Lawyer: Priebus interviewed by Mueller investigative team

Source: ABC

A lawyer for Reince Priebus says the former White House chief of staff has been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team of investigators.

Attorney William Burck said in a statement that the interview took place Friday and that Priebus was "happy to answer all of their questions."

Priebus is one of several current and former White House aides expected to be interviewed by Mueller's team in the coming weeks as it investigates potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Priebus did not answer his cell phone Friday evening. His voicemail box was full.

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.

Keep grinding Mr. Mueller. Our nation's survival is depending upon you.

After learning that Priebus was interviewed by Mueller’s team today it’s now clear why Trump invited him to eat lunch with him last week.

2. Don't purger yourself.

It's really a no-brainer. I'm sure his lawyer has at least half a brain.

If Mueller's been working his way in from the outter edges and he's now up to dotard's former chief of staff, things are moving along and dotard must be feeling the heat bigly.

He's truly a cornered rat. It's getting late and past time for the pukes to pick a side in this shit storm. They best leave their tax cut behind and get a seat on a lifeboat.

I don't see him volunteering anything, or doing anything than answering with as little info as possible. He seems like a weak person, who tows the company line and does as he's told. The establishment Repubs think Trumps batsh*t crazy, but that doesn't mean they want yet another Republican prez impeached.

that we haven't discussed or asked you about?"

His lawyer had to advise him of Rule No. 1: Tell the truth. Prison sucks and you "have a wife and a family and a dog and a cat."

If dotard was my boss and I'd drop him like a bad habit.

He's under no obligation to offer info not specifically asked for. And it's impossible to prove he knew something, or that he should have thought of it at that time. No, he has to be specifically asked something. I'm guessing he'll respond fairly honestly, with a minimum of info. "I'm no snitch! But I had ta answer the question, Ma! I had ta!"
