A Prime Example of Trumps Obstruction

[IM2]

Trump lovers enjoy telling everybody how all these charges have been leveled against Trump but nothing ever comes of it. Here is an example of why.

Judge chides DOJ for trying to block star Mueller witness testimony
By Josh Gerstein and Darren Samuelsohn

A federal judge sharply challenged the Trump administration on Thursday over its objections to a House Democratic lawsuit trying to force the testimony of one of Robert Mueller’s star witnesses as part of their broader impeachment inquiry.

Lawmakers have been fighting to bring in former White House counsel Don McGahn for questioning since he showed up repeatedly at the center of anecdotes detailing President Donald Trump’s potential obstruction of justice in the special counsel’s final report. But the Justice Department has tried to block McGahn’s testimony, arguing that the ex-Trump aide can essentially ignore a congressional subpoena related to his time in the White House, and that the courts shouldn’t weigh in on a dispute between Congress and the executive branch.

U.S. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday struggled to size up the department’s argument. The judge’s approach is being closely watched because her ultimate decision could have an effect on separate court battles over Democrats’ attempts to subpoena other reluctant witnesses as it investigates Trump’s attempts to pressure Ukraine into launching politically advantageous probes. During the hearing, Jackson directed several pointed questions at the Justice Department.

“So what does checks and balances mean?” Jackson asked at one point during the court arguments.

I do think things would be a little different if McGahn testifies.

Since you have to be deranged to support Trump...

No, there is no butthurt. I'm just making observations and watching the dumb people trying to justify criminal behavior because you hope Trump can return white domination to America.

Your going to be sorely disappointed. Attorney/Client Privilege... he doesn't have to disclose shit.. Now go cry in a corner...

According to the DC circuit court:

“With respect to investigations of Federal criminal offenses, and especially offenses committed by those in Government, Government attorneys stand in a far different position from members of the private bar. Their duty is not to defend clients against criminal charges and it is not to protect wrongdoers from public exposure. The constitutional responsibility of the President, and all members of the executive branch, is to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.’”

“When an executive branch attorney is called before a Federal grand jury to give evidence about alleged crimes within the executive branch, … the attorney shall provide that evidence.”

Good luck with that... SCOTUS has already ruled on this and its not in your favor..

Who do you think McGhan's client was? It wasn't Trump.

Which ruling are you talking about? You got a case #, or the name of that case, or the date?

Federal grand jury? When was he subpoenaed by a grand jury? Congress is NOT a grand jury. Separation of powers applies in this case.

I am not so sure that applies here. Nice try.

Perhaps you should look up the definition of "legal counsel". McGahn was the Presidents "legal counsel", both attorney client and executive privilege applies.

No dumb ass. The president has personal lawyers, but McGhan was not Trump's personal council.
