Mueller to Interview Trump

[JGG]

It does happen, in fact it happens to all of us. It just doesn’t happen as much as the Trump obscessed press presents it.

There is not ONE this this man does that the media will not find fault with. Want proof!

https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost...ed-for-not-fully-singing-national-anthem/amp/

Now he’s graded on his singing. And they couldn’t even hear him.

Since we agree that Trump will say something to the press one day, only to change his mind later, why is it unfair to speculate what happens if he changes his mind on this?

Finally.

Mueller appears to be wrapping up his case against Trump and will interview him soon.

Trump is in trouble. The target gets interviewed last, and if Mueller does have anything on Trump, it's almost certain that Trump will unwittingly lie about it.

Where does the article say Mueller will be face to face with Trump, I didn't catch that?

It appears for now, there are possible negotiations going on, but nothing settled.

Straw-man, I was laughing at your absurdity of that statement. Your favoritism towards the right by turning a blind eye, makes me doubt of your position.

My position on what? On politics? Yeah, I'm some double-agent.

"Hello, leftists, come in. This is Rion. I'm defecting from the right-wing. You can trust me, I have political compass results!"

That's just... what?

First of all I was referring to the goverment.

And I was referring to society. There, problem solved, unless you want to go Strawmanning...

Secondly what you are describing is essentially conspiracy territory.

Oh, you do. Goodie.

There is a reason why "reality have a liberal bias" meme is created, because the right have a keen habit of denying reality.

Yes, just those dastardly right-wingers. Next thing you know they'll be denying that there's physical differences between the sexes, or the fact that there's only two gender---oh... oh, no.

Seriously, you're living in the past if you think Right = Deny Reality and Left = Intellectual.

Stop equating Science with Truth
Science is sexist
Science is racist

No, the left loves science! It is reality! It doesn't infect it, like any other ideology, and cause massive problems. Nooo sir.

You seem to be stuck living in the 90's.

There isn't some great dark origination running behind the since here. Heaven forbid that they exercise their freedom.

Again, you're stuck in the 90's. There's no cabal or whatever nonsense you want to peddle, it's simply the fact that the hard left has become incredibly authoritarian, and actively polices places where they have power.

Here's a paper on the social science issue in regards to it: https://heterodoxacademy.org/2015/09/14/bbs-paper-on-lack-of-political-diversity/

The next thing you may be saying: What about the lawsuit regarding google?
Yes I know about the lawsuit about google, but that's a far from saying that "the evil dark left oginzatoin is controlling mostly everything" (paraphrase and exaggerated mind you).

Again, there's no dark organization, but if you want to sit around and pretend every big bad thing is coming from the right, go ahead. Why, those darn right-wingers deny reality so much they don't even realize that you can cast lightning magic!

I don't expect Trump to participate in live questioning. If he does, he's even dumber than a lot of his detractors make him out to be. I expect he will offer to respond to written questions - in writing.

It's all explained really well here:
Mueller lays a trap

What happens if you change your mind on something is it fair for me to teleport on what might happen?

This is why the press has a lower rating than the President does.

I I could ask. Read the whole of my post and not just the words you agree with.

That link was fun.

There are two reasons why [a lawyer should not let their client, Donald Trump be interviewed by an investigator], in this context, allowing such an interview is a particularly bad idea. First, the client is Donald Trump.

Okay. I agree with that.

Second, the prosecution is Robert Mueller and his team of Trump-hating partisans.

I asked this in another thread and never got a reply. Who cares if they're hyper-partisan? They're the prosecution.

Their purpose in interviewing Trump won’t just be to gather the facts needed to wrap up their investigation. In my view, it will also be to induce Trump to make statements the prosecution can use to build a case that the president has lied to the prosecution.

One of three things will happen:

Trump will lie because he has something to lie about.
Trump won't lie, and they will find there is nothing in his testimony to investigate.
Trump won't lie, and they will find there is something in his testimony to investigate.

It seems the easy way out is for Trump to not lie.

As noted, though, I believe the purpose of the interview will be more to catch Trump in something Mueller’s team can characterize as a lie than to obtain Trump’s version of the facts. Hence the need to be especially wary.

Is the investigation not taking place because we don't believe Trump and his pals are telling the truth? I think the idea behind it is to catch him in a lie.

Is it not?

Let's at least be intellectually honest:

Look at the link - where are any actual fact stated?

WASHINGTON — If Robert Mueller seeks to question President Donald Trump, could the White House successfully refuse to make him available?

Like anyone whose testimony is sought by grand jury subpoena in a criminal case, the president could cite his Fifth Amendment right not to testify against himself. Such a move, however, would carry significant political risk.

The White House has given no indication that the president would refuse to answer Mueller's questions.

But suppose he changed his mind.

The Supreme Court has never directly addressed the question about whether a president can refuse to cooperate in a criminal investigation potentially involving his own conduct. That's because no president has ever fought such a request.

and the President isn't now - so they are speaking of something that has never happened and is not happening now.

While it's unlikely Trump could successfully refuse to answer Mueller's questions if subpoenaed, how he does so would probably be negotiated. The special prosecutor might not be able to force him to appear on videotape for a deposition and might have to settle for written answers.

He isn't refusing anything! Never has, has never indicated he would. Has not ONE time invoked executive privilege nor has anyone connected to him plead the fifth to avoid answering questions.

Is it not?

If you’re reading a gossip magazine that doesn’t base any of their articles on actual facts, it’s fine

However if it’s a fact bass article that’s ridiculous.

We should base our fax on real world facts not on what could happen.

Joe Biden could become the ruler of the KKK tomorrow That could happen.

What would you say if you read an article acting like he was a member of the KKK? Well that would be ridiculous wouldn’t it?

That’s what the media is doing with Trump right now they’re being ridiculous

If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck what else do you call it other then a duck? Which the rest of your post is doing right now.

And I was referring to society. There, problem solved, unless you want to go Strawmanning...

Ah, you changing the meaning of word now? Which last I check it referring to type of government like china and the soviet union. Which I am pretty sure that is something you complain about other people doing in the past.

Btw Is this your "Man vs Society" story? You consider society to be your enemy?

Yes, just those dastardly right-wingers.

Your whataboutism is predictable, and futile. Mind I remind you the denialism regarding climate change?

Here's a paper on the social science issue in regards to it: https://heterodoxacademy.org/2015/09/14/bbs-paper-on-lack-of-political-diversity/

I did a background check on the website itself after reading main page, and from what I understand to quote a reddit user mrsamsa
"The less neutral description is that they're the conservative-focused version of Ben Stein's "Expelled", where instead of arguing that creationists are being kicked out of biology departments for their politically incorrect views, the argument is that conservatives are being kicked out of social science departments for their politically incorrect views."
Do they being kicked out for being conservatives or do they being kicked out for being wrong?
The actual research article that you linked is titled "Political diversity will improve social psychological science". That is far far far from supporting your claim that "... the hard left has become incredibly authoritarian, and actively polices places where they have power."

Again, there's no dark organization,

I thought I was clear that I was being facetious

but if you want to sit around and pretend every big bad thing is coming from the right, go ahead. Why, those darn right-wingers deny reality so much they don't even realize that you can cast lightning magic!

Wow, for guy who is "Not right" you seemed to be very upset of my criticism regarding the right.

You and I got the same stuff out of that article, for the most part. Yes, it was fun.

The money quote was: "He is notorious for imprecision with words and for shooting from the hip. He is probably uncoachable as a witness. "

Trump is

So Trump winning some things and almost winning others makes him the establishment? Rather than the fact that the authoritarian left control directly or indirectly: most forms of entertainment, the majority of news media, most of the powerful tech corporations (Google, etc)?

I am suggesting that there is no proof of it. No facts baking it up. I am suggesting the link quite plainly demonstrates an adventure is fiction.

I am suggesting that reality at this moment says otherwise. I am suggesting that there are members here on CF and many more in the media who couldn’t possibly say anything even remotely positive about our President because it flies in the face of a delusion.

I am suggesting if you want to prove something, come up with facts.

I am suggesting this type of reporting is why the media has an approval rate lower than the President.

That is what I am suggesting.

Ok, wait. He’s not Hillary. There. Finally found something. Happy, now?

Calling out your hypocritical partisanship and attempt to No True Scotsman me. I'm sorry I'm not pure enough to be considered left-wing for you. How shall I signal my virtue of being sufficiently liberal enough to remove this red badge of shame?! Shall I sign up for Antifa? Donate to the DNC, what must I do as penance?

Ah, you changing the meaning of word now? Which last I check it referring to type of government like china and the soviet union. Which I am pretty sure that is something you complain about other people doing in the past.

No, it doesn't.

The Establishment generally denotes a dominant group or elite that holds power or authority in a nation or organisation. The Establishment may be a closed social group which selects its own members or specific entrenched elite structures, either in government or in specific institutions.
...
The term was then found useful in discussing the power elites in many other countries. The English word is now used as a loanword in many other languages.

Emphasis mine. It's jargon for a group who holds the reigns of power. It can be a government, but it can also be the rich, powerful, and influential as well.

Btw Is this your "Man vs Society" story? You consider society to be your enemy?

No. Are you... perhaps taking medication for an infection or something? How did you get something bizarre out of my post.

Your whataboutism is predictable, and futile. Mind I remind you the denialism regarding climate change?

"Your whataboutism is futile... oh, yeah, what about this?!"

Um... okay, I'll assume that you're actually wanting to discuss it then.

What about it? Did I defend it? Did I say that the Right was right, and good, and Vulcan-like? No, I said your delusion that the Left is some purely logical, good guy while the Right was all about feels is outdated, and provided evidence of this.

I though I was clear that I was being facetious

"Oh, I'm being facetious, but let me repeat it multiple times. Again, totally kidding guy! Haha, ain't I funny?"

Wow, for guy who is "Not right" you seemed to be very upset of my criticism regarding the right.

No, I'm annoyed with the complete and total cranium-rectal inversion that people have to be suffering from to believe that being critical of progressive ideology means that I'm a total right-winger. Maybe I'm not being clear enough, so let me try to be a little more basic.

I am a classical liberal. I am not an authoritarian, I do not support the Progressive Left. I'm also very individualist. At the moment, it is the Progressives who are pushing for things like Hate Speech Laws, deplatforming, and blacklisting. It is so bad that I've repeatedly seen people associate freedom of speech with the right-wing. When that Canadian TA was talking to Dave Rubin, she actually opined that maybe the right-wing was her only option to have the freedom to express her own opinions. I am critical of those who are doing this, who want to subvert freedom for feelings, and who want to criminalize thought.

And how do you, among others, reply? Calling me a right-winger, acting like I'm evil for criticizing the ones who I see as the most serious threat to our society, and a traitor because I don't harp on Trump for stupid crap all of the time. Why should I feign outrage when he posts stupid crap on twitter? He was doing that before the election, and that was one of the many reasons I didn't vote for him. To tell the truth, I don't pay attention to the man outside of the legislation and executive orders.

I've stated it before, but let me say it again in case you missed it: I consider both parties as walking corpses. I don't think either will survive for too much longer; at least that's my hope. What I would love to have happen is for the Progressives to completely and utterly consume themselves in their rabid anger, and for an actually liberal party to rise from the Democrats ashes.

You know what, screw it. It's wrong to call out the side one falls on, and to try and clean your house and tell others knock off this purity test nonsense? Fine, I'll never refer to myself as left-leaning again.

I'll make it simple for everyone: from now on, I'm just a liberal. I'm not left-wing, because they're not liberal. I'm not right-wing, because they're not liberal. And I will call out the authoritarian jack-n-apes on both sides of the aisle whenever and however I see fit.

You want to harp about how "dem dere conserativas" don't believe in global warming? Cool, you do you. I'll be pointing out about how the progressives are trying to undermine the concept that science has anything to do with truth or facts, and if it is your personal lived experience, science teachers cannot deny that the witch doctor back home can go full on Sith Lord and shoot lighting at people.

The President eliminates all the Obama regulations on businesses and the stock market does the exact opposite of what the experts said.

Unemployment is at a 17 year low

Multiple companies are crediting the Presidents tax plan for their decision to give bonuses and expand their businesses

Illegal boarder crossing is down 70+%

Whatcha gotta say about that?
