Trump Associate Attorneys: Mueller Could Indict the President
Robert Mueller
Two attorneys representing key Donald Trump associates say they consider it possible that  special counsel Robert Mueller  could end up indicting the president for obstruction of justice  Politico is reporting.
Neither attorney claimed to have inside information about  Mueller 's plans and based their comments on their understanding of the law  according to Politico.
But the website noted many legal experts maintain  Mueller  lacks the standing to bring charges against Trump.
Still  one of the lawyers  who represents a senior Trump official  said  Mueller  could try to indict the president even if the move brings challenges from Trump's attorneys.
"It's entirely possible that  Mueller  may go that route on the theory that  as an open question  it should be for the courts to decide " the attorney said. "Even if the indictment is dismissed  it puts maximum pressure on Congress to treat this with the independence and intellectual honesty that it will never  ever get."
And one legal expert maintained  Mueller  will never indict the president.
" Mueller  will not indict Trump for obstruction of justice or for any crime. Period. Full stop. End of story. Speculations to the contrary are just fantasy.
