That sounds fruitless. There is no question about the authority of Grand Juries to compel testimony. What are you thinking along those lines?
Perhaps whether there was a basis to empanel the GJ
“There is no question about the authority of Grand Juries to compel testimony. What are you thinking along those lines?”
This entire case is so poorly defined with absolutely no criminal matter being investigated I suspect there are multiple lines of legal challenges to contest the subpoena for testimony.
They aren’t investigating a crime. They are investigating based on a counterintel matter. Without knowing all the relevant statutes, I suspect there are numerous grounds to challenge and they will be when the appeal is filed.
I’d await that filing to see what the basis is for the appeal. It may be quite good and people are kind of sick of being dragged into a phony Russia Collusion Hoax investigation.
The risk to the innocent is high. As a result, I find no issue with the lawyer declining to cooperate and testing the framework of the request.
