illegal immigrants trying to shut down Disneyland, which is terrible. It's the happiest place on Earth. Why would you do that? Also, I'm confused why illegal immigrants would try to shut down Disneyland. It has a wall around it and you need tickets to enter and you are thrown out if you illegally trespass. So that seems like a weird place to protest. But we'll get to all of those things. First, I want to say thank you to our sponsors over at MVMT. So, as you know, MVMT

So there's a lot going on in the Mueller investigation, but very little of it has to do with Trump-Russia collusion. Now, we were promised that Trump-Russia collusion was what this entire thing was about. It appears more and more, day-by-day. Now, this investigation has nothing to do with Trump-Russia collusion was what this entire thing was about. It appears more and more, day by day. Now, this investigation has nothing to do with Trump-Russia collusion. It has everything to do with obstruction of justice. That's what it looks like it is moving toward. So on Wednesday, there are a bevy of new stories about the Mueller investigation, and apparently the special counsel is now trying to get Trump himself in for an interview.

3:09.4

Trump would be a fool to do the interview because the minute the Trump interviews with the guy, it's a perjury trap. Every time you talk with the federal government, is it first rule, okay, just as a lawyer. And this is true, right, left center. Everybody, if the police ever asked you talk to you, the answer is, wait, let me call my lawyer. Okay, that's always the answer. If you want to be safe, your answer is wait, let me call my lawyer.

3:07.6

Not because you distrust the police or you think they're going to do something wrong, but because you're going to get caught in traps where you don't know exactly how to navigate these waters. The first word of any defense counsel when you walk into that room is don't talk here without a lawyer. And that would certainly be true for Mike Flynn. Mike Flynn talked to the FBI without a lawyer, and now he finds himself facing five years in federal prison. Do not talk to the FBI without a lawyer. This is certainly true of Trump, who has a tendency to babble on at the mouth. Well, this interview would presumably be focused on Trump's firing a former FBI director James Comey, his alleged request to Comey,

3:41.1

to let now indicted former national security adviser Flynn go, and his pressure on various

3:45.2

officials ranging from Attorney General Jeff Sessions to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe

3:49.1

with regard to the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. So according to the Washington Post,

3:53.7

Robert Mueller wants to investigate Trump, especially about the firings of Flynn and Comey.

3:57.9

Sessions and Comey have both met with the special counsel investigators already, and a source has told the post that Mueller, quote, has also expressed interest in Trump's efforts to remove sessions as attorney general or pressure him into quitting.

4:08.9

The person said the special counsel was seeking to determine whether there was a pattern of behavior by the president.

4:13.6

So here's the pattern of behavior to go back in time.

4:16.2

According to Comey, Trump asked him for a loyalty oath back in January.

4:19.4

Then in February, Trump fired Flynn because back in December, Flynn had called up the Russian

4:23.2

government and asked them to vote a certain way on a resolution at the U.N.
