I don’t believe Trump will ever talk to them. You simply cannot take what he says literally. He was simply letting the public know that he is guilty of nothing.

To be frank, I didn’t know they were allowed to lie. That is immoral and criminal on its face.

Scooter Libby. Bush showed his loyalty to the deep state when he wouldn’t pardon him.

And Trump must not listen to anyone saying that he has to talk to Mueller for political reasons. If he’s gutsy and chooses his talking points well, he can convincingly explain his way out of it. Just give the public a long list of reasons why Mueller is biased.

Oh yeah. The police and FBI can lie to you at will. They do it all the time.
But make an honest mistake and they “gotcha”!

So the Black Lives Matter people have a gripe along with everyone else?

Luckily, I’ve had very few occasions to talk to police.

This is simply the best Lawyer advice for any citizen. You have no power to prevent the government form creating lies. The less you say to the government the more options you have in defense if they decide to come after you.

The fact there is any law compelling anyone to tell the truth except under oath, with a right to council and a right not to testify, shows that the government is fishing for defendants, not seeking the truth.

Don’t not give statements always ask for your lawyer and always record. The best way to shut a FBI agent down is to start recording them.

Better yet, tell them that if they have questions, to submit them in writing to your attorney and that HE will get back to them. NO direct communication to the FBI, only letters from your attorney, mostly saying "my client tells me that, to the best of his recollection, X happened" or "my client does not recall". You can face perjury for lying to the FBI, but I'm not sure (I'm not a lawyer) whether a statement from your lawyer that he heard you say X, is similarly actionable.

He should take the fifth due to collusion against him by the FBI, DOJ, state department and Muller’s liberal henchmen!!!

Which is his Constitutional right as a U.S. citizen but will make for terrible TV.

...their goal is not mere information-gathering or fact-finding or “clearing a few things up.” Their goal is the hunt...

Forget the hunt. Their immediate goal is prosecution. Nothing less

...and the person(s) arrested or shot may not necessarily be the ones you think need it.

Guess what law enforcement officers do when they get in trouble? They remain silent and lawyer up.

This is absolutely correct, but isn’t it a shame. I’m 76 ... years ago, we trusted them. This latest scandal sort of puts the cherry on the top of the crap sundae they’ve been building since the 80’s. The left poisons everything it touches. When I saw the Patriot’s Act happen, I said, well we need this, unless the next President is a liberal, then it is a weapon. Boy, I got one right!

YES. That would be hearsay.

Just like when the judge rules against your request to have another cop who was present and heard everything (i.e. the cop in questions partner), say anything that will defend you in any way.

some of the best advice I have ever received.

had to watch it twice. one time with a critical eye and a second time to let it sink in and solidify.
