Given all the doubts about the integrity of this investigation, POTUS should refuse on that basis alone.
I can pretty much guarantee you that the guy who posted this Twitter message never had any interest in sitting down for an interview of any kind with any law enforcement official:
To say it the way the lawyers have, it is insulting. But may be correct that no real crime has been uncovered except among democrats who have a sick hatred of President Trump.
It is time for this investigation to be shut down and a new counsel to be appointed to investigate the management and these investigators.
Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy at National Review says the same thing. Oh, and also the small matter of the courtesy of naming the specific crime they're investigating.
His lawyers are correct. In fact the threshold for a Special Council has not been met.
“”” Oh, and also the small matter of the courtesy of naming the specific crime they’re investigating. “”””””””””
It is illegal for Republicans to talk to Russians. I thought you knew that.
Trump's attorneys would like Muellers prosecutors to show that only the President can give them the information they require.
I believe this is a direct reference to illicit FISA surveillance against members of the Trump campaign. Trump's lawyers are giving a big hint here that they know exactly what Mueller got from that FISA surveillance.
They're effectively boxing Mueller in here.
Why do lawyers make better lab animals than rats ??????
The Mueller team is an open-ended, bottomless-pit-funded, Democrat-operative-packed, extension-and-expansion of the the Pee-Pee-Dossier Oppo Research efforts for the Democrats in 2020 if impeachment does not occur in 2019 (with the false narrative of a Democrat tidal wave to take over the House in 2018).
Never help your enemies hurt you.
DO NOT TALK TO HIM
Do you know why lawyers always wear a tie?
And Devin Nunes has effectively castrated the entire witch hunt...#releasethememo
This is absolutely correct.
Just because the opposing candidate and her unidicted co-conspirators concoct a false meme to try to overthrow the winner of an election doesn’t mean they get to go on a fishing expedition with the President of the United States.
Letting Mueller try to diminish the President by treating him the way he treats his usual hapless victims in some cheap entrapment play is not something anyone should let happen.

Since this entire investigation is a political witch hunt thought up by the DNC, and since his initial purpose of trying to find evidence of Trump’s espionage is now dead for lack of evidence, I would tell Mueller...”Go scratch your ass...
What about this idea:
Mueller was charged with investigating Russian interference, obstruction, money laundering, etc.
Why not ask Mueller for a proffer, that is, a confidential doc that indicates the strength of any underlying charge?
If there is no serious underlying complaint, why subject Trump to prosecution from a mis-statement?
Otherwise Mueller is just fishing, hoping to get Trump to slip up.
In any case, I would have a pre-interview of submitted written questions first that cover the scope of any possible in-person questioning.
