legal analyst: Trump so ‘boxed in’ he can’t answer any Mueller questions without admitting to a crime

“When we hear that they won’t answer questions about, for example, obstruction of justice, that is plainly because the president would be boxed in by such questions,” Kirschner said, providing as example Trump’s role in writing the misleading narrative about what transpired between the Russians, Don. Jr., and Jared Kushner in Trump Tower.

“If the president were to answer yes, well, now he has admitted potentially to obstruction of justice. If the president answers no, he has probably earned himself a false statements charge,” Kirschner continued. “The reason that the president’s defense team is not letting him answer questions about obstruction of justice is because he would be boxed in, he would incriminate himself. It has nothing to do with an exercise of any legitimate executive privilege.”

1. Yes he can answer the questions

"I am invoking my 5th amendment right against self-incrimination and refusing to answer this question"

2. Been saying it for months...

If he lies, it's perjury.

If he tells the truth, he's admitting guilt.

Catch-22
