Trump never intended to be deposed by Mueller. Because he can't stop lying. From beginning to end, Trump has lied about his affairs with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal and the hush money payments made to them. And Trump has had several lickspittles lie for him about all of it, too. Trump has changed his story so many times that when Trump and you parroting rubes point to Cohen as a liar, you actually risk creating a vortex of irony which could end the Universe.Naming Trump as a co-conspirator in the Cohen case was absolutely the stupidest thing the DOJ could have done. All that did was make it clear they're after him even if they have to fabricate phony charges against him.
Now Trump can point out it was a political stunt and Mueller's team will try to trap Trump with perjury using Cohen's statements to his team.
Pretty stupid, Mueller. You and your band of Democrat sycophants will now be forced to produce a document and present it to Rosenstein in the Mid-Term election proving you're politically motivated or wait until after the Mid-Terms.
Either way you blew it, Mueller. You will never get Trump on perjury charges and if you had anything on Russian collusion it would've been leaked just like you leaked the McGahn interview.
A "perjury trap", contrary to what Giulian says (and he knows better), is when a prosecutor already knows the facts and asks the perpetrator a question which he is most likely to answer with a lie.
For instance, the current nominee to the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh crafted perjury traps for Bill Clinton. One example, “If Monica Lewinsky says that you inserted a cigar into her vagina while you were in the Oval Office area, would she be lying?” Another example, “If Monica Lewinsky says that you masturbated into a trashcan in your secretary’s office, would she be lying?”
They already knew the truth, and had the evidence to back it up, before they even asked the questions. And Kavanaugh phrased the questions in such a salacious manner to provoke Clinton into a denial.
A perjury trap is designed to corner a liar. They are not meant to corner a truth teller. They are not He Said vs He Said bullshit, as Giuliani so disingenuously implies.
This is the very same guy who now says a sitting President should not be deposed. That's why Trump wants him on the court.
So it isn't Mueller's fault Trump will refuse a deposition, dipshit. It's only the fault of one man. The Naked Emperor Donald J. Trump.
