But, that said, I would point out the existence of something they call a "perjury trap."   If Trump ever actually goes for a deposition under oath with Mueller, Mueller will ask him questions that he, Mueller, already knows the answer to, and if Trump, who has a very hard time telling the truth all the time, tells a lie, Mueller will have him on a perjury charge.   It's what happened to Clinton.  

So if I were Trump, I wouldn't go near Mueller.   And I would justify my avoidance by saying, "If Mueller can give me some justification for continuing this investigation, including some way in which my testimony would be required to wrap it up, I will come in and talk to him.  But unless he can produce some evidence of collusion or some crime on my part, he can forget it.  I'm too busy making America great again blah blah blah."

I agree.

That's what they did to Flynn. I think Trump is such a hot-head that if you put him in a room with Mueller, then he's going to feel inclined to speak up and out-of-turn. Even if his lawyers speak for him, I think he's going to try and prove himself innocent and say something stupid that's going to get himself in trouble.
