7/8/18: Considering all of the above (see: 7/7/18), and much, much more, Horndog Rudy, the president’s lawyer, claims his client has nothing to hide.
And Trump is never going to talk to investigators because all they want to do is get him in a perjury trap!

Making the Sunday morning talk show rounds, Giuliani shows up on ABC’s This Week. Host George Stephanopoulos asks about an op-ed piece in the Washington Post, written by Bill Frist, former Republican U.S. Senate majority leader.
Frist warned:
The Senate I served in was not
devoid of partisanship, nor should it be, but my hope was that patriotism would
always take priority over party.
It is with some trepidation that
I offer thoughts on how the good people still serving in the Senate should
address a current crisis, but staying silent is no longer an option. Special
counsel Robert S. Mueller III is under assault, and that is wrong. No matter
who is in the White House, we Republicans must stand up for the sanctity of our
democracy and the rule of law.
In terms of policies, Frist says, “President Trump is a great partner at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.”
Still, he adds:
It isn’t easy to tell a
president of your own party that he is wrong. But the assault on Mueller’s
investigation does not help the president or his party. When Trump talks about
firing the special counsel or his power to pardon himself, he makes it seem as
though he has something to hide. The president must remember that only Mueller’s exoneration can lift the
cloud hanging over the White House.
…The special counsel’s
investigation is not about Trump. It is about our national security. Every
American should be rooting for Mueller’s success in determining precisely how
Russia interfered in our fundamental democratic process [emphasis added].
If you can read that and not be worried about Trump, it’s
probably because consuming too much Fox News has made you numb and dumb.
