(CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors have responded to the latest proposal from President Donald Trump's legal team regarding a possible interview with the President, a source familiar with the matter said Tuesday. The discussions for a possible presidential interview are continuing and focus more on an emphasis on written questions for the President, according to the source. The response was received on Friday, three-and-a-half weeks after the President's lawyers submitted their last offer. Trump's team hasn't responded to the latest Mueller proposal. The news of the Mueller team's response comes the same day as excerpts from political reporter Bob Woodward's latest book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," became public. In the book, Woodward describes a mock interview Trump did with his legal team, in which they hoped to prove to the President that he shouldn't sit down with Mueller's team for an interview. Trump's lawyer at the time, John Dowd, viewed the interview as a disaster. According to Woodward, Trump seemed surprised by Dowd's reaction and asked, "You think I was struggling?" The Trump legal team's position has been that any sit-down interview has to be limited to matters before Trump became President, and for questions related to possible obstruction and other post-inauguration matters to be done in writing. While Trump's lawyers have been against an interview, and the President has sounded less agreeable to talking lately, neither side has been willing to end the discussion. In mid-August, the President called Mueller "highly conflicted" and said "let him write his report." Should the President refuse, Mueller could seek a subpoena to compel him to talk. That's an effort that could lead to a Supreme Court challenge by the White House. The Trump legal team view is that Mueller would be less likely to succeed in subpoenaing over issues of obstruction given executive privilege issues, for example, when it comes to the President's discussions with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about the firing of Comey, according to another source.
从台湾马英九政府窃听王金平、柯建明的大戏来看，我估计故事是这样的：奥巴马、FBI、CIA早有通俄门的证据，可是这个证据是非法获得的，或者说没有法律授权。这个证据在法庭上，不仅绝对不会被法官采用，而且会让自己陷入法律纠纷，甚至蹲大狱。。沙盘推演参见关键词：马王政争。 因此穆勒的作用是，攥着底牌，从外围一步一步往里挖，从竞选总部内部获得人证。 目前看还算成功。 川普这边呢，从自信满满到越来越害怕。。可啥也不能干，只能不断的把戏搞大，把场面搞乱，把粉丝用利益和嗓门捆紧。 搞共产党那套，没有川普就没有美国再次伟大的把戏。
