I am not a big fan of your strategy because even Executive branch law enforcement agencies are going to follow court orders. But what people here are forgetting is that Trump is Mueller’s ultimate boss and can fire him any time. The old Independent Counsel law was something else; Mueller is just acting with the power of a US Attorney per DOJ regs. So DJT can play this out and see what develops.
“I am not a big fan of your strategy because even Executive branch law enforcement agencies are going to follow court orders.”
Like they did under the Obama administration?
It’s time to take the gloves off. The judicial branch can’t exert direct authority over the executive, or we might as well just have two branches of government instead of three. That is why the Constitution provided impeachment, so that the law enforcement branch (the executive) wouldn’t be used by the courts as a weapon against their ultimate superior (the President). If there is a conflict between the courts and the President, the executive branch must obey the President. If anyone in the branch decides otherwise, the President should just terminate them, since they serve at his discretion.
