Trump's huge, enormous Caveman brain is no match for Mueller's much smaller one. Bok! Bok! Bok!

Trump finally admits he 'probably' won't voluntarily sit for an interview with Mueller

After repeatedly claiming over the last year that he was game for an interview with Robert Mueller, Donald Trump is finally admitting that when push comes to shove, he can't go toe to toe with special counsel in an interview. When asked during a Fox appearance Sunday about doing such an interview with the special counsel, Trump said “we’ve wasted enough time on this witch hunt and the answer is, probably, we’re finished.”

Probably. Still can't quite bring himself to admit that he's too much of a patsy to meet Mueller face to face. To justify his reluctance, Trump also leaned on the claim that sitting with Mueller would be a "perjury trap"—as in, he's constitutionally incapable of telling the truth and so talking to anyone under oath would inherently be a "trap."

Case in point: Trump also told Wallace he had no idea his acting attorney general appointee Matthew Whitaker had previously expressed opposition to the Mueller investigation. “I did not know he took views on the Mueller investigation as such,” Trump said.

Of course, multiple reports have indicated that Trump talked about the Russia probe with Whitaker during his time serving as Jeff Sessions' chief of staff. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly even described Whitaker as the West Wing’s "eyes and ears" at the Department of Justice. Not to mention the fact that several people have said Whitaker's cable TV appearances caught Trump's eye. As the Washington Post wrote:

Two Republicans close to the president said he had enjoyed Whitaker’s TV appearances and the two had struck a bond. Those TV appearances included one on CNN in which Whitaker suggested that the Mueller probe could be starved of resources.

2. Kinda hard to "both sides" this one

The media will probably elect to ignore it: Who believed what the president said all those months ago, anyway? Nothing new here. Let's talk about . . . [spins wheel] . . . Ah! Dems in disarray! That's a good, reliable story that we like to tell.
