WASHINGTONPresident Donald Trumps lawyers are seeking to negotiate a deal with special counsel Robert Mueller that uses an interview with the president as leverage to spur a conclusion to the Russia investigation, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
The presidents legal team is considering telling Mr. Mueller that Mr. Trump would agree to a sit-down interview based on multiple considerations, including that the special counsel commit to a date for concluding at least the Trump-related portion of the investigation. One idea is to suggest a deadline of 60 days from the date of the interview, the person said.
Another consideration for the legal team is reaching an agreement with Mr. Mueller on the scope of his questioning of the president, which they expect to focus largely on his decision to fire former national security adviser Mike Flynn and former FBI director James Comey, according to people familiar with the matter.

How about a separate special counsel just to go after them, including an investigation into Mueller’s complicity in Uranium One.

If it keeps the Dems in a fool’s paradise, dreaming of their big win in November, it’s serving its purpose. The massive head-exploding epidemic that will follow November will be well worth the wait.

How about a deadline to charge Hillary, Comey, Strozk, et al in the bigger scam? Turn the tables! Soon!
Partner, let us add Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Clapper, Brennan, Valerie Jarrett, and of course, the America Hating Obama who never worked an hour should not be left off the list.
Meuller who is a former Marine should know by now that he is dealing with a Street Fighter in President Trump the likes of which we have never seen before.
The Fake News MSM does not even know who they are dealing with right now.
