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.

If that coward Sessions were half a man, Mueller would be under investigation for supplying that yellowcake uranium sample to Putin’s Russia....Uranium One conspirator......
>Something happen to Drudge. Think somebody has something on him.<
Drudge is a news aggregator. Do you want him to only link to news sources that reflect a certain world view? He would soon go out of business. If you was a single pov then go to Brightbart or HuffPo.
ah yes, Jeff ‘Safe Space’ Sessions - who scurries about on ‘safe’ little projects, such as rounding up gang members - high publicity, low wave action. The definitive career clockwatcher.
If Mueller is investigating collusion and possible obstruction of collusion... what is the crime? In other words: Mueller would need to present to a grand jury evidence of a crime and then request testimony. What is the crime? What was done to obstruct the crime?
I noticed Drudge’s turn over a year ago. He has some personal stuff going on. We never cared....but it looks like the pillow talk worked. Jmho.
They are trying to provoke the President into firing Mueller, just like they did Archibald Cox. This is not a new playbook.
But.... But.... Sessions said, “Conclude.”
Don't do this Mr. President.
Nothing... which is why it will never make it to a grand jury. Mueller knows an indictment is not in the cards, so it is all for show. Convince enough people that he did something wrong, anything wrong, just to rally the base and have the swamp’s back. The only thing preventing impeachment is that RINOs fear losing their seats. If their people tell them they can impeach without repercussions, they’ll hold hands with Maxine.
Stupid and gay!
Maybe I just don’t get it. I just can’t take Jay Sekulow Seriously. I mean he had a TBN show.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
uh, Sekelow’s show was completely focused on religious liberty. He was the first lawyer to represent abortion protestors outside clinics when they were considered rabid.
read about him and be ashamed. you remind me of the left dismissing people based on affiliations or skin color. these are extraordinarily perilous times. sekulow has always and is right now doing more than his fair share. can the same be said of you ... or any of us?
Jay Sekulow is Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), one of the most prestigious law firms in the country. He is an accomplished Supreme Court advocate, renowned expert on religious liberty, a number 1 New York Times-bestselling author, and a respected broadcaster.
Jay Sekulow is an attorney with a passion for protecting religious liberty - freedom - democracy. For nearly a quarter of a century, he’s been on the front lines - working to protect religious and constitutional freedoms in the courts, in Congress, and in the public arena.
At the Supreme Court of the United States, Jay Sekulow has argued cases 12 times - including several landmark cases which have become part of the legal landscape in the area of religious liberty litigation. In the Mergens case, Jay Sekulow cleared the way for public school students to form Bible clubs and religious organizations on their school campuses. In the Lamb’s Chapel case, he defended the free speech rights of religious groups, ensuring that they be treated equally with respect to the use of public facilities. In McConnell v. FEC, Jay Sekulow ensured that the constitutional rights of young people remain protected with a unanimous decision by the high court guaranteeing that minors can participate in political campaigns. Most recently, in Pleasant Grove City v. Summum, he secured a unanimous First Amendment decision clearing the way for governments to accept permanent monuments of their choosing - including Ten Commandments monuments - in public parks.
At the beginning, no one could have predicted that what began as a mission to protect religious liberty in this country would involve an international outreach. In a world where Christians face discrimination, violence, and even death for practicing their faith, it soon became clear that there was work to be done abroad. Jay Sekulow believes that religious liberty - religious freedom - is an international right - a global concern. He launched the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) - based in Strasbourg, France - the seat of the European Court of Human Rights. He serves as Chief Counsel of the ECLJ and has opened offices around the world in: France, Russia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and Israel.
With so much of our future tied to what happens in the Middle East, Jay Sekulow knew that establishing an office in Jerusalem was critical.
When Israel attempted to defend itself during a 2009 conflict in Gaza, the world community expressed outrage. Israel was falsely accused of committing war crimes. Jay Sekulow assembled an international legal team, which included former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, and presented critical arguments protecting Israel’s national security interests before the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
“Jay Sekulow is a true friend of Israel who has fought with us hand-in-hand in some of Israel’s most strategic, international battles,” said Danny Ayalon, Deputy Foreign Minister, State of Israel, who also served as Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. “Jay was instrumentally-involved in projects that the President of Israel and the Prime Minister put on our national agenda.”
Whether it’s fighting to protect religious liberty and freedom overseas, or right here at home, there’s a tremendous track record of success that’s not gone unnoticed.
Townhall Magazine named Jay Sekulow to its “Townhall of Fame” and recognized him as “one of the top lawyers for religious freedom in the United States.” Jay Sekulow was named one of “The 90 Greatest Washington Lawyers of the Last 30 Years” by Legal Times and recognized for “fighting to expand liberties and protect civil rights.” The Chicago Tribune concluded that the ACLJ has “led the way” in Christian legal advocacy. TIME Magazine named Jay Sekulow one of the “25 Most Influential Evangelicals” in America and called the ACLJ “a powerful counterweight” to the ACLU. Business Week said the ACLJ is “the leading advocacy group for religious freedom.” Jay Sekulow’s work on the issue of judicial nominees - including possible vacancies at the Supreme Court - has received extensive news coverage including a front-page story in The Wall Street Journal. In addition, The National Law Journal has twice named Jay Sekulow one of the “100 Most Influential Lawyers” in the United States. He is also among a distinguished group of attorneys known as “The Public Sector 45” named by The American Lawyer, which said the designation represents “45 young lawyers outside the private sector whose vision and commitment are changing lives.”
In 2014, Jay Sekulow was honored by the Greek Orthodox Order of St. Andrew the Apostle - Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate for his work in defending religious freedom and human rights. The Athenagoras Human Rights Award was presented to Jay Sekulow by His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America, Exarch of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, together with the Order of Saint Andrew’s National Commander Dr. Anthony J. Limberakis who paid tribute to Jay Sekulow for dedicating his life “to fighting for fundamental human rights and religious freedom in the international juridical arena, from the Supreme Court of the United States to the European Court of Human Rights.”
With more than one million members, the ACLJ is a powerful grassroots organization. Whether it’s protecting the display of the Ten Commandments or the National Motto, Jay Sekulow is at the forefront - advising key decision makers in Washington, D.C. concerning the constitutionality of legislation - representing Members of Congress on amicus briefs at the Supreme Court - and encouraging the passage of laws that are constitutionally-sound.
To get the message out, Jay Sekulow has developed a comprehensive media strategy to expand the reach of the ACLJ - a daily radio broadcast tackles the tough issues that matter most, a weekly television show highlighting key decision-makers, a user-friendly website which provides updated information, and engaging and debating the issues in the public arena.

With the ACLJ “Law of War Team” - Jay Sekulow warns that if left undefeated, we will witness genocide of historic proportions at the hands of the Islamic State. At the same time, Rise of ISIS reveals first-hand stories of bravery and triumph underscoring the fact that there is hope - even in the face of ongoing attacks.

Anyone thinking that Murller wears a white hat is nuts. Is LS still pushing that narrative?
Justice for me but not for thee???? Does he hear what he just said?
“according to four people familiar with the encounter”
nothing more than the leftist fake stream media quadrupling down on fake rumors ... they have no news, so they just make it up ... even Muelller himself said that a couple of weeks ago ...
(btw, i love the fact that they give a specific number of fake sources now ... for a long while recently they were always saying THREE sources ... now its FOUR ... I guess THREE wasn’t “credible” enough ... my guess is pretty soon it’s gonna be FIVE sources ...)
After Charlottesville when Drudge had the headline “Make America Hate Again......”
When I saw that headline, I stopped visiting Drudge’s web site. I haven’t been back since.
THANKS SESSIONS!!!!
Now go back to sleep you worthless trash.
And thanks for the dem senate seat in Alabama.
“Perjury trap.”
If Mueller tries to push this, I would shine a light on all of the prior prosecutions Mueller’s been associated with, and make it a central issue that he cannot be trusted and is a dirty cop who entraps innocent people in order to fulfill his personal agenda and to promote himself. Trump should push this narrative, and strongly go after Mueller’s lack of integrity and conflicts of interest.
That’s Mueller’s stock in trade.
