John Dowd, Trump’s Lead Personal Attorney Is A No-Go On Trump Appearing Before Special Counsel Robert Mueller For Questioning On The Russian Probe. It’s A Slam-Dunk Bet That Dowd Knows His Client Can’t Control His Tongue Sufficiently But Will No Doubt Engage In A Stream-Of-Conscious Line Of Trump Babble That Will Cross All Kinds Of Thresholds Of Perjury & Mendacity.
.
So, Mueller Will Issue A Subpoena To Trump To Appear Before His Prosecution Team And If Team Trump Refuses Then We Have A Constitutional Quagmire. But, To Cut To The Chase, Mueller’s Subpoena Is Open-Ended And Not “Qualified”. He Has The Power To Compel The Appearance Of Any U.S. Citizen And That Includes A Sitting President!
.
No Amount Of Chicanery By The Trump Legal Team Will Get Around This “Inconvenient” Fact! Ostensibly, Mueller Is Operating Out Of The FBI/Justice Department Orbit And Is Therefor The Top Legal Locus Of Power For This Matter. A Sitting President Is Just That . . . . . A Sitting President. He Has Taken A Solemn Oath To See That The Laws — ALL LAWS — Of The United States Are Faithfully Executed. There Is Nothing In That Oath That Says —- Unless Those Laws Bear Directly On You, Personally, Mr. President.
.
Nixon Had To Surrender The Tapes. His Executive Privilege Argument Fell By The Way Side. The Supreme Court Ruled – in 1974 – UNANIMOUSLY – (8-0) – Against Nixon. Likewise, Trump Will Have To Surrender His “Person” To The Special Prosecutor. There Is No Executive Privilege That Warrants Defying A Duly Appointed Special Prosecutor, Acting Within The Law And Engaged In A Duly Authorized Investigation. The Attorney General — (In This Case, It’s The Deputy Attorney General – Rod Rosenstein) — Could, Conceivably, Counter Mueller’s Legal Authority To Proceed Against Mueller —- BUT — Only If He Felt Mueller Was Acting Outside Of The Law. But, Mueller Is Not & Rosenstein Will So Acknowledge That And Thus He Will Not Counter Mueller But Instead Will Allow Mueller To Proceed Against The President & His Legal Team To Compel The President’s Testimony — IN PERSONA — Before The Special Prosecutor.
.
So, Mr. President, Good Luck With Your Executive Privilege Stonewalling. It Didn’t Work For Nixon – In 1974. It Ain’t Going To Work For You. Game-Set-Match, Mueller!
.
It’s Really As Simple As That!
