The investigation into Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice has reached a critical stage, with Special Counsel Robert Mueller announcing he is now ready to interview Donald Trump himself. So, why are attorneys for “The Donald” telling him to avoid a Mueller interview at all costs??

Unless you’ve been living on the dark side of the moon, you’re aware that Donald Trump is a loud-mouthed, free-wheeling blowhard who thinks he’s the smartest man alive. Or, to put it another way, he’s Fred Flintstone in a suit. So, it should come as no surprise that the Trump legal team wants him to treat even the suggestion of a Mueller interview like the plague. The only problem is, Donald’s bloated ego simply won’t allow him to. Naturally, Robert Mueller is very aware of this and has set the bait perfectly.
Trump attorneys are about as scared as a chicken at a Colonel Sanders barbecue that the loose-lipped Trump could walk into a Mueller interview and say too much. Or, in other words, they’re afraid he might be baited to tell the truth. Naturally, they don’t want their client to incriminate himself. However, the Special Counsel wants the truth and, based on the case he has spent the past several months building against the Oval Office occupant, he’s going to get it one way or the another.
Let’s be clear: the very invitation for a sit-down Mueller interview is a carefully concocted trap. Mueller has a series of questions he wants to ask “The Donald” under oath — except, he already knows the answers to those questions. He simply wants to hear Trump’s own answers. Will he or won’t he tell the truth?
“I am looking forward to it, actually. Here is the story: There has been no collusion whatsoever. There is no obstruction whatsoever. And I am looking forward to it.” – Donald Trump

A potential Mueller interview is a Catch-22 and a lose-lose scenario for Donald Trump. If he agrees to the interview, he will back himself into a corner and be left with 2 choices: tell the truth and admit to collusion and/or obstruction of justice, which is an impeachable offense, or lie under oath and perjure himself, which is a felony.
The only other option is for Trump to follow the advice of his attorneys and not subject himself to a Mueller interview. However, the optics will appear as if he is a coward with something to hide.
Donald Trump would NEVER dare allow himself to appear as a coward — and Mueller knows it. So, the trap is set. Now, all Mueller has to do is sit back and wait for “The Donald” to walk himself directly into the quicksand.
Well it looks like Trump doesn’t have a choice. He has to testify or else look like a scared chump. Since he thinks he can talk his way out of anything that big ego of his is about to get him in some big trouble.
