Cobb told The New York Times that Trump was speaking hurriedly, and only meant that he is willing to meet with the special counsel, not that he will speak in front of a grand jury.

the senate is so much to hope for (and perhaps too much). But even if we get the house - we can sully his name enough, imo, to make clear just what his administration is about..............

to remember what lies he has told. I wonder if he can actually separate the delusional reality he creates from the truth.

He will try to squirm out of this.

I can almost hear him saying "I used the 5th amendment because this Russian stuff is fake news."

He will very likely insist that Mueller divulge to him "what he's got" on him.

He's that stupid.

But Mueller will have the truth and is just waiting for him to either confirm it or lie.

But I don’t believe him when he says he will talk to Mueller. I think the plan has been not to testify all along. He’s just trying to delay the hue and cry that will result. And I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

"he thinks he is smarter than everyone, including Mueller"


but he isn't. Actually he is not smarter than most of us here. But, he thinks he is. Further, "he thinks he will get away with it" (that is lying) like he has done in the past...but...he is not smarter than everyone...nope.

Not Mueller, not most of us...........but, he will not get away with it
when?..don't know....maybe soon, maybe later. But he will not get away with lying to Mueller. Not in my opinion. Mueller and his team will deal with him. How? up to them, not to me. Why? That is their job, and when the time comes, they will deal with him and his crowd... I believe that Mueller and his team, are better at dealing with Trump than Trump will be dealing with Mueller.

And thinks he can do it because he's the mostest bestest smartest man in the room, he may just find himself in a tangled web under Muellers and his seasoned team's 'work'.

Trump is not the mostest, bestest, smartest man in the room

He will find himself in that "tangled web"...and he will never get out. He will be ruined in ways he does not know. We will see, but I do believe that like others like him, that are so sure they can control everything, (like Nixon ) they will end up controlling nothing.

...he's not going to ask any questions unless he already knows the answers.

He's not looking for "information" from Trump.

He's not going to show his hand, he's not going to let Trump fully know what he knows.

He's going to ask questions, already knowing the answers, and will keep a running tally of the lies that follow.
