A former assistant special Watergate prosecutor suggested President Trump could be carted away by U.S. Marshals and brought before a federal judge if he were to defy a potential subpoena from the special counsel requesting an interview.
“At that point, they would make a motion to hold Donald Trump in contempt,” attorney Nick Akerman told host Joy Reid Saturday morning on MSNBC.
“The question would be what would the federal district court judge do in terms of a remedy? 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 in federal prison until he testifies.”
Reid asked what the next step would be if Trump barricaded himself in the White House and refused to comply with the marshals’ attempts to force him to appear before the judge.
“At some point, he has to come out of the White House,” Akerman remarked. “The U.S. Marshals will be directed to take him into custody, bring him before the federal district court judge.”

I think that’s the definition of a coup. Unfortunately for the Marshalls, they’ll likely have to face off against US military hardware.
None of these sumbitches would pass a piss test and that goes for over half of congress too.
The only person with power to arrest the President is the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate.
Whatever he’s on, cut the dose.
Our Constitution is literally dead dude. Trump is merely a stop-gap measure put in place by God to help patriots regroup to prepare for the final war.
If you are not prepared then you need to be. Now is the best time to stock up on emergency food, fuel, ammo, and buy some land out in the country. Because the crap is going to hit the fan by 2020. Trump isn't going to be POTUS forever.
Joy is more likely to be arrested for something she is smoking or snorting.
#24. Re “Whatever he’s on, cut the dose”.
NO. Increase it to the point that his ignorant head explodes like those in the movie “Videodrome”.
Gee, Hillary worked for the Watergate commission until she was fired for unethical conduct, etc.
Maybe these two were twins at birth. Stupid as dogshit and still smell like it today.
Well,I guess I can dream of every mainstream mediot’s head on a pike.
MSNBC “dreamers” are having wet dreams again. Trump Derangement Syndrome.
That fugly lesbian negress is an “analyst”??? GMAFB, she is just a leftist reader of scripts.
I wonder what’s in Nick Ackerman’s closet?
Not possible!
Isn’t a subpoena only a suggestion? Or is this only when Democrats are subpoenaed
you can’t indict a president in office. sorry about that.
The point is that the White House is not a "gun free zone". The "security guards" have much more fire power than any pearl handled revolver cowboy. I suspect he would not make it past the front gate, and would likely not even make it TO the front gate.
