Alan Dershowitz: Robert Mueller 'gearing up' to subpoena Trump

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz suspects special counsel Robert Mueller's team of federal prosecutors is preparing to subpoena President Trump.
"I do. I think they’re gearing up for what will be a difficult legal battle," Dershowitz, a fierce critic of Mueller's federal Russia investigation, said during an interview Tuesday with CNN.
Dershowitz's comments follow a CNN report Monday in which Rudy Giuliani, Trump's lead personal attorney, said he hasn't heard from Mueller's office in nearly three weeks as the two sides negotiate terms for a possible presidential voluntary interview as part of the ongoing Russia probe.
Dershowitz was asked Tuesday whether the radio silence could indicate Mueller's team may be considering another means of obtaining Trump's testimony.
"I suspect they have come to the same conclusion I came to several weeks ago that the tactic of the Trump team — I have no inside information on this — but the tactic of the Trump team is to make the Mueller team an offer they can’t accept so that in the end there will be no sit-down and the Trump team can say, 'Look, we made them an offer. It’s their fault. They didn’t accept it,'" Dershowitz said.
"I suspect that Mueller is onto this tactic and is now looking forward to filing some kind of a legal action, compelling the president to appear in front of a grand jury," he continued. "You can’t compel the president to sit down with the special counsel, but you can compel him to come in front of a grand jury."
Dershowitz added Trump's outside legal counsel would contest any such move and that "ultimately" the courts would decide whether the president will have to testify.

an alternative theory is that he is just going to produce the report without talking to Trump.

did you ever answer about your occultist satanic avi? I asked if you were a satanist and IIRC: you said, what is a satanist? Correct?

Whatever happens Trump should make sure it plays out well before 2020.

Do grad juries hear anything but evidence about a crime - and decide if the evidence warrants an indictment?
so - are we finally going to find out what crime they are accusing Trump of committing?
and if it is about someone else committing a crime, don't they have to show that the POTUS is the only source of that info in order for him to be compelled to testify? And that the info they are seeking is vital to the decision on indictment?
I have been anxiously awaiting for some crime to be attached to the reason for this witch hunt.

someone who uses this pic as an avi. or are you an occultist? a Luciferian? a Laveyan?

If Mueller tries to subpoena over campaign finance issues, SMH. You would think there would have to be something specific to the original mandate to even attempt to subpoena the POTUS.

It will be obstruction of justice for firing a now shamed AG Comey (In which RR suggested he fire.) And collusion because his son was set up with Natasha for a failed meeting. As well as, paying off people before a campaign with his own money because he is a billionaire that has been with a crap ton of women. Oh and charges for Trump asking Russia to find HRC's 33,000 emails.

None of those are crimes.
Hopefully a judge scrutinizes this - it’s completely unwarranted without serious evidence of a crime.

Trump will start releasing all those protected documents that the swamp hasn't destroyed yet.
It's amazing that nobody with any substance gets indicted even though federal felonies are well documented.

With Satan hating and fearing Trump, I know I am on the right side

quote:Trump waived his White House counsel's "attorney-client privilege" so he could testify for 30 hours to Meuller's team, so Trump could prove he had nothing to hide without having to testify.
Robert Mueller 'gearing up' to subpoena Trump
Because of that, IF Trump does in fact do an interview with Meuller, Trump's testimony has to match the 30 hours of the white house counselor's or somebody is going to be charged with lying.

Who enforces a subpoena on a sitting president?

This is the logo for the satanic temple, of which I am a proud supporter.
quote:
The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense and justice, and be directed by the human conscience to undertake noble pursuits guided by the individual will. Politically aware, Civic-minded Satanists and allies in The Satanic Temple have publicly opposed The Westboro Baptist Church, advocated on behalf of children in public school to abolish corporal punishment, applied for equal representation where religious monuments are placed on public property, provided religious exemption and legal protection against laws that unscientifically restrict women's reproductive autonomy, exposed fraudulent harmful pseudo-scientific practitioners and claims in mental health care, and applied to hold clubs along side other religious after school clubs in schools besieged by proselytizing organizations.
HAIL SATAN.

Trump granted that access to specifically preclude the need for him to testify at all. The WH Counsel is aware of all actions of Trump and represented the presidents motive for firing Comey.
It’s an uphill battle for Meuller to justify it. He has to show evidence of a crime, AND why the WH counsels interview isn’t sufficient.

you can't worship satan because SFP says satan is not real.

And Trump is gearing up to tell Ole Bob to suck his nuts.
