Mueller III, a step that may be unavoidable in the Russia investigation, he'll square off with prosecutors who have spent decades firing questions at corrupt politicians, crooked businessmen and organized crime leaders.<br /><br />But the prosecutors wouldn't be the only seasoned veterans in the room. By his own account, Trump has sat for dozens of depositions in his career as a bellicose business mogul in New York, one who routinely drew legal challenges from aggrieved competitors, contractors, customers and state attorneys general...<br /><br />...Trump may have a more difficult time. Lawyers who have grilled him in the past describe him as charming and focused, but also arrogant, glib and dishonest, characteristics that could prove troublesome if Mueller's team finds he has a clear conflict with the truth...<br /><br />...He also turned on the charm when the case went to trial in Broward County, Fla., in 2014. While reading a document on the witness stand, Trump asked the judge to borrow his glasses.<br /><br />"Can I use your glasses again, your honor? Is that possible? I hate to do this to you," Trump said.<br />When he finished testifying, the judge dismissed Trump by saying, "You're fired," the trademark line from Trump's reality TV show "The Apprentice." The jury ruled in Trump's favor.<br /><br />"People underestimate him," Beck said. "I saw grown men, attorneys, become gelatinous in front of him..."<br /><br />...It's unlikely that Mueller, a former Marine Corps officer who fought in Vietnam, will turn weak in the knees. In 2004, Mueller famously threatened to resign as FBI director if President George W. Bush reauthorized a warrantless wiretap program without making changes. Bush backed down.<br /><br />Mueller is also far more powerful than lawyers in civil cases...<br /><br />..."Mueller holds the cards here," said Alan Dershowitz, a constitutional and criminal law scholar who is an emeritus professor at Harvard Law School.<br /><br />Trump is famously loose with the facts, sometimes shading the truth or fabricating his own. Doing that in an interview with federal investigators is a potential felony, even if the president is not under oath.<br /><br />"The main risk is that he will admit to certain facts that will fill gaps for the prosecution, or he'll say things that are contradicted by other witnesses or other evidence," Dershowitz said. He has previously suggested that Trump's legal position, particularly over whether he obstructed justice, may not be as dire as the president's critics suggest...</i><br /><br />.

Just you.<br /><br />Everyone else here can accept the fact that two people can disagree on some things while agreeing on others. <br /><br />Everyone else realizes that for the last year 80%-90% of what's been said here has been about Trump and his policies; and that given how things have skewed, we can be pretty sure that people here who agree or who disagree with Trump and his policies are going to agree with those who share the same opinion 80%-90% of the time. It's no rocket science.<br /><br />.<br /><br />Only an intellectual midget or an insecure individual requires confirming support before making his positions known.<br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-51432259363151515632018-01-13T11:09:06.794-05:002018-01-13T11:09:06.794-05:00Remarkable.<a href="https://www.serenityhealth.com/product_images/brand/Sunnydaze_Decor/XCA-103238/MAIN__WB__wise-gnomes__01.jpg" rel="nofollow">Remarkable.</a>Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-72430926795347408102018-01-13T11:08:20.809-05:002018-01-13T11:08:20.809-05:00and merit is the basis of entry, not place of birt...and merit is the basis of entry, not place of birth.
