#2 Just how many rejected opportunities for Mueller to concede gracefully this makes? Maybe Mueller should be declared a honorary Palestinian?

#5 FBI has shown that even when the folks doing the interview felt there was no deception or lies that they were able to prosecute anyway. Why would anyone trust them after that?

#6 Interview did not fit the desired narratve. Other methods were then employed.

#7 OK then. No interview. Tell the special counsel to gather his own evidence.

#8 I would tell him you can either take the written answers or go pound sand.

#11 The Criminalization of Almost Everything by Harvey Silverglate, Cato Institute(2010)
We are all criminals now. It only takes a ~~malicious~~ zealous prosecutor like Mueller to ship us off to the nearest Gulag.

#12 Trump should go ahead and answer the first dozen Meuller questions, but redact the hell out of his responses to the point of making them nearly illegible, just to piss Mueller off.

#13 If Trump doesn't sit down with him under oath, Mueller will subpoena him.

And Trump will pardon himself.

#14 If Trump does do the interview he should begin every sentence with "pardon me, ""

#15 Why not take the 5th on everthing or tell MuleTrain after each question- sir, i will take that under advisement from my attorney after careful examination of my personal records?

#18 Comment #3 nails it. Thanks Omer. Same to a bunch of other good comments. I think of the FBI and DOJ as Stazi in maybe better suits now. Must be changed.
