Is Trump Worried About That Potential Mueller Subpoena? Well...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The as-yet-unstoppable force of the Trump presidency and the as-yet-immovable object of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation came a little closer to each other Tuesday night. A meeting between Trump and Mueller has long loomed as a potential inflection point for the investigation, and the Washington Post reports that Mueller brought up the possibility of subpoenaing the president to testify before a grand jury during a meeting with his legal team in March.

Trump responded Wednesday morning by continuing to criticize the investigation, tweeting that it is a "setup & trap," echoing language used in a Fox News segment that aired Tuesday night.

Trump also tweeted a quote from former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova about the executive power of the president, once again raising suspicion that Trump may be mulling whether to make a move to end the investigation himself.

The threat of a subpoena came after Trump’s team of lawyers, then led by John Dowd, insisted that the president was not obligated to speak with federal investigators. Dowd, who had long been working to prevent a meeting between Trump and Mueller, did not take kindly to the special counsel’s suggestion that he could force the president into complying. "This isn’t some game," Dowd replied, according to the Post. "You are screwing with the work of the president of the United States."

4. It is a trap, for liars,

And why wouldn't they plan this out against him, as any good prosecutor would do with an important case. Its always the criminals who complain the most about legal circumstances they were stupid enough to put themselves into when committing crimes. You can't be a law and order candidate when you don't believe in the rule of law, and it only applies to others , and not yourself. That's a criminals wishful thinking acting like you're above the law, especially when they have money to buy their way out of troubles with. Dt wants a department of DT Justice, where he is the judge, jury, and executioner, and where he can do anything criminal he wants without being ever held responsible for anything. He now has the power of his office to abuse and use for his self protections from his criminal activities, and hopefully the rule of law will put this guy where he belongs, behind bars for the rest of his life. He's pissed at the world for his incompetence, and crimes he's committed because he's caught.
