Ari Fleischer: ‘There’s a Massive Account of Risk’ to Trump Sitting Down with Mueller, ‘Risk of Losing His Office’

‘I have to point out there is precedent’

EXCERPT:

FLEISCHER: "There’s a massive amount of risk. The risk of losing his office. The risk is they trip him up over something innocuous that he says something contradictory and they call it perjury and that goes to Congress and that goes to the Democrats in the fall and gets impeached. I don’t think he’ll be convicted unless they really have the goods on him unless he really colluded to steal Hillary’s e-mails. If it’s a simple political peril it’s enough. I have to point out there is precedent. President Clinton was subpoenaed and investigators withdrew the subpoena and he 'voluntary' cooperated and testified and we know how that ended up and same with George Bush and Cheney. Scooter Libby negotiated to sit down with them in the oval Office for a limited amount of time. Can this happen here? I think that’s what Rudy is pursuing but at the end of the day I don’t see it."
