Hypothetical: Mr. X and Mr Y say Trump told them to tell Russia [View all]

"Yes, hack the election. Go forward with the Facebook smear of Hillary" (may be better example, sorry)

If Mueller interviews him, I suppose the question would be..."Did you ever talk to Mr. X and or Mr Y and tell them to go ahead with a Russian plan to infiltrate Facebook?"

Trump in interview: "No, never, I hardly know Mr X or Mr Y"

Trump in Impeachment trial: "No, never, I hardly know Mr X or Mr Y"

So bottom line, it's the difference between "whatever crime this is" (no interview strategy) and "whatever crime this is" + perjury (interview strategy)? And, perjury only if they have actual proof - like a tape of him telling him that? If no hard evidence, it would be a "he said - he said" deal, right? So if you end up being found guilty of the "whatever crime this is" - hell - what's the big deal about adding perjury?
