Fox News ^ | May 22 2019 | Samuel Chamberlain, Matt Finn

Tina Tchen, the former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, declined Wednesday to be served with a subpoena by a retired Illinois judge seeking the appointment of a special prosecutor in the Jussie Smollett case, according to the process server.

In an email to former Illinois appellate judge Sheila O'Brien obtained by Fox News, the process server wrote that a security guard at the Chicago law firm where Tchen is a partner "called up to her and spoke with her and she said that she in [sic] never going to accept service and to not allow me up to their Law firm.

"She knows all about this Subpoena," the server added.

The judge can order the Sheriff’s Office to serve the subpoena, and then the Obamas’ Oriental Toilet Brush can’t have her law firm’s rent-a-cop block it.

In Illinois the law says:

3. Service on Individual Defendants Service of summons may be made directly by the process server handing the summons and complaint to the individual defendant or, in the alternative, by abode service. 735 ILCS 5/2-203(a). Abode service consists of the process server handing the summons and complaint to a member of the defendant’s family 13 years of age or older, who regularly resides at the defendant’s residence, and the subsequent mailing of the summons and complaint to the defendant at that address. 735 ILCS 5/2-203(a). Abode service is sometimes referred to as substitute service.

For Cook county, the law says:

Illinois Process Server Licensing Requirements. Process shall be served by a sheriff, or if the sheriff is disqualified, by a coroner of some county of the State. A sheriff of a county with a population of less than 2,000,000 may employ civilian personnel to serve process.

So, I’m sure that they can find a Sheriff Deputy to serve it on her. I used to serve court papers and eviction related documents in California, (private investigator), and spent many hours on stake-out to catch reluctant defendants and witnesses.

With a little bit of ingenuity anyone can be served. The person does not need to touch the court summons to be served. The server can tell the person to be served that he/she has a summons to appear and drop it at their feet, on the car windshield, doorstep etc. As long as they have been told what it is, they are served. I’ve done it this way hundreds of times and never had the service quashed as a bad service. To quash it they have to prove in court, to the judge, that I did not serve them but I get to testify to the details of the service.

If she refuses service, then the server leaves the summons, (even on the doorstep) and then she’s been legally served.

Yup...worked as a process server during lulls in my free lance work, my lawyer clients called them, "nail and wail serves". You nail, they wail.

Didn’t know you could refuse a summons? I guess it’s nice to have powerful friends.

Rats know they’re untouchable because they know that 95% of the nation’s lawyers are Rats.

Yes, demonstrated by their party $$$ support. And high level politicians and most all judges used to be...lawyers.

Something the server already knows, all the server has to do is stake out her locations of presence, and when she is seen, call out to her and tell her she’s been served (even if running by) and drop the papers on the ground. She’s served. Or, make the number of attempts required by the judge (3-4) and then execute a 106 (in Texas) and post the papers to the entrance of the door or gate of her residence. She can NOT avoid forever. She will be served, it’s just a matter of time.
