Donald Trump says he is looking forward to being interviewed by Robert Mueller. Actually I think we are ALL looking forward to that.

Courtesy of the New York Times: 

“I’m looking forward to it, actually,” Mr. Trump said of talking to Mr. Mueller, answering months of speculation over whether he was willing to submit to questions from the special counsel, who is also believed to be looking into whether the Trump campaign aided Moscow’s effort and whether the president sought to thwart the inquiry itself. 

“Here’s the story, just so you understand,” Mr. Trump said during an impromptu question-and-answer session with reporters in the West Wing. “There’s been no collusion whatsoever. There’s no obstruction whatsoever, and I’m looking forward to it.” 

Mr. Trump suggested that his efforts to defend himself against damaging allegations had been unfairly misinterpreted as wrongdoing. 

“You fight back,” he said, and such a response is characterized as, “‘Oh, it’s obstruction.’”

(If by "fighting back" he means firing the agents responsible for an investigation directed at you, then yes, that is indeed obstructionism.) 

“I would love to do that — I’d like to do it as soon as possible,” the president told reporters on Wednesday of the prospect of being interviewed by Mr. Mueller, adding that his lawyers have told him it would be “about two to three weeks” until it takes place. Almost as an afterthought, he added, any such interview would be “subject to my lawyers, and all of that.”

Trump also said that he would be willing to answer questions under oath, while also claiming that Hillary did not do that, apparently not realizing that anytime you are questioned by a Special Counsel or the FBI that you are legally compelled to tell the truth. 

Of course right after this exchange Trump's attorney tried to walk it back, saying that Trump was "hurried" and misspoke. 

Gee, I wonder if he will feel hurried during the actual testimony?

It should be noted that there is an article on Vox, which states that Mueller's obstruction case appears damning. 

There is also a new Washington Post/ABC poll which shows that half of Americans believe that Trump colluded with the Russians, and slightly more than half believe he is obstructing the Russian investigations.

So it would appear that the only people who think that Donald Trump is safe from any prosecution, and that he did nothing wrong, are living safely inside the White House bubble.

    Notice that Mueller is not interviewing Pence. Even though Pence has offered.

    Can we say "target"?

    In an editorial published on Thursday, New York Times contributor Ryan Goodman suggested that the Trump inner circle had already been implicated in a ‘conspiracy… to mislead federal officials’ about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

    “Donald Trump and officials of the 2016 Trump campaign have established a clear pattern of lying to the media,” Goodman writes. “More important for the law on obstruction, they have also either approached or crossed right over the line of lying to federal authorities.”

      Protect and reinforce your FBI agents that work within your communities throughout the country, America.

      Trump and his comrades are trying so hard to bring them down! I have two friends that are agents and they are the very best Americans we could have!

      I can hardly wait for Trump to go to jail for his close connections to Russians!

      A JOKE?"“You [focused] on two words from one of the texts which was a ‘secret society’… "
      "Johnson said that he was “just connecting the dots” based on information he had heard from “all kinds of people.” <RIGHT
      "“My involvement goes back three years and the sham investigation into what I believe was a crime by Secretary Clinton,”
      "“By the way, another pretty important piece of information to come from the last batch of texts is that we now know that President Obama received a text or an email from Clinton–”"

      't's a stand alone message from Lisa Page:
      "Are you even going to give out your calendars? Seems kind of depressing. Maybe it should just be the first meeting of the secret society" '
      'Hours after it was debunked, Fox's Ingraham says "thank God" for Devin Nunes, Matt Gaetz and Trey Gowdy for exposing "incredible things" like "maybe even secret societies in the FBI"'
      " when all else fails, Republicans who want to do Trump’s bidding start talking about Hillary Clinton.

      For instance, during a Fox News interview on Tuesday, Johnson was asked if he thinks Trump should allow Mueller to interview him. He replied that he has no opinion on the matter because “I’m really more on the Hillary Clinton email scandal.”"“it’s real possibility” it was a JOKE."'

    The manchild is a pudgy sack of vulgarity and lies upon lies upon lies. You would think at some point in time they could get him for purjury, but what do I know. I guess he's never told a lie under oath. Hard to believe.

    Add this to his list of lies,next he will br saying Mueller didn't meet his demands and was going to be mean to him,so he won't be testifying.

    He has always gotten away with others taking the fall for him and thinks he will get away with it again.

    No question, trump would do his pitiful bait and switch.
    He is a con and is trying to deflect from his numerous other indiscretions.

    " looking forward" is trumpspeak, for I have a plan b ,reverse psychology?
    I will only want him severely ruined and in prison!!

    “I know no Russians, I don’t know nothin’ about nothin,’” he said. “I’m not being a witness. I’m not hiring a lawyer.”

    “A memo can be a weapon of partisan mass distraction,” Smith said. “Especially at a pivotal moment in American history, when it behooves the man in charge for supporters to believe the institutions can’t be trusted, investigators are corrupt, and the news media are liars. Context matters.”
