The Michigan legislators scheduled to meet Trump tomorrow will be taking a big step toward opening themselves up to criminal investigations at home if they go through with it.

Why Michigan’s Top Legislators Should Cancel that Meeting with Trump
The president can offer them whatever he wants to throw the election. If they take the deal, they’ll be wide-open to prosecution back home—and Trump can’t protect them.

NJ pol friends think they’re nuts to even go. Say as little as you can. Don’t accept anything of value. Memorialize it with a lawyer as soon as you leave.

1. They are walking into a trap.

[Nevilledog]

3. Good....prosecute their treasonous asses

[UCmeNdc]

2. They should just stay home. Safer that way

[Rice4VP]

6. Blame it on weather. Shouldn't it be snowing in Michigan

by now? Or claim to have come into contact with someone who tested positive. That’s a running excuse for at least another year

4. Conspiring to commit sedition.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

5. The Grotesque Orange Pustule is willing to sacrifice them both. How do they feel about it?

7. Rt.. can't say they weren't

Warned..

Muy Peligrosos!

8. Trumpola.

9. Hope they're lawyered up

They'd better not nullify my vote.

10. They are crazy to meet with Trump without their own lawyer present.

Of course Trump would probably not allow that. In that case they SHOULD say see ya. But they won't.

11. The MI AG should issue a warning....

That this could be seen as illegal election tampering.

Whatever they actually say to Trump, this certainly has the appearance of a conflict of interest.
