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.'"

I don’t recall, but I bet there was a shot pf Goldie’s great butt! There always is in her movies!
Dismiss this stuff at your own peril. She is simply selling what her base wants to buy. A significant portion of the Democrat base is having wet dreams about Trump being arrested.
Will never happen.
Grow up KillJoy
She is such a Joyke....
LOL
These people are INSANE!
And that is exactly why we have this huge nonsense “investigation” into Russian “collusion” with Trump.
Because there are indeed, many active federal prosecutors (and other employees) who don’t believe this is an “absurd daydream”, at all.
It’s called the Swamp for a reason, and it’s not just because DC is sitting on land reclaimed from a naturally occurring swamp.
Here is a scenario ... what if the left started a shooting CW2. Then Her and many other high profile leftist media types and other traitors are found “decorating” lampposts ... How about that No-Joy ?
Her ? She ? grammer police please enlighten me
Don’t worry about it Joy because it won’t happen. What you need to worry about is how you are going to act when the Feds or military comes after your sorry ass.
They will hung by their necks and gutted live.

Got the reference, link above will help others that might have missed it.
It’s a logical(ish) extension of their fantasy of impeaching Trump - as a way of a majority/mob rule nullifying the election, which was won by a popular minority due to EC. Should the Rs lose majority of Congress (both houses), Ds will simply perform a straight-up nullification of the 2016 election, acting as kangaroo court (House indicts, Senate convicts on vague “treason” charges). Having thought through to that wet dream, they have to consider what happens when Trump declares “that’s bull$#!^” (which it will be) and refuses to leave - creating a legitimate Constitutional crisis (malicious Congressional majority abusing power to impeach & remove POTUS just to invalidate a legitimate election, a very bad move).
Leftists know the Right will always play by the rules. When close approaching ability to rule by force, they’re prone to outright abuse of rules precisely like impeachment: they _know_ Congress has the unconditional power to remove a President - even though it’s obviously intended as a safety valve, the Left is quite happy to abuse it, causing the Right to again tie into knots dealing with procedures followed to the letter even if it’s obvious (a la Hillary flaunting her crimes, knowing she worked the system to not endanger her).
Much as FReepers are denouncing the “Trump refuses arrest” Leftist wet dream, it’s actually a realistic scenario Democrats are trying to make come about: nullify election by baseless impeachment, forceable arrest should he respond with “FU”. What the Left _isn’t_ considering is the ensuing civil war.

Front or back?
What if her brain just stopped working? Would anyone notice?
If you had just said, "What if Joy Reid got a new hairdo[?]" it wouldn't have been a problem.
But as it is, now I can't get that image of "got laid" out of my head.
Thanks a lot! :-)
These so-called news persons at MSNBC are beyond delusional, idiotic, and being of any newsworthiness.
