Trump's statement about investigating the family finances being a red line is the kind of statement that simply strengthens the "obstruction of justice" case against Trump. In fairness, NYT were a bit naughty because they were the ones who asked whether that would be a red line (which Trump confirmed), and an hour after releasing the Trump interview they released their article about Deutsche Bank sending documentation to Mueller. As to the alleged conflicts of interests Trump claims Mueller has, Shaub (until this week head of the Government Ethics) was on MSNBC yesterday saying that none of the issues raised by Trump represent a conflict of interest. What's also interesting is that through the interview Trump essentially attacked every person in charge of the Russia investigation - Comey, Mueller, Rosenstein and Sessions. Even at a time when the failed health care bill lead the news, Trump's obsession remains with the investigation. He sure looks like a man keen to cover up dirty affairs! It is honestly amazing that his lawyers allowed Trump to give the interview to the New York Times. PS: I'm new to Hubski, but certainly share your interest in this story!
Maybe. But he's also someone who is desperately jealous of his own image. So it's not about covering up dirt to avoid punishment, because I think he sees himself as entitled to do whatever he wants without consequences. It's more that people use this as a way to say bad things about him, which he absolutely cannot stand.He sure looks like a man keen to cover up dirty affairs!
