he may be able to talk him back into an interview with mueller. he may be able to reason with the president a little bit and that the real negotiation is in sending rudy into the mueller operation. it s sending rudy into the oval office. that would make much more sense because all of the reasons that ashley just described why the president might have hired him, they re kind of bananas. it doesn t make sense that you would hire someone who hasn t practiced real criminal law since the 80s to go in and negotiate an end to this thing just because he happened to know bob mueller from the aftermath of 9/11. that is not how criminal high stakes investigations work. but if he could come into the white house, negotiate an interview for the president so you don t have an unprecedented act of a president of the united states who swore an oath to the constitution to execute all laws declining to cooperate with an investigation, convince the president to come and sit down with bob mueller, if he

briber. he has very recently received hundreds of millions in contracts from uae, arranged by his new friend, george nader, who he just met at the trump inauguration. boy, that s a quick turn around, trump wasn t inaugurated all that long ago. you didn t know this guy before the inauguration and now he just set you up with hundreds of millions of dollars in defense contracts? how long ago did you plead guilty to that felony? why is this trump fund raiser, a deputy chair of the rnc, a guy who head lined a fundraiser for the president, why is this guy all of a sudden getting hundreds of millions of dollars from the uae, and why is the robert mueller investigation investigating money potentially flowing from the uae into president trump s political operation, and why is the mueller operation s latest cooperating witness a guy who was an adviser to the government of the uae?
