Somehow, we have to convince Trump that he could outsmart Mueller in an interview

That he's so much smarter than Mueller, and a completely unrestrained interview would result in Mueller declaring Trump innocent and resigning. This would make Trump overrule his lawyers and be eager for the interview.

All Mueller has to do his play good guy at first with some softballs and ass-kissing, and then shred him when he drops his guard.
