Giuliani: A Trump-Mueller interview ‘looks more hopeful’

washunut said:
The above not really worthy of a response but I will try. I said perjury TRAP. That means no matter how you answer a good lawyer can conclude you lied. Really is bothersome when getting unthinking responses.

Do you think the president can be indicted? Giuliani claims not, but what do you think?

Any lawyer worth their salt, would do everything in their power to ensure Trump doesn’t set foot in front of the SC.

Unless everything Trump has ever shown us in public is a carefully crafted act to make us think he’s mental, he is gong to end up lying to the SC without a shadow of a doubt.

Will those folks that voted for him as the “law and order candidate”, are those that believe that “we are a nation of laws” gonna care if he does commit that crime?

That’s ****ing rhetorical.

And if he pleads the 5th... well it doesn’t seem like anything matter anymore so no one will care and by the way, according to his own standards, that means he’s not innocent.

Trump and FOX have convinced 30% of the country that it is a bogus investigation, so, when Trump pleads the 5th to "bogus questions" it will be perfectly acceptable, since they are on a fishing expedition. Clinton people pleading the 5th, or Lois Lerner, etc. That's a different matter, and highly suspicious. When Conservatives are on a scent, pleading the 5th is abominable, but, should Trump be pressed with consequential questions, his best course of action will be to either lie or plead the 5th. They won't care either way. But, definitely not the truth, Trump can't tell the truth, that will be the end.

If the president is immune from indictment, as Giuliani says, then he can't plead the fifth because he can't incriminate himself.

I truly have not thought much about that. The remedy for a President who commits crimes should by impeachment IMO. But then again, I am not for criminalizing politics. Thought the idea of "lock her up" was crazy.

If you have not thought much about that, then how can you argue that an interview with Mueller is a "perjury trap" when such a "trap" is predicated on the belief that a President can be indicted?

It can also be the basis for impeachment. Which I find more realistic IMO. I could be wrong, but doubt Mueller would indict a sitting President.

There would be no need for an indictment. Just the threat of one, with backing evidence would be enough for a resignation, Trump looking, of course, to avoid any indictment/trial/prison, the Repubs too, then the Dems, because "we don't want our nation to have to go thru such trauma".

What is good for the goose isn't good for the gander in the land of the rule of law. They let Nixon skate and they will let Trump skate, but woe betide all the petty criminals who serve long sentences because, you know, justice being served is important to Americans.
