Attorneys really are angling and negotiating for the best possible terms for an interview. not sure that it is practically possible for the president to refuse it. that would set off a long legal battle that he would probably lose. there is precedent for doing this. in 2004 president george w. bush sat down for an hour interview with patrick fitzgerald who was investigating the c.i.a. leak case. remember that one? bush was not put under oath and did have his private lawyer present so there is a precedent for this and they will probably work out some way for president trump to answer mueller's ...
