[struggle4progress]

Associated Press

President Donald Trump's legal team would advise that he refuse to submit to an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller unless the team can review classified information shared with select lawmakers about the origins of the FBI investigation into Russia's election meddling, Trump's personal lawyer said Sunday.

Rudy Giuliani said that should Mueller's investigators seek a court order to compel the president to testify, Trump's lawyers would fight such a subpoena all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary ...

1. I fee like they are just saying that becasue they know it's a deal breaker? And they won't do the

interview no matter what. They’d need a lot more info to put together any sort of a good cover story. He won’t do the interview.

2. I agree. They're just delaying

4. Mueller should just subpoena Trump then and let the games begin. Trump has no plans to voluntarily

subject himself to a Mueller interview. He and Guiliani are just stalling for time, while at the same time claiming that the investigation has gone on too long already after just one year. About a week ago I saw a post about the various other special counsel investigations and how long they lasted. At the top of the list was Whitewater with the Clintons, which lasted, as I recall, 4 years. I think Benghazi also lasted about 4 years.

3. Trump is welcome to be impeached and/or indicted without having cooperated with an interview

If he wants to face those charges without getting his side of the story on record, bully for him. Dumb, but by all means please proceed...

Of course, if Mueller subpoenas him instead of nicely asking for an interview then Trump's disinclination to cooperate is a gun aimed at his own foot.
