Discussion: Trump Lawyer Says Team In Talks With Mueller On Interview With POTUS

Commenting on Cobb saying “He predicted that the special counsel probe should wrap up in four to six weeks,” an astute Twitterer noted “Ty Cobb sounds a lot like that plumber who promised to come back and install that sink in 2 or 3 days.”

Sounds about right. Except, of course, Ty the Plumber is no doubt demanding to be paid in advance.

I bet Trump will insist on being interviewed—especially after his genius level performance on the cognitive test, he feels like superman.

Nope, won’t happen. Golf scores will be subject to being under oath.

Absolutely. What would a person who can tell a cow from a camel have to fear from an interview with a team of the nation’s best criminal investigators?

well, apparently he won’t fear anything, right?:slight_smile:

That dynamic is almost certainly one of many that are in play here. Trump probably feels (and has felt) that HE can make it all go away because of his “best words”.

Of course even the most incompetent lawyers in D.C. would be perfectly aware that there is no way in hell they should let Trump speak to any investigators…and DEFINITELY not under oath.

But I suspect Cobb, who isn’t a great attorney, is slowly getting worn down by his own client. This will end very badly for Trump.

In one way, this slow process is providing a benefit. Pretend that Trump will not be chargeable in the end. What has happened is the slow reveal of his interactions and business practices. For someone with no Russian contacts initially, his house runs red. I certainly know far more about the man than I did when this started. The more he creates delays, the more questions. And it does seem to have traction. It is affecting the Republican future in a substantial way. If we think that the status quo is done and over, it is also so for the Republicans. Even if they squeak victories by, it will be a fragile victory.

Are we sure it was not a lucky guess?

Well, Melania said in an interview once she has two sons. Maybe she made sure they both were solid on their numbers, letters, colors, animal names and noises, all that stuff you need to know when you’re President. God knows she’s got the time.

The Trump §residential Library will hold some of the greatest works that Donald has referred to for insight and guidance. It will also be the largest collection of “Little Golden Books” in the world.

Most everything else will be classified or in the evidence locker.

Well, she isn’t spending it “being like Ivanka”…that’s Stormy Daniels job. :wink:

Telling a cow from a camel shows normal brain functioning. To test for genius, the doc should have shown him a photo of Ivanka next to one of Stormy Daniels. That would be a real test, since they’re so much alike.

Cobb told CBS that Trump is “very eager” to speak with Mueller and offer “whatever responses are required in connection with wrapping up this investigation.”

Response I: “I colluded with Russia.”
Response 2: “I obstructed justice.”

That might not work either. If Mueller showed him the pictures and asked him which one is his daughter and which one is his mistress he probably would become very confused.

The red ones make the splashing less noticeable as you follow your client into his charge into the spinning propellers.

Perhaps “My Pet Goat” will be in the library too.

How about the same a Bill Clinton testified before the special prosecutor:

  1. On tape (you can watch it on youtube)
  2. Under oath
  3. No subject off limits

Or is the orange idiot too much of a coward?
