Nah, that's not his point. The idea is that a prosecutor tries to trap


a witness in a lie under oath when obtaining a conviction for something else would be difficult or impossible (wiki's example was of a crime for which the statute of limitations had expired).

More likely that he thinks Trump did not commit a crime but would be manipulated into one under oath. If I'm Trump's lawyer, I'd hatch my own private extraordinary rendition plan to spirit him out of the country before I'd let him testify under oath. I can't imagine a better guarantee of a case of perjury than Trump speaking under oath.
