Discussion: WSJ: Trump Lawyers Seek To Avoid Perjury Trap In Potential Mueller Interview

Off subject I know but this is just pathetic and disgusting.

“It would be a travesty to waste his (Mr. Trump’s) time…

Lawyer of the year award to the guy who said that with a straight face.

I’m sure she forgot about it quickly…

My take is that Jared is a person of interest to Mueller and that is what is holding up his clearance. Now the trick for the WH is how to finesse that. Passing it off to Kelly would be a first step…

Liar of the Year

FIFY

This is not the most Onionesque story I have read about Trump, but it might be in the top ten. It would also be a great subject for parody by the President Show.

Next headline “Trump team and Mueller agree on safeword for Trump to use during interview”.

He’s The. Worst. Liar. Ever.

NBC Nightly News just mentioned that McGahn was advised that Jared has a “major snag” in securing clearance…

Robert “Snag” Mueller?

So, how can he lie without consequence. That’s what the presidency has come to.

as long as it’s down the ramp of the abbattoir

pike_bishop · February 25, 2018, 11:50pm

He could lie in front of an oncoming train

maximus · February 25, 2018, 11:51pm

Sounds Kosher…

I was just going to say Trump’s lawyers -Russia conspiracy or not- have nicely laid out why he has no business being President. Kudos to them, I guess?

old_curmudgeon · February 25, 2018, 11:51pm

I don’t think that would be without consequence. But if you can convince him otherwise…

the internet lacks a “1,000 likes” button

Oh, no doubt. And a normal President would have gotten rid of Jared long ago. But this is Trump we’re talking about. I’m actually surprised he’s letting that stop him when he’s gone over the line so many times in so many egregious ways already. In other words, I didn’t think there was a line Trump wouldn’t cross.

tena · February 25, 2018, 11:55pm

Yeah - it would be nice if someone who had the authority would pick up the fucking ball but it’s probably too late for that - the law will get him before the mental facility does.

stoy · February 25, 2018, 11:55pm

Send the subpoena, Mr. Mueller. Maybe this is for show, to demonstrate that his team tried to arrange something for the sake of the office of president. The WH are liars who overestimate their leverage.

tena · February 25, 2018, 11:56pm

This is the truth.

ronbyers · February 25, 2018, 11:56pm

Trump needs Jared to tell him if there is anything important in the daily briefings. I assume Putin really appreciates Jared’s insights as well.
