But Rudy knows it must APPEAR as if donnie wants to testify. I don't believe for one minute he wants to sit before Mueller under oath. Just another scam to fool his slack jawed supporters. He'll never go before Mueller without a subpoena.

How could you possibly make him look like he wants to testify and fight the interview.. fight a subpoena at the same time? they are almost mutually exclusive

starting now. With out without a subpoena. "What's he hiding"? I don't think this should be topic #1 for the midterms but it must be part of the narrative.

a day when the subpoena arrives. What will send him over the edge is that he will lose complete control of the narrative and the news cycle. It will be as glorious a moment as impeachment itself.

stuff excuse.. every Dem should bring up all the days he spends on the golf course

And they will fight it all the way to the SCOTUS. If Kavanaugh is seated before that happens, it will go in their favor and then they can declare a victory lap and likely pursue shutting down the investigation after the election (Nunes was already caught blabbing this strategy). Even if the House Impeaches trump, there is no way the Senate will get 67 votes to convict unless Dems also pick up seats there, and that is not a likely scenario.

Would be quite an obstacle. There would have to be a negative affect if everyone sees and hears him fighting an interview or a subpoena when 70% of the people think he should testify

even some of them think he should testify. This really could have an impact, I hope. Like they adore him - but even with that - think - Hey, if you didn't do anything, like you say, have the balls to testify
