How do you imagine that conversation went?

Trump: I'm getting a lot of heat over this Russia thing. I even fired Comey for it and admitted it on TV.

Mueller: Ok.

Trump: So I'm gonna get Rosenstein to hire you as special counsel.

Mueller: I see.

Trump: Make sure you don't find anything.

Mueller: That's not how it works.

Trump: I'll give you a free membership to Mar a Lago.

Mueller: Goodbye Mr. President.

Trump: Great! See you in Florida!
