Trump is playing with fire.
He wants to negotiate. Are the questions going to be at the White House or somewhere else?
Mueller just might say, "Mr. Trump, you have been subpoenaed to appear before the Grand Jury".
There are no concessions from Mueller.
What does Trump do then?
Other than shit his pants?

But, we are either a nation of laws, or we are not?
It would be a constitutional crisis. In my most humble opinion, the first step would be to arrest the two lawyers for Mr Trump for complicity to conspire against the laws of the United States of America.

(4,627 posts)And then he fires Mueller. Why anyone would expect the rule of law at this point is beyond me.
Our constitutional recourse is impeachment. But I wouldnt hold your breath, given this craven and seditious Congress.
I thought the Repubs stole the 2000 and 2004 elections yet Obama was elected. Twice. I guess I should remain hopeful that we regain the House and maybe Senate, but even there gerrymandering, voter suppression, likely tabulator hacking, and increased Russian interference, I dont think the odds are good.
Id love to have to eat my words!!

(111,110 posts)He has been able to recruit Devin Nunes to "educate" all the other Republicans in the House. So that, because an impeachment begins in the House, there would be enough guaranteed votes behind Nunes to keep that from happening.

(1,684 posts)There is no way the marshals or the FBI would descend on the White House and take Trump away. Separation of powers and judicial precedence would prevent that. If Trump were to break the law by refusing to testify, only Congress would have recourse via two possible courses of action: 1) Impeachment; or 2) Allow him to get away with it.
