I can see that. But wouldn’t it be more effective to ask those questions in person so you can follow up rather than allowing DJT to answer in ways that will commit to no real answers?
-
In this case probably not. Because it would delay getting him on the record. And it'll be easier to demand testimony when you show him as an unindicted co-conspirator.
-
Ok makes sense. Really puts Trump in a tight spot. Mueller avoids subpoena battle, gets information that will look at best not entirely truthful/at worst outright false. If WH still won’t cooperate, Mueller looks like good guy willing to compromise, Trump looks incredibly guilty.
-
Right. And with each new indictment we're going to see more outlines of Trump's involvement, making it harder for Trump to impeach.
-
I can see that narrative taking shape. Stone first on election charges; after that Don Jr on some election charges; after that maybe Erik Prince, George Nader, Manafort, Kushner on sanctions-for-money charges, when we find out what Flynn gave to Mueller. All linked to Trump.
