What is stopping Trump from just lying to Mueller and saying 'sorry I can't recall what happened that day', or 'I don't remember saying that'. Like Jeff Sessions did when he was testifying to the Senate. How can you prove that someone is lying about not remembering?

You usually can't. I really doubt Trump has the discipline to just say that instead of clumsily trying to defend himself, though.

He is like Jack Nicholson's character in "A Few Good Men". He just dies to brag to Mueller how he colluded with Russia and beat that "bitch" Hillary when nobody gave him a chance.

I believe the threshold for lying to federal investigators is pretty low. If Trump says 'I can't remember' in response to specific questions, and they have evidence (emails, testimony, etc) that he repeatedly recalled those answers at other times, they can probably get him Martha Stewart style.

There's something really amusing in the idea that no matter the context, no matter his position, no matter how it would look, when Trump is cornered his chief instinct is to try and sue someone.

It's just a facet of who he is. If you look at any part of Trump's life - big or small, recent or distant past - what you will find is a man trying to abuse the system to his personal advantage.

Well sure. And I'll further acknowledge the second tool in his box: he also fires people.

He tried to fire mueller, and that didn't work. Now he's gonna try and sue mueller!

Wait, he realizes firing Mueller would cause backlash but not prosecuting him for obvious political reasons?

Did you see this? Rush Limbaugh: Maybe the liberal “deep state” fabricated Iraq War WMD evidence to embarrass Bush

Donald Trump's presidency is a liberal plot to destroy the Republican Party from within.

You write that like you think conspiracy theorists, cultists, and Republicans (Trumpers are all three) place any value on reason, logic, or evidence.

Evidence was certainly fabricated, but more likely by Iraqi exiles. If the Bush administration was going to make it up, they'd have actually 'found' something.

Toxic filth like Limbaugh and Kim Jong Trump aren't the root of the problem, they're just symptoms. (Of course, like with any disease, the symptoms can kill you.) The core of the problem is people willing to enable them, either by supporting or consuming their vileness. Our fellow citizens need to become better human beings, quickly, or we will not have a country worth squabbling over.
