Sam Nunberg wants to tear up Mueller subpoena.....REALLY!

[jillian]

...and he's stating that he's going to disregard a subpoena from the grand jury. He's saying his reason for this is that he doesn't think he should have to spend his time to go through his emails to provide the information that's been requested and he's assuming that he's a target of the investigation.

This is the interview I can find on the Internet -- Nunberg on subpoena: 'Screw that' - CNN Video -- but the one I'm currently hearing is with Jake Tapper. It's not yet on the web.

I don't know a thing about Sam, but I know he's playing a very high risk game.

can you imagine if Hillary said screw the subpoena...

Well, maybe, but that's really not the topic here.

well, it kind of is. because the question now is what are they going to do to this guy for NOT responding.

doesn't want to go through his emails? *shakes head*

Nunberg also said so many people who has worked or are still working in the White House are going bankrupt due to all the lawyer fees.
Trump has created a shit storm that is only beginning.

We warned everybody about this Shithole.

All's Well. Don't worry. The Great Orange Douche Show has many more shows to record.
When a former adviser telling the world the Great Douche may have done somthang, means
he wants to get paid to be in the show in the Storyboard writing section.

Trump will now get to see what happens when you defy a special counsel grand jury subpoena.

dude I can't wait for all this to see your sorry ass on what actually is the outcome.

I don't know a thing about Sam, but I know he's playing a very high risk game. The guy actually said unequivocally that he's not going to provide the documents and he's not going to appear before the grand jury, and they can arrest him for doing so. What is one to say? Be careful of what you ask for....

EDIT: Here's the Jake Tapper interview with Sam. It's astounding!

​

He's lost it. No question.
Trump knows how to surround himself with the very best, doesn't he?

 

[Lakhota]

Sam Nunberg said he will rip up the subpoena on MSNBC's Ari Melber show at 6:00 pm ET.

Will Nunberg show up? Ari is probably salivating...

Hard to believe anyone could possibly be that loyal as to go to jail for Trump! He wouldn't do it for his own children! Surfing by Fox News, they're going over an Oscar recap when all this big news is going on! It's hilarious how much they're in denial; totally look like fools doing it too!

Doesn't a Grand Jury have a judge? You sure that isn't a "Court?" Just asking--I'm not sure.

I was refreshing myself. And was right I think before here.

"FEDERAL GRAND JURY BASICS: STRUCTURE AND POWER. Federal grand juries have a maximum of 23 members, 16 of whom must be present to form a quorum. Indictments are returned by a vote of 12 or more members. Federal grand juries typically sit for a term of 18 months and meet at regular intervals. Although federal judges empanel federal grand juries and formally supervise them, these judges do not usually interfere with federal grand jury investigations. The federal prosecutor, or Assistant United States Attorney (“AUSA”), is the primary government official interacting with the federal grand jury. The federal prosecutor leads all grand jury sessions, although he cannot testify or be present during grand jury deliberations."

I would think Mueller will go this Panel Judge to get an Arrest warrant issued.

I agree, then he will go before a judge again, and then the lawyer will discuss the authority of the subpoena, again, can't wait.

I don't think you understand how the subpoena process works. There's no "authority" required either - although Mueller's authority is fairly well established.

well a subpoena is generated from something, they just don't hand them out. so again, the reason for the subpoena will be known. duh!!!!

They actually do just hand them out.

This is how it works.

A lawyer in a case (civil or criminal) will decide that there is some relevant and important information that they would like to have. They will go to the Clerk of the Court's office, and be given a blank subpoena form. The lawyer will fill the form out, going into detail about what documents they are requesting, or what people they are requesting affidavits from. They will then hand those documents to a process server, who will serve it to the person in question.

That person, at that point, is obligated under law to respond to that subpoena - by either producing the documents, or filing a motion to quash the subpoena. To successfully quash the subpoena, they would have to prove that either (1) The documents requested are irrelevant to the issue in front of the court, or (2) the documents are privileged - in this context, referring to communication between a party to the case and his attorney.

In this case, it would be nearly impossible for Nunberg's lawyers to argue for either of those.

ok, so what's different that what is being done?

Ex-Trump campaign adviser says he will refuse to comply with Mueller subpoena

Ha Ha! What an idiot. He will go to jail....oh

He also said that from the prosecutors question...he thought they had something on Trump. He thinks Trump did something wrong during the election.

Ignoring subpoenas.....

Worked for Hillary....

Liar. HUGE liar.

I've asked for one or a few failures to appear, by HRC.

Mueller is doing a real good Ken Starr type investigation and much like Starr’s I suspect by the time Mueller wraps it up the only people left who will care will be the most rabid of partisans.

Well we're closer than you think if this fool Nunberg is openly being uncooperative with Mueller!

 

[Baz Ares]

The walls are starting to close in on Trump because he knows mueller has a bullseye on his forehead. He can no longer say he isn’t under investigation.

White House staff say the president has been more erratic than usual and his allies fear for his mental health.

What will be next week here? The Great Douche played the tariff card. The shock is over.

Will Putin force Bashar al-Assad to use Gas so the Great Douche can invade Syria to change the News story for a week?

Nothing. Nunberg was served, and he's throwing a tantrum about it. If he follows through with his threats to ignore the subpoena, he'll either be fined or imprisoned until he responds to it. He could try to fight the subpoena, but I don't see how he could possibly argue that his emails are either privileged or irrelevant.
