Perhaps Mueller has informed the White House that he is submitting a subpoena to Donald J Trump..?

...if he does not get the interview or the answers to the questions he has asked?

This has thrown Trump for a loop, in my opinion.

He doesn't know how to escape the trap he has set for himself?

Eight of Mueller's attorneys met with Michael Cohen yesterday and word is that Mueller has convened a Grand Jury. Indictments are expected. We should not assume that Michael Cohen is the only person waiting to be indicted?

From the attitude and actions of Donald Trump this week, he may also be on the list?

[duforsure]

1. He may be facing indictment himself.

Or many of his family members .

[kentuck]

2. That might explain his behavior this week?

I think Mueller has given him an option. Answer the questions or answer the subpoena.

3. Supposedly he's been working on Mueller's written questions with his lawyers the last couple of days

I think it is reasonable to assume it is the written questions which have his undergarments in a twist -- specifically he now has an idea of how MUCH Mueller knows and just how screwed he is.

[kentuck]

4. I don't think the answers written by his lawyers will be enough?

And Mueller has told him as much.

[RockRaven]

5. That's certainly possible. But other grand jury witnesses have told reporters they were surprised

by how much Mueller's team knew, and how they asked them questions which they were not expecting. I think it is reasonable to assume that Trump the narcissist overestimated how much could be kept secret and underestimated how deep Mueller's team could dig. These written questions would at minimum hint at what Mueller knows and put Trump on notice that lies/BS will likely be detected -- which for Trump is like pissing on his Big Mac.

6. It's coming in from all angles on the orange shitstain.

Papadopoulos running his mouth.
Jr. and the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with the Russians.
Written questionnaire by Mueller to him.
Roger Stone and that other nitwit of his.
Dems to takeover oversight in 6 weeks.
What other crap could we possibly pile onto it for Putin's Puppet? IS IT POSSIBLE!!!

7. Trump is reeling

He made th election about him and he got trounced. Tester was the final straw. Now all this. He can't go outside either because he doesn't want to face the music or because he really is flipping out as we read today. He's retreated back into his bubble.

[Sanity Claws]

8. I think Mueller is past the stage of a subpoena for Junior

Mueller probably already has an indictment against him and can arrest him, when he thinks the time is right.
