Do you honestly think those dimwits are going to be smart enough to edit out anything incriminating? This is Trump we’re talking about. The easiest way to edit out anything Trump says is to just cut Trump out of the interview entirely and replace him with a cardboard cutout.
And him not doing the debates is one of those situations where his personal goals just happen to line up with legitimate campaign advice. The man is up 40+ points in the polls, and showing no signs of slowing down. Showing up to the debates would do exactly nothing for him except make him an even bigger target than he already is, along with the legal jeopardy of confessing to crimes live on stage. Any campaign advisor worth a damn would advise him to avoid the debates like the plague even if he was squeaky clean. There’s no reason to put yourself at risk of being caught up in a gaffe or some kind of “gotcha” moment when you already have an insurmountable lead.
