Trump Avoiding Mueller Showdown?

[@naoise555]

If Trump is completely innocent and has nothing to hide, what possible harm could there be from talking to Mueller and his team?

[@jorenthar9186]

Na M Bahahahahahaha hahaha hahaha I'm dyi--a hahaha hah ohhhhhhh lordddhahahahaha

[@Breaker242]

For the same reason why the constitution grants you the right to remain silent, and for that silence to not be used as supposed evidence against you.

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

Because he’s dumb as shit and everybody would find out how ignorant to the real world he really is.

[@magnummax78]

I'm cheering for the televised hearing under oath option. Sure, it would hurt my pride as an American a little bit, but I will chose to view as lancing a boil in public. A mean, fat, irritating, orange boil....

[@GeorgeAguilar]

Because process crime. The FBI conducts these interviews in an aggressive and prolonged manner to stump the target. Bombarding you with questions. Even the most mundane of details that you might forget or slip up, like claiming some event happened around 10 when it in fact happened earlier or later than you recalled can be considered "lying to an FBI agent" which is a felony, I believe. Even if you did not do anything inherently wrong, you can still be charged with a crime. Doesnt matter if you think you are innocent or not. Anyone that's competent or has a competent lawyer will tell you to never talk to the FBI. Or in this case, Mueller and his team. The question you proposed is frankly, dumb and shortsighted.

[@naturelovingguypeoplenotso3039]

45 is avoiding Mueller, like he is avoiding being the president.

[@timothymccaskey4362]

Donald Trump is like a comedian. When he says "true story" you can pretty much guess it's total bullshit.

[@wcsxwcsx]

Heh. He'd perjure himself within the first minute.

[@bullsfan2021]

Lol reminds me of that old Bad Luck Brian meme. We need to start a Trump one

[@MrGnidlih]

Trump is smart, he'll plead the sixth.

[@coosoorlog]

perhaps he'll mix it up and plead the second amendment

[@TheDukeofMadness]

If Ana was a lawyer, I would want her to be my lawyer if I ever got into serious legal jeopardy. She would be a fierce and vocal advocate for me.

[@galloe8933]

I understand that no president has ever been indicted but no president has ever been orange. Trump could be the king of being first.

[@Jsaiis]

Galloe Of the sea lol

[@aldi404]

Trump is too much of a coward to speak to Mueller directly.

[@theschnauz2138]

It would be much harder to fire Mueller if Trump has been interviewed. Politically, it would look just as bad, if not worse than firing Comey.

[@danrion8839]

Mueller and his team will crack Trump like an Egg.

[@chadaustin1226]

Trump will crack himself if he hasn't already.

[@vidguy007]

Trump talks too much, he will get himself in trouble

[@saveusmilkboy]

"No sitting president has even been indicted for a crime" You know what they say about first times for everything?

[@nicobambino191]

Ulysses S Grant got a speeding ticket XD

[@josephyoudontneedtoknowmyl1836]

You can’t be trapped if you’re not lying.

[@pdpgb]

You can if you don't know that you're saying something incorrect. They could ask something vague like "Did you talk to any Russian government officials between these dates", you say "no", they find a picture of you talking to some Russian official that you don't even know the name of nor did you know that he was involved with Russia and *poof* , you just lied to the FBI and can get up to 5 years in prison. NEVER talk to the police without a lawyer whether you're guilty or not.

[@1234ratboy]

but he is a liar

[@Breaker242]

Yes you can. That's why lawyers will tell you almost always to remain silent in court.

[@christiella8233]

I'm pretty sure he is going to incriminate himself for being like really smart and talking to muller by himself under the presumption that he's a genius

[@surfside9640]

[@ting280]

my favorite meme or commentary on this was Hillary answered questions for 11 hours and Trump wants a take home test.

[@MichaelAronson]

Someone needs to tell Trump that Obama endured 11 hours of questioning, and he'll insist on doing 12.

[@Medame88]

If Trump is not guilty, then what would the problem be. Let him sit down with Mueller, PLEASE!!! Without his lawyers.😌

[@LetsBeCivilShallWe]

Law enforcement (the special counselor, in this case), doesn’t ask questions they don’t already have the answers to. If they’re asking to meet with Trump they’ve already went through the little fish to get to him and he’s already toast.

[@loopslytle]

He will have no choice when he receives a grand jury subpoena.

[@justme7585]

Y'all are going about this the wrong way. Encourage him to testify!! Tell him how smart he is and Mueller could never get the drop on him!! He's like a genius!

[@ButterflyDaisies713]

Trump, PLEASE talk to Mueller! You will be perfectly Ok! You are like smarter than EVERYONE! 😋🤣l😆

[@ronaldomadrebien7045]

T Abous ..........and the skill is that he hides it so well!!

[@ButterflyDaisies713]

Ronnie Motherwell he does until he gets in front of someone who doesn't get intimated 🤔😉

[@ronaldomadrebien7045]

T Abous .......let’s hope we can all see the recording of that moment. Less than a year in the job and already he has had such a damaging impact on the fabric of society. He doesn’t get that he is leading a country, not a company. The impact of his time in the White House has left, and is leaving a stain on society that will take a generation or more to dilute

[@Jugivadi]

This is where narcissists get themselves into trouble. They don't know how little they know because they think they know everything. He got tricked by Lester Holt on live TV. He still doesn't realize that he implicated himself on TV. He thinks it was a great interview, really tremendous, the best.

[@Carlparishhonda]

Trump is getting nervous.Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

[@flyndick6475]

Carl Parish who is we? And what have you got?

[@kimberlyrea3331]

Carl Parish Dude. Don’t jinx it.

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

Trump avoids Mueller like he avoided paying his business partners

[@lungcell]

I really like these 3 as a team. They're insightful and intelligent, and give TYT a more professional edge.

[@PhantomQueenOne]

Mr. Mueller hurry up.

[@Will_Salcedo]

Tick-tock Tick-tock

[@richardalexander5758]

The tRump says he's a genius, and innocent, so why not answer Mueller's questions under oath?

[@theresahanley3917]

By the way, Hilart was a highly qualified candidate for President. She was an excellent Secretary of State.

[@larryholbrook5307]

Subpoena, interagation room, bright lights, question for 11 hours. Hillary was able to do it. Low energy Don.

[@johngreen1683]

Please tell me where the Russian collusion is?

[@whatever-id6cw]

Larry holbrook Trumps not a criminal Hillary is.

[@michaeltaylor430]

Wrong, Trump is lawless.

[@whatever-id6cw]

Trump is lawless. That sound funny coming from somebody that sides with the Democrat that pick and choose the laws they want to follow.

[@distane8376]

Trump is smarter than an FBI interrogator. I just spit out my coffee.

[@johnnypastrana6727]

Distane 83 how has the fbi distinguished itself lately?

[@mysticalfeline4313]

Distane 83 That is so funny you said that cause I literally did the same thing with my coffee as I was watching this!! LOL

[@1101millie97]

Let them tell Trump not to do this interview. Knowing him, he will do the exact opposite -he doesn't like being told what to do by ANYONE, even if they have his best interests at heart.

[@Audiogeek-kf2ez]

If trump does not let it go wide open ,throw him out of the WH. He needs to be gone

[@ThePurpleyellowfan]

He contradicts himself 30 times in 1 sentence

[@QuantumWrench]

I laughed aloud at this.

[@TheTroutkitty]

I have a terrifying feeling that "no, you have to come in here" has nuclear attack on North Korea as a response. I think he's that egotistical.

[@justme7585]

TheTroutkitty - That crossed my mind too.. he might tweet it (which would agitated the other little man), but I think Congress took the codes from him. They will not let him declare war. So they say..

[@edmcnamara9907]

Anyone that voted for trump should be ashamed

[@CrystalCoyoteX]

"Well I know he screwed those students, and the contractors, and staffers, and engaged in questionable practices in real estate... but he hasn't screwed me yet so..." This is why I crack up laughing when conservatives tell me I'm the dumb one. Who falls for this shit? How gone do you have to be to think this man is honorable?

[@eironeiajsps363]

Remember when nothingburger was the conservative word of the week?

[@manofnam]

Eironeia JSPS I just seen that today, and of course a lot of snowflakes are getting tossed around as well.

[@BadWebDiver]

Yeah, when it was practically every second comment. Not so much these days... -_-

[@townsendjean]

It is a bitter irony that in the Vietnam war we had on one hand Mueller commanding a platoon of Company H, 2nd Battalion (“The Magnificent Bastards”), 4th Marines and its mission “to close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver, or repel the enemy’s assault by fire and close combat” and on the other hand trump at the same time immersing himself in the Manhattan party scene and cynically boasting that “fighting venereal disease was his Vietnam” A disgusting war coward, he evaded sacrifice not once but five times in the Vietnam war ... a draft dodger par excellence while over 50,000 americans died as he carried on his self-serving hedonistic life style with absolutely no regrets or second thoughts.

[@auntiepha8343]

OF COURSE!!

[@hugonnava]

Mueller would destroy him.

[@MrOtisotis]

trump is a genius nobody is smarter than him

[@Cyber_Freedom]

CallofDuty:KeyboardWarfare that's what he says. But the evidence is shown otherwise.

[@woodlandfaerie1912]

CallofDuty:KeyboardWarfare Please tell me you were being sarcastic!😳

[@MrOtisotis]

haha yes i was!!

[@yadabub]

"I am not a fart." -Trump

[@billboyd4051]

He gave himself a tax break, nothing else really matters, back to TV, cheeseburgers and other peoples wives.

[@jesuschristthemosthighgod3094]

MUELLER MIGHT USE WATERBOARDING 🌊⛆ ... 🤔

[@BadWebDiver]

He should, since Trump advocated it... Shame the FBI plays fair...

[@foolintherain7792]

The biggest swamp monster is going down. Drain it!!!

[@stifledvoice]

trump will be in contempt if he fails to answer a subpoena from Mueller's grand jury. the supreme court will have to decide to tell trump to testify. I hope trump finds the time in that jam packed schedule of his, getting to office at 11am and all.

[@tallen4520]

"I'll never lie to you (I'll just hide the truth."

[@David_Last_Name]

Trump, don't listen to anyone telling you not to do the interview. You are WAY smarter then Mueller, don't you remember that big brain you have? And we all know you use the best words because you're, like, really smart. Mueller won't stand a chance against you, you go get him big boy!! lmao.

[@thomasmackelly7685]

He's mr. stable. Bigly stable. Ocean stable

[@David_Last_Name]

See Trump? Listen to J Popa, he knows what he is talking about. You can do it President Tiny Hands, go get Mueller!! Lmao.

[@David_Last_Name]

+J Popa Hey, I'm agreeing with you! Trump should TOTALLY sit down with Mueller, just like you said. Don't be scared! lol.

[@ZXD7250]

How adorable. This comment thread is your safe space.

[@RedondoBeach2]

TYT, stop giving Trump legal advice! You're helping him. Why would you want to help him?!?!?!

I bet Ivanka ends up being the Deep Throat of this telenovela.

Let him sit down and talk to Mueller. I need some popcorn l.

What does it matter about "traps"? If you didn't do anything wrong? These trumpet fools are pretty much admitting these IS something wrong

Can't believe how fast these Trump TROLLS cut-and-past their BS in the comments. Best TYT fanboys ever...

[@walexander8378]

They are putting into place so many obstacles for a so called innocent man

He's coming for you donald.

[@axiom1678]

Get Lost-If he is to the President the whole case was pretty much shit then HUH? DUMBASS Where are all the indictments, I mean there was so much collusion. You progressives have no critical thinking ability whatsoever, stupid stupid people.

[@jmiller5032]

Four indictments two guilty pleas. 34% of his staff have jumped off sinking ship! (twice as many as second place Regan 17% in first year!) Now Whitehouse aids are being asked to decide weather or not they are staying through 2018!

[@polaroidsofpolarbears365]

has anyone else noticed how droopy trumps face looks lately? his face has "DOOMED" written all over it.

[@jamesburgin8168]

Can you imagine what these Republicans would be saying if the special prosecutor wanted to talk to Obama? Would they argue that he shouldn't? Heck no.

[@roccaflocca4312]

We used to be able to force something like this to happen, because the Republican voter base used to at least want to appear reasonable. They're not anymore. We're clinging to democracy by a thread with these people. The electoral college failed miserably in 2016. They're supposed to not certify votes if the candidate is unfit, and the only candidate they turned on was the one who lost anyway.

[@roccaflocca4312]

Look at your dumb ass capitalizing words at random.

[@mzb5853]

I want the pee-pee tape to be played during an online or televised interview of our fearless leader. If they did play it or air the questioning, it might stop the eye twitch I have developed since the inauguration.

[@gopeace4797]

I've heard from prosecutors that in an investigation they don't ask questions when they don't already know the answer.

[@BaronVonQuiply]

I'm a hundred percent not quilty. I mean guilty.

[@TheGoldenKing20]

Will you walk into my parlour, Mr. President? 'Tis the prettiest little parlour that you ever did spy...

[@thaiparkse]

If he didn't do anything wrong, he should've to worry about anything! Unless he hiden something like his tax issues!

[@Unzinkable]

Trump's a big old scaredy cat. Too afraid to talk to Mueller. BAWK! BAWK! BUH BAWK! Scaredy cat.Scaredy cat.Scaredy cat.

[@newworldgod685]

I think Trump is stupid. But to know that there is actually someone retarded enough to make animal noises on the internet just goes to show, how stupid the United States is as well. You are a human embarrassment.

[@DandyDon1]

Put Trump in that room....shine the light in his eyes and interrogate him (in that police interrogating Cosmo Kramer) style! lol

[@jimengle1615]

Muller doesn't look like a man with a sense of humor but I think he would break into uncontrolled laughter should he be asked to accept a "signed written denial of any wrong doing".

[@HairOnScreen]

This will be the end of the Trump presidency. It's all over for him! LOL

[@shadowshifter7]

deebo I, actually not how our system works, I think you meant 3 more years. Also a year is really not that long for a investigation of this scope, I thought not much would come out till 2019.

[@rbdsakura]

out of two things, trump can't understand three, the third one being why he did not understand the first two...

[@haha-hg6yq]

And then comes the subpoena

[@crimsonhalo13]

IT'S A TRAP! Our politicians can't repel impeachment of that magnitude!

[@ZXD7250]

Have a feeling that Mike Pence is orchestrating this whole thing.

[@taralyamcdonough87]

Trump doesn’t want to be interviewed under oath or in person. Trump is saying that he won’t be interviewed in person or under oath, like they did for Hillary, “ he said”. I really think Trump is wrong about Hillary not being under oath! Who knows what he’s going to do for sure, but this was what he’s saying today. I really hope Mueller makes him be interviewed in person under oath, and televised!

[@righthandstep5]

Taralya Mcdonough he won't be interviewed unless he is arrested and forced to like a regular dictator would be.

[@sj3054]

IT'S A TRAP!! (Admiral Ackbar)

[@CButtonshaw]

sssshhhhhh don't tell Trump

[@Cosmicguy88]

It’s not like Trump would listen to Ackbar anyway. He’d just deport his fish-face and build a “big, beautiful” space wall.

[@pniiice]

so many statements, so many revelations, so many details? direct testimony will be like walking through a minefield of inviable mines.

[@graey24601]

Donald Trump exists because the cosmos decided there had to be somebody who was the opposite of Sun Tzu.

[@kimgreathead]

That is brilliant!! Watch people scramble to look up the name, even after that most famous of books " The art of the deal". Keep on shining!

[@shadowspider9]

Something i just thought of. Trump could try to use North Korea as a scapegoat. What better what to slow or even temporarily halt an investigation then by going to war with another country.

[@shadowspider9]

By chance could you clarify what kind of approval he needs for what actions? For example there was the story just today about McMasters 'noise bleed' strategy, ie: that he is trying to convince Trump to use the next time North Kora conducts a nuke or missile test as an excuse to launch an attack. And from there it would be up to Kim if he labeled the attack a deceleration of war. Which it pretty much would be. Is that something Trump needs approval from congress for or can he give that order it himself?

[@llg4958]

I hope that Robert Mueller breaks Trump in half... like a boy.

[@xy6845]

He's "not big on awareness". Yeah. Nicely put John.

[@OllyRoberton]

Mueller would crack him like a fascist egg...

[@victoralexander848]

if trump is a maga genius; why is he so afraid to be interviewed. can you imagine his brain so confused it would fry

[@ProMace]

LOL!

[@dbg0206091]

He'll start war beforehand..... ( I pray I'm wrong)

[@MrBigcityal]

[@vincebellisano1347]

[@mrhypnagogia]

[@A1TQC]

My fear in getting Trump is he actually gets impeached and GOP rallies around V.P. Pence.... Zealot in Chief Pence

[@shadowspider9]

Our best hope is that Trump is kicked out and Pence takes over, and then at the same time the Democrats flip the house and Senate. At that point we end up with a President who won't sign off on anything the Senate or House try to pass but also is respectable and keeps his mouth shut.

[@1234ratboy]

That doesn't take away from the fact that Trump is too stupid to continue as the POTUS

[@PhantomQueenOne]

Sadly you are right, Pence wants to bring about the 'end times' by starting a war in the middle east. He needs to go too.

[@ticnatz]

[@whatever-id6cw]

Yep.

[@PaulJersey]

As a conservative I think that Trump has no street smarts! The first thing your lawyer tells you when you have an issue is shut up and not say a word to anyone. If you have to answer questions they tell you only short direct answers. Trump might have nothing to do with any sort of Russian involvement, but that doesn't mean all of his people didn't. Someone could drop a dime on Trump. Trump best stay away from Mueller at all possible costs!

[@PaulJersey]

I agree! My attorney would drop me like a hot potato and keep my retainer if I willingly agreed to talk to a prosecutor...LOL! Regular people like ourselves hear the title "special prosecutor" used in the same sentence with our name, and break out in a cold sweat! Trump is deliberately antagonizing Mueller! Unbelievable!

[@stlukes99]

Why does it take a couple weeks to speak to someone after a month? My company wants answers in hours, not weeks or months...

[@rocksfire4390]

its simple, they are not talking to 1 or 2 people. they are talking to thousands of people, reading thousands of documents. they have to get court orders and follow rules which take time. people don't crack in a day, it can take weeks of supplied pressure for them to cave and give information. the difference i can only assume is you're dealing with non-criminals and Muller is dealing with criminals. they don't act the same way, e.g one will give information easily while the other will not unless you force their hand in some way.
