You might want to save that forgiveness for Michael Cohen he's going to be needing some very soon.

Wonder if DJT is regretting bringing in Rudy after he confirmed he not only knew about the payoff to silence the Storm, he paid Cohen back. I swear Donald must have the worst case of foot in mouth in history. The untruths that have come out of his mouth are in the thousands now, I think I saw one of the Washington papers stating it's now over 3000, but DJT likes things to be the biggest, the largest, the best; only makes sense he'd end up being the biggest liar ever elected.

Rudy wasn't up to speed yet
Unfortunately Mueller is

I still can't believe DJT hasn't sent Rudy G packing after all his interviews, because if anything; he is making it worse for the Trumpster.

Remember Trump may not be tried in a court of law, but impeached in Congress where politics and confusion rule.
However Ken Starrs office had an opinion that contrary to what Rudy thinks that a president could be indicted.
"What was the Starr office’s stance?
In laying out his case, Mr. Rotunda played down arguments that permitting a president to be indicted would cripple the executive branch. Instead, he placed greater emphasis on immunity issues that the Nixon — and, later, Clinton — legal teams dismissed.

Among them, he noted that the Constitution’s speech-or-debate clause explicitly grants limited immunity to lawmakers for certain actions. “If the framers of our Constitution wanted to create a special immunity for the president,” he argued, “they could have written the relevant clause.”

He also wrote that the 25th Amendment, which allows for temporary replacement of a president who has become unable to carry out the duties of the office, created a mechanism that would keep the executive branch from becoming incapacitated if the president was on trial.

And he noted that if indictments had to wait until a president’s term was up, some crimes would become untriable — such as those where the statute of limitations had run out. That could happen for crimes that do not rise to an impeachable offense, he wrote, citing the example of a president who punches an irritating heckler.

“No one would suggest that the president should be removed from office simply because of that assault,” he wrote. “Yet the president has no right to assault hecklers. If there is no recourse against the president, if he cannot be prosecuted for violating the criminal laws, he will be above the law.”
