Scarborough, on his Morning Joe, basically taunted Trump about testifying, saying that his lawyers didn't think he was smart enough to go up against Mueller -- and slyly urging Trump to defy his lawyers.
Biden did the opposite. He, in his nice-guy reasonableness, just gave Trump a face-saving out. He said, as a lawyer, he'd advise DT not to testify because he could lie accidentally, "without even planning to be disingenuous."
Biden, WTF? You'd advise DT NOT to do the interview with Mueller. Why the heck are you giving him cover?
This is why I don't support Biden for President. He doesn't always think through the import of what he says, and his urge to always be the nice guy can lead to mistakes.

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he would advise President Trump against interviewing with special counsel Robert Mueller if he were one of his lawyers, given the likelihood of Trump making false statements to investigators.
You are in a situation where the president has some difficulty with precision, Biden told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Tuesday. One of the things I would worry about if I was his lawyer is him saying something that was just simply not true without him even planning to be disingenuous.
