Finally it's a 'Nyet' from Trump's attorneys to Mueller on his team interviewing Trump. So much for all the tough talk, bunch of chickenshits. It now becomes a tough call if Trump should be subpoenaed for a Grand Jury testimony.

Trump lawyers reject interview terms sought by special counsel in Russia probe
Quote:
President Trump’s legal team has rejected special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s conditions for an interview with their client, saying they consider questioning the president about possible obstruction of justice to be legally inappropriate.

A letter from Trump’s lawyers sent to Mueller around noon on Wednesday significantly lessens the possibility of a voluntary presidential interview, according to two people familiar with the discussions. The multipage response represents what Trump’s lawyers expect to be their last word on Mueller’s request for a sit-down interview with the president in his Russia investigation, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the negotiations.

Omarosa says Trump is a racist who uses N-word – and claims there's tape to prove it

Was there ever any doubt?

TRUMP’S PLAN TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN INVOLVES GIVING HIS CONSTITUENTS CANCER

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018...trump-asbestos

Trump loves asbestos, which is a known carcinogen, and has been banned by every civilized country. One country still mines it. You guessed it, Donny’s favorite, Russia.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Omarosa's book is 'riddled with lies' and bashes the media for giving her 'a platform'

Ugly Sarah calling Omarosa a liar is almost as funny as one of Whell's rants. Naturally she takes the opportunity to bash the media, too. Sigh.

"President Trump ratcheted up his attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Saturday, tweeting that Sessions was "scared stiff" and "Missing in Action" in defending him amid special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia." The Hill

Poor Donnie is losing his marbles, like a cornered rat.

"Convergence is Worse than Collusion" The Atlantic

Quote:
While many Americans are concerned that the Trump campaign may have colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election, Trump’s outright convergence of interests with Vladimir Putin’s Russia may well prove far more damaging for U.S. interests in the long run. Convergence can be defined as distinct groups doing the same things for different reasons; or a unity of interests evolving from separate starting points. Both Putin and Trump seek to inject chaos into the U.S. political system. They support an assault on U.S. foreign-policy elites, encourage fringe and radical groups, and envision a U.S. untethered from traditional allies. They also share a willingness to utilize informal and semi-legal means to achieve their goals.
Quote:
Indeed, Trump and Putin are similar in many ways. Both Putin and Trump share a fundamental grievance—they feel looked down upon and disrespected. They distrust experts and the political elite, instead surrounding themselves with cronies chosen for their personal loyalty. In turn, they allow their cronies to get rich as long as they do the boss’s bidding. They create scapegoats and blame others for their troubles. They trade in conspiracy theories and lie without compunction. They insist on loyalty, embrace vengeance, shun outsiders, and exhibit the instincts of gangsters. They are bullies.

Why did 2 of Trump's aides feel the need to record him?

Hmmm. Perhaps because they know he’s a lying, conniving, snake-in-the-grass con artist?
