MSNBC's Joy Reid: What If Trump Refuses To Be Arrested By Federal Marshals?
Posted By Ian Schwartz
On Date April 8, 2018

Sunday on her weekend morning program, MSNBC's Joy Reid seriously discussed a situation where President Trump refused a subpoena and would have to be arrested and put in jail until he testified before a grand jury. Reid envisioned a scenario of a White House besieged by federal marshals who would wait for Trump to give the Secret Service a stand down order so he could be taken into custody.

"Let's say that Donald Trump decides he doesn't want to give an interview with Mueller, but Mueller says 'Oh, but you will.' And he's subpoenaed to [be] interview[ed] [by] Robert Mueller. And Donald Trump simply says, 'I don't recognize that subpoena.' This is a president whose behavior is different as president of the United States. He doesn't follow convention. Who would force him to comply with the subpoena ordering him to do an interview with Robert Mueller?" Reid asked.

"It would be a federal court judge," former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said.

"How would they enforce it?" she asked.

I bet her panties got all moist just reading that.

We're still waiting for the IRS and FBI and the other Alphabets to comply with requests to turn over information in regards to Hillary Clinton and the efforts to sabotage an incoming presidential administration.

So at best - Reid's masturbatory fantasy is just that, a masturbatory fantasy.

But it does illustrate the fact that our days as a united Republic are over.

I've never met or talked to that subpoena.  That doesn't seem like the type of subpoena I'd be attracted to, believe me.  I don't know anything about money for that subpeona.  Talk to Michael Cohen.

According to my amateur research no sitting President has ever been forced to testify as a target of a criminal investigation.

Doesn’t the 5th Amendment prevent any of us from being “forced to testify as a target of a criminal investigation”?

Trump has the right to remain silent and to take the 5th, but he doesn't have the ability.

If forced to show up in Mueller's office or before a grand jury, he should take the 5th and not be questioned.  He cannot tell the truth as he doesn't know what that is; it changes for him every minute.  If he takes the 5th, they either charge him with a crime or not.

I agree.  If subpoenaed to testify, I think he'd be a fool to testify.  He should definitely take the 5th Amendment IMO.

If the Marshals wouldn't slap the cuffs on the likes of Eric Holder for being in Contempt I very seriously doubt they would do it for Trump...especially with no real good reason no matter what the Liberals imagine he's done.

@Victoria33
So its the fact that he's been so open about his immorality that makes you dislike him.   If he kept it hidden like so many other Presidents and election officials then you'd be ok with it?

[240B]

I have become familiar with this type of Liberal journalism/libel. Liberals are experts at making an accusation or a declaration of fact in the form of a question.

"Is Donald Trump a pedophile?"
"Does Donald Trump have ties to far-Right Nazi groups?"

The implication in these types of questions is the idea of uncertainty. Is Trump a pedophile? We simply don't know? All of this is based on pure blue-sky conjecture with absolutely nothing to back it up. Just like the interview Reid did described in the article.

"What if President Trump is a real space alien?"
"What will happen if he denies he is a space alien?"

Liberals are immature lunatics as proven here. I can't believe that the other members of the panel allowed themselves to be made into fools by participating in this juvenile nonsense.

What if this? And then what if that? And then what if....
Pure bullshit. All of it.

@driftdriver

I don't dislike him; I think he has a personality disorder and doesn't know what is true and what isn't. This is about Mueller, not some woman thing, however if it was about a woman, he shouldn't answer questions about that, either.

Yes, but that is irrelevant.  The only thing that matters is establishing the narrative so as to shape the acceptance in the minds of the emoting public, what the Oligarchy and the Left intend to do.

We have already seen the success the media arm of the Left has wrought in destroying people and candidates with such tactics.  And the zeitgeist of shaping what the public is permitted to see, read and hear is already underway with the full assistance and cooperation of the digital and social media giants in concert with the Leftists in government that would make Mussolini proud.

@Victoria33
Don't we all of disorders of some type or another.  For example I get extremely stressed out talking about politics and dealing with people who don't offer any solutions.  It makes me rude at times.

How is this about Mueller?   Its about Trump, everything is about Trump.  Either its his fault or its gonna be.  because, ya know, he has committed sins and stuff

Amazing that Donald Trump was able to make billions of dollars – twice in his life, run a huge corporation with worldwide holdings and 500 entities AND, as a political novice, win the presidency.

Not bad for a crazy dude.

It helps when you have so many people willing to ignore the obvious and sacrifice their principals to help someone like Trump get elected.

@driftdiver I was merely responding to the "Pure unadulterated bullshite" of the previous post that really had nothing to do with the topic.

I guess you think it should be 100% positive Donny all the time.

However a couple posts above I did make a relevant to the topic post if you'd like to reference that one instead.

Couldn't the same be said for people who voted Bush II into office?

While Joy is busy with all the "what ifs," maybe she should imagine a scenario where men in white coats come to take her away.
