mr6666 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 What You Need To Know About A Mueller Subpoena, Trump And The Russia Imbroglio Can the Justice Department subpoena the president? Could Trump resist a subpoena? Could Trump invoke his Fifth Amendment rights? What do Trump's lawyers say? The president's advisers appear to be split on a Mueller interview. Some of them, and some outside advisers, including Roger Stone, say Trump must not talk with Mueller. Others, including one of Trump's newest lawyers, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, appear to want to keep the door open to an interview. That would enable Trump to placate the special counsel short of a subpoena and also permit the White House to continue touting its cooperation with the investigation. These two camps are now warring in the press..... Could Trump solve his problems by firing Mueller? or Rosenstein? https://www.npr.org/2018/05/02/607717946/what-you-need-to-know-about-a-mueller-subpoena-trump-and-the-russia-imbroglio Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Trump’s New Strategy for Responding to Robert Mueller The president’s message focuses on undermining the investigators and investigation, rather than insisting that no crimes were committed. :.............. The new strategy, particularly as demonstrated by Giuliani on CNN, follows three prongs. First, impugn the investigators themselves. Second, argue that the investigation was tainted from the start. Third, argue that Mueller cannot indict Trump anyway. The Cobb-Dowd strategy began with the assumption that Trump had nothing to hide. The new strategy, however, seems to take as its premise that Trump is guilty of at least something. .... https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/05/trumps-new-strategy-for-responding-to-robert-mueller/560723/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
