if Mueller has now moved from Don Jr and Kushner, to the big guy, what is that signaling? Is it

A. Don Jr and/or Jared rolled on him and Mueller is teeing up for his charges against Trump?

B. Mueller is attempting to interview his last witness and close this out?

If you watched "West Wing" you know what it means.

I think he’s wrapping it up, IF he is in fact planning to interview the President. I’m not sure that story wasn’t planted by the WH to make it look like it’s at an end.

Damn, I hate that show but my wife loves it! Since it's got so cold, I've been forced up from my basement hideout to watch TV. Sharing a TV. It's like being a kid and forced to watch Lawrence Welk!

It looked like the Prez and her advisor were going to go girl-girl the first time I saw "West Wing"? I thought, "Hmm, this might not be bad?", but nothin' happened.

I surely hope Trump refuses such an interview. Major concern is that he gets entrapped in a mis statement that can be used to edict based on Lying. This is ALL this investigation has and wants to do as much damage with no ammunition as possible. o not fall for this lure. Nothing good will come from such an interview.

Is the POTUS above the law? What if he refuses an interview and is then subpoenaed to testify in front of the grand jury? Does he refuse that, also? Aside from the issue of putting himself above the law, would that not make it appear as if he has something to hide? Much better to be transparent. That way if the investigation says there is no evidence of wrongdoing, or if the invesrigation says there is evidence of wrongdoing, the American public can have confidence in it and move on in the appropriate direction. Better for Trump to look Mueller in the eye and stand his ground than duck the interview.

A guilty man should not allow to be interviewed by investigators.

He will duck the interview.

Above the law? Everyone has a right not to testify. I do agree it is better for him meet with Mueller but he isnt doing anything wrong if he doesnt talk. I am not sure how a grand jury would work in regards to POTUS.

Do you do criminal law? I can’t believe that would be the advice you gave clients. My friend says his advice to clients is very simple and very straightforward: “shut your fvcking mouth, do not speak, that’s why I’m here”.

Never speak with law enforcement if there is even the hint that you're under investigation unless a lawyer is sitting with you and has briefed you before hand.

It's the appearance. As a politician, the most visible politician in the country, it does not look good for him to duck the interview. He keeps saying he has nothing to hide. He keeps saying he is not under investigation. Technically, you are absolutely correct that he doesn't have to do the interview. And as his lawyer, i would advise him to not do the interview. But unlike a criminal defendant protected by the presumption of innocence and the right to not self-incriminate, Trump is POTUS. Dodging the interview is definitely within his rights, but from a practical, political perspective, may not be the best course of action.

As to the above the law query, it was just that. If he is subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury, must he do so, or is the POTUS above the law? I don't do criminal law, but i don't think that issue has been judicially resolved in black-and-white, even though it has been discussed before in relation to other Presidents.

I dont think talking to Mueller would be a problem but with it being criminal to lie to a prosecutor I would want the freedom to not answer if I was not sure or to answer the question in writing within x days of the interview for something I was uncertain.

that's as good as any “Russian Collusion” conspiracy, ...... I’d run with it.
