No problemo, Jay. See you in court.
It will be simple.
-
Mueller will order that the President be compelled to testify before the grand jury, because the law applies to the Chief Executive.
-
Trump will refuse, because he is above the law.
-
The Supreme Court will decide whether it is a partisan body of 5 Republicans and 4 Democrats, or an actual court of law.
This is why Trumpâs toady Kavanaugh canât be on the Supreme Court. He is a âget out of jail free cardâ for Trump.
If he is innocent why is he afraid?
Who is this hack lawyer? Nixon was subpoenaed to turn over his office tapes and Bill Clinton was subpoenaed to testify about Monica!
Sounds like he got bad information (again).
Iâd love for him to provide the part of the Constitution that places the president above the law.
Becuase the last two times the Supreme Court ruled on whether a president has to respond to subpoenas in both civil and criminal cases arenât really stare decisis, since they werenât heard by a court with Kavenaugh, Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch.
Thatâs largely been decided. Ref: Bush v. Gore.
Oh because the other Supreme Courts were fakeâŚI think I got it now.
Boy this guy is really late to the party. What has he been doing for a year and half? And who is paying him for being so dense?
You know what else ended in a Supreme Court battle?
Nixonâs presidency.
Sekulow:
âA subpoena for live testimony has never been tested in court as to a President of the United States, and there is a lot of language, articles, and precedents against that,â he added.
That wasnât live testimony âŚ
and Bill Clinton was subpoenaed to testify about Monica!
Yes, Ken Starr issued a subpoena. The White House threatened to challenge it in court. Starr did not want to go through that, purportedly because his âinvestigationâ had taken long enough already, so he withdrew the subpoena and entered into a negotiation for Clintonâs voluntary testimony under terms that were acceptable to Clinton (for example, Clinton was allowed to have his lawyers with him, which usually does not happen with grand-jury testimony).
Got it. Trump and all his associates lied their butts off but now that theyâve gamed the refs they will take it to the Supremes.
With all due respect to the counselor Sekulow: âPlease proceedâ
Give it a whirl. Issue a subpoena while the âmeddlingâ investigation continues. Put pressure on the alleged criminals and see what shakes loose. Maybe the traitor will be pissed off/stupid enough to respond to the subpoena and blabber his way into impeachment.
This is the first true thing Sekulow has said in how long?
What good is anything this guy, or any Trump shill, says if it is always amended after the fact. Only reliable approach to a Trump admin statement: huge lie, mostly lie by amendment, more lie than truth by amendmentâŚbegrudging admission to part truth accompanied by old lies and a new lieâŚWhere does it end? Jail, I hope.
