Trump’s lawyers are trying to do everything that they can to keep their client away from sitting down for an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Kristen Welker reported on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, “We spoke to three sources familiar with the matter who say the talks are preliminary and they are ongoing. With the president’s legal team considering a range of options which include how the president would be interviewed directly by special counsel Mueller or potentially his investigators, the legal standard for when a president could be interviewed, things like the location, the duration, potential topics and then this really caught our attention, potential compromises including written responses instead of a formal sitdown with one source even saying there are talks of submitting an affidavit.”

Trump’s lawyers know that the fastest way for their client to end up in jail or impeached would be to sit him down to answer questions from Robert Mueller. The Special Counsel doesn’t have to agree to any of Trump’s conditions, and Trump doesn’t have to agree to an interview. The danger for the White House is that if Trump doesn’t submit to questions, Mueller could subpoena him to appear in front of the grand jury, and the last thing that the Republican Party wants to see is their pathologically lying president placed under oath.

The President claims that the Russia scandal is a “hoax” while behind the scenes, his lawyers are trying to cut a favorable deal for his testimony.

Trump has embraced the delusion that the Russia scandal is not real, but those fantasies will be shattered when he finally has to answer questions from the Special Counsel. Mueller is following the leads to Trump, and the president’s survival may depend on whether or not his lawyers can cut a deal.
