It's possible, Yaya

That doesn't answer my question. Why are you avoiding answering how you know?

[SmarterthanYou]

No

how would you know? do you know Art 1, sec 6? i'm thinking you don't.

[SmarterthanYou]

I think private refers to non-professional crimes as POTUS

ANY crime committed by an acting president, private or public, must be handled by impeachment.

In what way does the fact that it’s a civil case make the analysis different visa-vi a court issued subpoena?

Mueller can't force The president to a meeting. Look how Holder refused to go before congress and the contempt of congress did nothing

[ptif219]

it's all a grey area.
But basically the stress and time to defend a criminal case would be detrimental to the POTUS ability to perform his duties. Facing jail concentrates the mind elsewhere.

A civil case still allows resolution, in that the penalties are not so drastic.
Least it how I read it all

DOJ rules do not allow an indictment of a president

[ptif219]

That makes no difference with regards to a subpoena issued by the Court.

It did nothing to Holder when Congress subpoenaed him

[Jarod]

ANY crime committed by an acting president, private or public, must be handled by impeachment.

That’s the current interpretation by the Supreme Court.

A congressional subpoena is very different, legally speaking than a judicial subpoena. Congress is responsible for enforcing their subpoena’s and the judicial branch is responsible for enforcing theirs and the rules are totally different!

True, so?

[Jarod]

If my brother Jim speeds on the interstate and the police neglect to pull him over, can they not pull me over for speeding the next day?

[dukkha]

DOJ rules do not allow an indictment of a president

yes I know the memo.

[SmarterthanYou]

That’s the current interpretation by the Supreme Court.

let me guess, you say the supreme court is wrong???????

[christiefan915]

I wonder is Rump’s attorneys have read this?
