    Sorry, I completely disagree. I'm not sure if he is trying to "rehabilitate" himself. Those who are avid Trump supporters are never going to change their point of view and others would probably back a career FBI official over a serial liar. I imagine he is more than capable of testifying.

    He is entitled to undertake activities as a free citizen. What's the use? Like the "Art of the Deal" and the other books Donald has put his name on - money. Is Donald;s clan the only ones are allowed to gain money from activities? At least in his case he tends to be speaking the truth - normally conversations would be rather dull but at the moment we're on to the President refuting pee tapes since he'd of course not pay for prostitutes.

    To stop refuting what is happening is to allow it to become "normal".

    Point taken, but we don't and can't rely on Comey to continue 'refuting the abnormal'. See the rest of the article, by the way, on why Comey has this reputation and what he did wrong in 2016 professionally.

    Today in remarkably unhelpful Trump quotes:

    "Mr President, how much of your legal work was handled by Michael Cohen?"

    Well, as a percentage of my overall legal work, a tiny, tiny little fraction!
    So, no privilege claim on Cohen's seized documents.

    But Michael would represent me and represent me on some things... He represents me, like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me and uh, from what I see he did absolutely nothing wrong.
    So was Cohen authorized on your behalf to make representations or not? If he was, why did you let him set up an invalid contract? And, as always, lie inconsistently about it?

    And you look at the corruption at the top of the FBI. It's a disgrace. And our Justice Department, which I try and stay away from, but at some point I won't.
    Oh dear.

    Fox & Friends is friendly territory.
    Trump's meltdown, without really any questions directed at him demonstrates why you never consider letting Mueller have a "chat" with him.
    On the upside, the interview may be used to buttress a defence of diminished capacity or dementia.

    I think he has a disconnect in his brain, where when he's talking to "friends" he forgets that TV cameras are rolling, and everyone, not just his core audience, can hear his incoherent lies. An interview with Mueller would be a little more constrained (still full of lies, but what can you do ), as he would see the other side of the conversation as an enemy. We will see when he gets deposed in the Daniels civil case.

    Are you still trying to operate based on what Trump says? To the PRESS? Trump certainly doesn't....

    Well, the prosecutors seem to work with his statements regardless of how he treats them. Isn't that what matters in the end regarding the proceedings about/against him?
