Giuliani says Trump to make call on Mueller within 10 days: report

Source: The Hill

President Trump and his legal team will likely decide whether to arrange an interview between the president and special counsel Robert Mueller within the next 10 days, according to Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

“We don’t want questioning on obstruction. They would have to concede that,” Giuliani added.

Trump is under investigation for possible obstruction of justice charges related to his firing of former FBI Director James Comey. Trump, who has offered multiple reasons via Twitter for choosing to fire Comey, told NBC News last year that Mueller's Russia investigation into possible ties between his campaign and Moscow drove his decision to oust Comey.

The special counsel's office did not respond immediately to Politico's request for comment.

No matter what Mueller's investigation suggests, Trump's team is going to say "No".

his hands tied over what questions he can ask.
It's clear by now that what will happen is Trump will have to be subpoenaed at which point he will probably invoke the 5th but even that will only delay the inevitable.

If Trump doesn't fire Mueller to buy himself more time, Mueller will eventually subpoena Trump and then Trump might cut a deal on the testimony or just plead the 5th.

Something like that in my opinion

I've seen that swing, and i've the putting stroke. The handicap that is advertised is only explained by copious cheating.

5 footers are gimmes. Second chips don't count. Balls in the woods dropped outside the trees with no penalty.

Dude, you conspired with Russia and then lead a cover-up about it. What else is there to talk about? All a ruse to make it look like he has nothing to hide to a bunch of lemmings.

“We don’t want questioning on obstruction. They would have to concede that,” Giuliani added.

Ah Rudy, the obstruction charge is what brought about Bob Mueller & the special counsel in the
first place. Remember firing Comey to stop this "Russia thing?"

If you’re innocent, you have nothing to hide. This ass can’t come out in sunlight.
As a side note, Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe today made a comment about how they (Morning Joe) have to tone down the seriousness of our current national mess in their reporting. Oh, good!
