opportunity to get the president, under oath, alone to ask questions. After the named subjects have been exhausted, Mueller might attempt to get "conversational" and ask questions in that frame. Pres. will still be under oath but would be relieved his questioning has ended blurt out all kinds of info. I am of course, speculating, but this could be a tactic on Mueller's part.
