Quote:WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office and President Donald Trump’s legal team are now proceeding with strategies that presume a presidential interview will likely not take place as part of the Russia investigation, after months of talks between the two sides collapsed earlier this week, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

On Monday Trump’s lawyers were discussing a possible interview with Mueller's team and had begun to hash out the final sticking points, including the timing, scope and length, according to people familiar with the discussions. One person familiar with the strategy said the president’s lawyers had sought over the weekend to expand his legal team to include individuals who would prepare him for an interview. Another person familiar with the matter, however, said preparations had not yet gone that far.

But the prospects for a presidential interview drastically dimmed once the FBI raided the home, office and hotel room of Trump’s long-time personal lawyer, Michael Cohen on Monday, these people said. The president criticized the raid as out of bounds in Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with Trump aides.

The raid on Cohen “significantly complicated” any negotiations for the president’s legal team, according to a person familiar with the discussions, who also cautioned that “you never say never” in terms of a possible interview. This person said the president’s legal team is still in frequent contact with Mueller’s team on other issues related to the investigation.

This got out of hand, Mueller does not know when to quit and there are zero limits to the scope of his investigation. Worst of all that Rosenstein fuck signs off on everything they stick in front of him.

I believe Trump is correct in declining an interview. Mueller has become a Trump adversary, and nothing good would ever come of it.

Mueller was a Trump adversary from the start, look at the Hillary Clinton donors and anti Trump staff he surrounded himself with, not to mention Trump haters Strzok, Page still who have top-secret security clearance. This has been a setup to get him by any means, and Rosenstein signs off on anything, he's a huge part of the problem.

Russia investigation? I think that at this point he is investigating everything except Russia.

Weird how they have not made a peep about how much this has cost us so far. When they were investigating Bill they wouldn't shut up about the cost. The Trump camp should let everyone know the current cost and let the citizens raise hell until it is shut down.

Good morning Kreeper, this has gone on since Trump's inauguration, it can't be cheap to have these prosecutors chase their tales for this length of time. The European rags act as if Trump is about to go to jail.

Was me logged out, I didn't want to type it twice. I'm having a great morning.

It seems like it.

Good point, it would be very interesting to watch the public reaction to that, and it appears there is no end in sight. This will last as long as Trump is in office, even if it's 2 full terms.

I'm starting to get real tired of the entire thing. After all the whining, crying and false accusations, I won't be voting for any Democrats at midterms.

Yeah... *sigh* It starts wearing thin don't it?
