MSNBC's Joy Reid: What If Trump Refuses To Be Arrested By Federal Marshals?
Real Clear Politics ^ | 9 Apr 2018 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 04/09/2018 10:00:11 AM PDT by mandaladon

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.

"Normally, a person who refuses to testify before a grand jury winds up being incarcerated for the time period of the grand jury which can be up to 18 months," Akerman said. "So, one way to enforce it is to have Donald Trump taken by the federal marshals and put into federal prison until he testifies."

"What if he refuses to open the White House door?" Reid asked, seriously. "What if he fires any Secret Service agent who would allow the federal marshals in? What if Donald Trump simply decides I don't have to follow the law? 'I refuse to be held under the law. No marshal can get into this White House and any Secret Service agent who defies me is fired.'"

Should apply all of this to our former (p)resident Obambozodumbass. What if he or his husband wouldn’t put out their limb wrists to be cuffed?

LOL. Well, then, Joy, he’ll probably suspend Congress and declare a dictatorship. One of his first acts as dictator will be to send soldiers to your house to arrest you, throw you in jail and torture you by forcing you to watch Fox News and The Apprentice over and over again.

Just imagine if Hannity had said the kenyan should be arrested on Fox. The double standard here is breathtaking.

"What if he refuses to open the White House door?" Reid asked, seriously. "What if he fires any Secret Service agent who would allow the federal marshals in? What if Donald Trump simply decides I don't have to follow the law? 'I refuse to be held under the law. No marshal can get into this White House and any Secret Service agent who defies me is fired.'" "Well, at some point he is going to have to come out of the White House," Akerman answered. "At some point, he is going to have to leave and the U.S. Marshals will be directed to take him into custody, bring him before a federal district court judge. He'll be basically told that either he goes in and he testifies or he takes the Fifth Amendment. If he takes the Fifth Amendment, there's not a problem. If he refuses to answer on the grounds that a truthful answer would tend to incriminate him he has the right to do that. If he does that, there's no contempt. If he doesn't do that, he can be directed to go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. End of story."~~~~~~~~~~~~~Liberals are going insane...

What if aliens landed outside of the White House grounds....would Trump allow them in?

What if the White House kitchen caught on fire....would they order out for weeks and weeks while the repair was taking place?

What if Joy Reid got laid off by MSNBC....would she be able to find another job, and if Fox offered her a job...would she accept?

Eventually, you just patience with the news networks because there’s no real news left to tell.

Anyone as totally delusional as her needs to be protected in a rubber room. ASAP! My lord, we didn’t realize the human mind could rot out so completely. What crazy planet is she from, anyway?

I can’t believe a former federal prosecutor entertained her absurd daydream. He’s a bigger mental case than she is.

What if real Americans were to rise up and kill her and those who share this same ideology with Joy Reid?

As long as we’re asking dumb questions.... thought I would ask one too.
They need to hear such things.

It is especially sad because the rhetoric has ratcheted up so high that it will be impossible to return to more innocent times when we trusted each other and went about our business. We may have reached the point of no return.
