movies with Jeanne Pirro answering for him. And, yes, I’ll bet in the end, he will plead the fifth.
Not gonna happen.
The preparation measures are said to be “in their infancy,” eh?
Perfect in so many ways.
By the time they mature Trump will have died of old age years before.
This is approximately how the interview will go. But I wonder. Who is this “legal team” who’s prepping him? Oh I see now. They’re infants.
'debating potential topics that Mueller could ask the President. ’
How would that be something to negotiate? This is a criminal investigation!
Let Trump be Trump. Sounds like a good plan to me. He will probably tweet about his interview. What can go wrong? Give him enough rope to hang himself.
and his other choice is subpoena, and then what? plead the 5th, cry witch hunt and hope they can find a crooked judge to look the other way?
They are making him practice saying: “Did I say that? I don’t remember.” Over and over again, no matter how painful the sting of the questions.
“Mr. President, did you tell the Russian Ambassador the top secret launch code to the {redacted} Weapon System?”
“Did I say that? I don’t remember.”
“Mr. President, in this recording of your conversation with Boris Badinov, did you say you would sell him a condo apartment owned by Trump Fancy Pants LLC for $5.6 million, even though, as you say, it is valued at $250,000 by the county assessor?”
“Did I say that? I don’t remember.”
“Mr. President, did you really ask Stormy to spank you with that issue of Forbes?”
“Did I say that? I don’t remember.”
Would I be wrong in thinking that Dotard’s attorney’s are probably fluent in the Russian language?
Just to make sure there’s no confusion?
I think Roy Moore will be translating.
I honestly don’t think Trump has the capacity to answer questions honestly, truthfully, and directly. Maybe he once did, but it’s not there now. “Truth” was many brain plaques ago.
Sassy would have far more horse sense than PedoRoy…
Mueller is just honoring decorum by even allowing this to proceed to this point …
While donnie prepares for a ’ potential ’ interview ? …
Mueller is preparing a subpoena …
He doesn’t need to ’ ask ’ …
And I doubt he enjoys wasting taxpayer cash like others —
He knows donnie plays games … and has no intention of doing the right thing …
Nope … I see him before a GJ using the 5th … or trying to …
(he doesn’t understand it’s applications ) —
This would be great. About two weeks after this interview I would expect to see a flood of indictments-- maybe 20-30 over a week or two. I can hardly wait.
In his classic Dunning-Kruger ignorance, tRump actually thinks he’s smarter than Mueller and his team.
In reality, every morning Mueller relieves himself of more intelligence than tRump was born with.
"…the measures being taken to prepare Trump for an interview are still “in its infancy.”
Easier to teach an infant to not lie than reform a seventy year old serial liar.
Good luck!
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.”
This is a false statement by the official. There is no “preparing Trump” for anything. Is his team working on how to address this? Yeah, I believe that. Are they TRYING to prepare him. Possibly. But we all know Trump isn’t getting prepared for anything. His brain does not work that way. If an interview happens, he will not be prepared and it won’t be because of his legal team, it’ll be all on him.
