FULL TITLE:Joe diGenova: ‘If Mueller Issues Subpoena For an Interview With Trump We Are Headed to a Constitutional Crisis’

Former US Attorney Joe diGenova told Fox News host Laura Ingraham Tuesday evening that if Mueller issues Trump a subpoena we are headed to a Constitutional crisis.

We’re already there…

As reported earlier, Mueller warned he may subpoena President Trump.

The Washington Post reported earlier Tuesday Mueller raised the prospect of presidential subpoena in a recent meeting with Trump’s legal team.

In a tense meeting in early March with the special counsel, President Trump’s lawyers insisted he had no obligation to talk with federal investigators probing Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.

But special counsel Robert S. Mueller III responded that he had another option if Trump declined: He could issue a subpoena for the president to appear before a grand jury, according to four people familiar with the encounter.

Mueller’s warning — the first time he is known to have mentioned a possible subpoena to Trump’s legal team — spurred a sharp retort from John Dowd, then the president’s lead lawyer.

Mueller is out of control.

Mueller might want to think about issuing a subpoena. The Supreme Court just might rule that he has greatly exceeded the scope of his investigation.

Wait, what?!?! We are headed to court (as Dershowitz has been saying) where Mueller can explain why the exercise of Constitutional powers bynthe Oresodemt is somehow probable cause of a crime. He will also have to explain why this investigation was launched in the first place. The last thing Mueller wants to do is issue a subpoena because that will force him to take this all the way to the Supreme Court.

That is the way our system works.

He might not like his legacy being one of causing a Crisis and starting a civil war.

I am sure the judges that halted Trump’s orders on Travel bans, DACA and Trans in military would be impartial if it reached any of their courts.

Meh. I smell bluff. They know what would happen and even they are not that stupid - unless they make a solid case in the court of public opinion for doing it. That has not been remotely forthcoming since this whole comedy started.

I don’t see a civil war. The two sides are spread out all over the place. How would anyone know who the enemy is?

Maybe an outright overthrow of the deep state.

And by the way, what the hell is a “constitutional crisis”?

What actually is a “Constitutional Crisis”? What does that mean and what will happen as a result of having one?

No way in hell is this damn Mueller’s actions sitting well at all with many Americans! This shit dip is the water boy for the radicals who planned a great socialist tide in America. Only to see it blow up in their faces!

There is no Constitutional provision for a “Special Prosecutor.”
Muller should be dismissed.

So have these ‘swamp critters’ given a thought to what will be the response of 60 million people having their votes stolen?
Have the media thought about the results of such a course of action?

Yep.

Go ahead mueller, try to pull off your coup d ‘etat.

Oh, and he better find a country that will hide him.

And spare me the bullshit about “rule of law” and civility.

These people want to overthrow the US government, and conservatives want to kiss fed ass and play nice?

And the people of the US can’t get it through their thick skulls that there’s a reason why the socialist-democrats, and federal government all around, are furiously trying to come up with any excuse possible to disarm the population.

See the Gulag Archipelago as an example of a regime who turns on it citizens.

Which is what the progressives want. They hope that will be the final nail in the coffin of the U.S. Constitution.
