I REMEMBER A LOT OF PEOPLE CONFIDENTLY TELLING ME THAT TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS DOING: How Trump Dodged A Special Counsel Interview — And A Subpoena Fight. “The president’s legal team asked, ‘What evidence have you obtained that justifies you interviewing the president?’ according the person, who added that Mueller’s office was ‘never able to articulate a compelling case. They never gave up asking, but they had no good answer for that question.’”

That’s because they had nothing, and knew they had nothing, and Trump’s lawyers knew they had nothing, and knew that they knew that they had nothing. And stuck to their guns.
