Dumpf is quivering in his depends, he wants to know what Mueller has so far on him and it's driving him nutso bat shit crazy.

It's a transparent attempt to derail the investigation also, no matter what Mueller tells him if anything at all dumpf will come out with a presser stating that there's nothing to see here and try to stop the investigation by firing Mueller.

I'd bet money on it.

His lawyers might think they can wiggle something here, but this isn't a typical civil case where the guy with the deepest pockets "wins." Last I heard, Trump doesn't have any lawyers with real experience litigating and defending federal criminal cases. This isn't about screwing the landscaping company you hired to do your property out of their rightful fees.

meeting must be in public with Trump under oath. Meuller doesn't want to "meet" with Trump, he wants to depose him.

He's lived in a privileged bubble for decades, where smiling sycophants constantly attend to his every whim and all his wishes are made real. People fawn all around him, the rich and the powerful flatter his ego and tell him what he wants to hear. Everyone defers to his brilliant words, and caters to all his desires.

Trump thinks he can personally persuade Mueller to drop the investigation just be the sheer force of his personality in a head to head face off. They money be is on Mueller.
