Could be a trap. You’re not a target, so come on in and let’s have a little chat. One wrong answer to a perjury trap, abra cadabra, now he’s a target of a process crime.
Comey pulled the same dishonet "literally true" crap when he told Trump, three times, that Trump was not a target. Comey admitted under oath that what he said could be taken as misleading, because of couse the scope of the investigation would necessarily involve looking at Trump personally. There was dissent in the IC about whether or not to tell Trump the truth rather than mislad him with a literal truth, and they decided to mislead Trump.
This is another iteration of exactly the same thing.
Exactly. Let them work to find evidence of a crime. Do not hand them anything. It’s the same reason every lawyer will tell you, do not talk to police, notably if you could possibly be considered a suspect. They will record every word and then dissect every one of them and filter through a dictionary, when something is mildly disconnected you’re guilty of lying.
It is a trap, he is not a target currently, currently being the key word here. Trump should tell Saint Mulehead no thank you to an interview.
Not could be a trap — It is a definitely a trap.
