Trump lawyers set for key meeting with special counsel next week

President Donald Trump's private lawyers are slated to meet with special counsel Robert Mueller and members of his team as soon as next week for what the President's team considers an opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of the next steps in Mueller's probe, according to sources familiar with the matter.

While the lawyers have met with Mueller's team before and might again, the sources believe the upcoming meeting has greater significance because it comes after the completion of interviews of White House personnel requested by the special counsel and after all requested documents have been turned over. Mueller could still request more documents and additional interviews. No request to interview the President or the vice president has been made, sources tell CNN.

Things are moving along. I don’t buy the WH lawyers’ rosy spin.

1. This is a BIG deal. Mueller can get the low level fruit to flip & tell all..

but the day Mueller brings in the big one is the day the game is over for Trump & family.

Btw, Trump cannot self pardon. Note also, that to pardon Kushner, Ivanka, or Jr is equal to self pardon because they are family.


Will be watching this one closely.
Thanks for the heads up..pay attention to this event.

5. He could pardon his family, but not himself

If he pardons his family, they can still be compelled to testify against him, subject to civil contempt penalties including jail time. The president (probably) cannot pardon civil contempt penalties. Joe Arpiao was pardoned from criminal contempt, which is entirely different. Criminal contempt is a crime subject to trial by jury. Civil contempt is imposed by a judge at the bang of a gavel to induce cooperation, is not crime, and so can't be pardoned.

12. Pardoned people can't hide behind the Fifth amendment. They must tell all.

2. That tells me that Mueller is closing in on Trump.

BTW Mueller and company are far better lawyers than Trump's.

This is not just a friendly chit chat but a serious move in the direction
of bringing criminal charges against Trump.

11. Your aside is too subtle

There was a meme a few weeks ago but I can't find it. It's message was, "Let's see: On one side you've got the seventeen best prosecutors in the U.S. and on the other side are goons who tried to collude with Russia using Facebook Messenger."

Not only are Mueller et al. better lawyers than Trump's crew, Jared Kushner has better lawyers than Trump.

3. "Clearer understanding"? What part of "prison sentence"

don't they get?

They have no idea what’s about to hit them. That tells me Mueller is calling the shots.

I’m picturing General Lee at Appomattox...

4. Cue the background music .....

6. Whoa,if it has to do with Money,

will New York or California be at the table. That will be a key tell.

7. I wonder who requested the meeting. nt

[Qutzupalotl]

14. I wonder too.

My sense is things are moving on Mueller’s timeline.

8. This is the meeting

where the perps find out the feds have them on tape and they're facing RICO. This will be the lieutenants' last chance to roll before the tidal wave descends upon them.

9. Trumps lawyers will learn

Their client is a fucking crook. But then they know that.

10. Jared has hired a crisis team. This does not look good for him.

Ted Lieu just said on CNN that the fucking moron could pardon Flynn but that would be obstruction of justice. Also, even if he starts firing Mueller, etc. and pardons Flynn, the state courts will nail Flynn, just like the AGs in NY will do with the moron and Baltimore with Jared. The state courts can nail them and will do it if they are pardoned.

13. I hope this is not wishful thinking.

The noose tightens.

16. Pre Holiday propaganda visit

Of the two parties meeting, Mueller's team and the F'n MORON's team which do you think will take to the airwaves after the meeting and spin lies?

History: After meeting with Prez of Mexico The F'n MORON lied about that meeting, even when the Prez of Mexico publicly stated that the Moron lied the LessEds and KKKons of his base heard from the mouth of the liar what they wanted to hear.

China: Same
Putin Meetings: Same

So, prepare for the bullshit to flow right after the meeting from the F'n MORON's team and spox. There will be no Spox or statements from Mueller or his team on camera

Now, the only way Mueller can counter the bullshit, if he chooses ,is to let the Moron's team blab for a few days then arrest JR, Kushner and Ivanka and throw in Miller for good measure.

17. Those bumbling idiots managed to steal the most power office in the world, don't count them out.

I'd love to see the whole lot of them in orange jump suits. I Just don't see it EVER happening. Yes, I'm very pessimist.
