Trump has done dozens of depositions, and never gotten snagged in them. He will have a competent if dumb interview, Mueller will not press too far, and the probe will wrap up in June with no more indictments.

Big, fat, nothingburger.

When people claim that the FBI was conspiring against Trump's election, ask them one simple question: why didn't they reveal before the election that the Trump campaign was under investigation, when they did reveal that Clinton was?  Not exactly fair and balanced.

Presumably this testimony will be behind closed doors. I can easily see Trump just using "I didn't say that" as his defense if Mueller brings perjury charges against him and "That isn't me talking/fake tapes/recordings were made illegally" when confronted with evidence.

The "secret society" text that RWNJ and Ron Johnson pushed has been obtained by ABC and it's just a standalone joke https://mobile.twitter.com/MikeDelMoro/status/956336767384408069

I tremble when I think of the quality of leadership we get when all that matters is that the politicians follow the instructions of the corporate lobbyists. Politics used to attract the best and brightest among non-technical people. It now attracts mediocrities like Ron Johnson.

The thing is, we don't know what Mueller actually knows.

Is Trump aware that saying "firing Comey was just me fighting back" could be considered an admission of guilt?

To be fair it’s not a very good joke (I’m not sure I get it), but honestly that just makes it even worse that Johnson thought it was all some grand conspiracy. A confederation of dunces.

I'm pretty sure that the answer to any question of "Is Trump aware" (that doesn't involve immediate physical stimulus) is "no".

I’m not disputing the fact that Trump has been deposed in many lawsuits. I’m disputing your unsubstantiated assertion that he’s somehow a pro at it.

Just dropping this here for those interested:

Nothing-burger. Trump has moderated so much since last June, and it's clear that there's no threat to him anymore from the fast-waning Mueller probe.

Particularly since, according to the NYT story, this occurred just after the initial reports that Mueller was investigating Trump for obstruction of justice.
