Sunday on her weekend morning program, MSNBC's Joy Reid seriously discussed a situation where President Trump refused a subpoena and would have to be arrested and put in jail until he testified before a grand jury. Reid envisioned a scenario of a White House besieged by federal marshals who would wait for Trump to give the Secret Service a stand down order so he could be taken into custody.
"Let's say that Donald Trump decides he doesn't want to give an interview with Mueller, but Mueller says 'Oh, but you will.' And he's subpoenaed to [be] interview[ed] [by] Robert Mueller. And Donald Trump simply says, 'I don't recognize that subpoena.' This is a president whose behavior is different as president of the United States. He doesn't follow convention. Who would force him to comply with the subpoena ordering him to do an interview with Robert Mueller?" Reid asked.
"It would be a federal court judge," former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said.
"How would they enforce it?" she asked.
"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 into federal prison until he testifies."
"What if he refuses to open the White House door?" Reid asked, seriously. "What if he fires any Secret Service agent who would allow the federal marshals in? What if Donald Trump simply decides I don't have to follow the law? 'I refuse to be held under the law. No marshal can get into this White House and any Secret Service agent who defies me is fired.'"

This over the hill, post-menopausal, stupid idiot is just expressing her wishes.
Should have thought about that when bammy gave billions to iran.
I heard Mark Levin say that the Constitution prevents Trump from being dragged before the grand jury while he is president. I don’t know enough about constitutional Law to agree or dispute this. I do know that Reid knows nothing about this worth knowing.
Say hello to my secret service agents leetle friend!

If you are going to take a shot at the king...
You have only one crack at that piece of the action, and the consequences of missing are swift and ruthless.
ALL branches of the military and Federal law enforcement are directly under the authority of the President, and without a lot of moral capital on the side of the insurrectionists, would be insubordination.
There are some well defined statutes regarding that.

She is not delusional or crazy. She is just an intellectual midget.
