More On A Trump Subpoena

Douglas Kmiec, former head of the DoJ OLC under Reagan and Bush 41, gives a definitely maybe to the idea of a successful subpoena against Trump:

In 1988, with a White House entangled by Iran-contra, the O.L.C. was asked whether a president could be ordered to comply with a criminal subpoena seeking his testimony. We also responded in the negative — but it was not a simple, categorical no. The presidential subpoena is a valid legal tool, as Chief Justice Warren Burger made clear in United States v. Nixon, but a president may find case-specific reasons to resist it.

Recall that Richard Nixon had to give up his tapes — but the narrow ruling regarded pre-existing documents (as opposed to testimony), and the president himself was not the criminal defendant. The Supreme Court explicitly noted the absence of “a claim of need to protect military, diplomatic or sensitive national security secrets.” Watergate history affirms the common-law maxim that the law is entitled to every person’s evidence, but the court is sensitive to both interference with presidential responsibility and refusals for information anchored within executive privilege or the protection of open investigations.

...

About the only thing one can say for sure about the enforceability of a presidential subpoena is that, should the Trump and Mueller sides fail to agree on a setting for presidential interview, both sides have a basis to litigate the matter tenaciously.

The subpoena outcome is necessarily informed by highly contextualized facts. 

And since we don't know the full set of facts behind a possible Mueller subpoena of Trump it is hard to say in advance what the court would do.

I would welcome some legal advice on this passage, from the intro:

The letter [From Trump's legal team to the DoJ] is more monarchal than respectful of the separation of powers and our democracy’s constitutional checks and balances. Its claims that the president can “order the termination of an investigation by the Justice Department or F.B.I. at any time and for any reason” is unprecedented and far exceeds even Harry Truman’s brazen and rejected attempt to take over the steel mills to blunt labor unrest in the 1950s.

Say what? I would have thought the President's control of the Executive Branch was far stronger than his control of external unions and industries, regardless of Truman's national security arguments.

Then again, my recollection from Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre is that the President can not give orders to the underlings in the DoJ. Nixon wanted to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox but could not do so directly. Therefore he kept firing Attoneys General until he found one willing to do the deed.

Of course, Archibald Cox's Special Prosecutor office was a legislative creation that differs from Mueller's Special Counsel status. Congress has mooted legislation specifically protecting Mueller but has not passed it. On the other hand, I believe I have read that there is chain-of-command legislation governing the DoJ, the upshot of which is that Trump can fire the AG but not any of the underlings. If I am right about that than the President can not directly, e.g., order the halt of an FBI investigation; he would need to find a cooperative AG.

So, my question - is that the sort of objection Kmiec has in mind - that a Trump order to the head of the FBI to halt an investigation would specifically exceed a statutory limit in a way that attempting to nationalize the steel industry would not? I'm baffled.

We aren’t going to run the AP story on a subpoena. It’s all speculation - Like the seven hours of pre-game hype before the NBA final.

[Trowbrdge H. Fprd]

Things returned to normal today when I read The Guardian online where it had an article about a shakeup in the North Korean leadership, probably a murderous one, based upon rumors in its military leadership, based upon a South Korean suspicions. No discussion though about the military guys disagreeing with Kim about still going ahead with claims that the country was going ahead with nuclearization when it was just what the Yanks had made up all along.

More bizarre when Joe Scarborough would only discuss our dictatator playing being a king on tv when his counsel that Giuliani loon indicated that he could have shot the former FBI Director Comey with impunity when it increasingly looks like he did see that poor Seth Rich was done so to help make Trump POTUS..

[Thomas Collins]

Note that even if there is legislation limiting POTUS's ability to terminate an investigation, POTUS could argue that such legislation violates the Executive Power clause of the constitution. Ultimately, notwithstanding the separation of powers questions that will provide scholars with grist for articles, Trump versus Mueller is essentially a political contest. At the moment, Trump doesn't have enough political support to croak Mueller's investigation, and Mueller doesn't have enough political support to stop Trump from fighting the subpoena.

[Captain Hate]

Congress has mooted legislation specifically protecting Mueller but has not passed it.

It would violate separation of powers. Mueller is a DOJ employee, the legislative branch can't dictate personnel decisions of the executive branch

Even if Trump lost the subpoena fight, he could take the 5th unless the questions are intended to obtain evidence against someone else - evidence that only Trump could provide. And since we know what the questions are, we know that's not the case.

They are starting construction in my area for sidewalk and street improvements ahead of starting a new bus line which will have a stop just 2 blocks from me. It will go from the University of Indianapolis about a mile south of me to downtown and then to Broad Ripple (a northeast side neighborhood full of boutique shops and night clubs).

The city has an ambitious plan to expand bus service and this is part of the second stage. The goal is to increase ridership y 70%.

So Richard Haas, you spent your adult life studying foreign powers. Tell me, first of all, have you ever heard a president or presidential adviser suggest that a president could shoot somebody who was investigating him and not be indicted? What countries does that sound like?"

"It's inconsistent with the DNA of this country," Haas said. "The whole idea of impeachment suggests implicitly that no president is above or beyond the reach of the law. If we thought that, we wouldn't have a mechanism for removing a president for crimes."

"By the way, we wouldn't have the president on his very first moment getting sworn in, promise to uphold the laws of this country," Scarborough said. "And if anybody in the White House does not believe that every member of the Supreme Court will seize upon that oath he took to uphold the laws of this country and the Constitution, then they're kidding themselves.".

This seem off topic by now, but I'm bringing this forward, because I actually remembered to check for a new thread before posting this one at the end of a dead one!

Buckeye:

"I am sure that however I was taught to read, it didn't do squat for learning to spell:)"

Well, phonics would have been no help there! My daughter could spell anything phonetically, which meant when it came to writing, it was like having to learn the language all over again.

Written English is one of the least phonetically consistent languages there is. It certainly has a phonetic component, which is useful at the very earliest stages of reading, but the more fluent a reader one becomes the more reading becomes a matter of whole word recognition, and ultimately, the bigger the blocks you recognize at a glance, the faster you read. Indeed, I believe what the most efficient readers are actually doing is "seeing" whole lines of words/text rather than "reading" them. There are also huge redundancies, which are more whole word related than phonetic. Those "Can you read this?" specimens that periodically circulate on the net, actually do have something to tell us about how the brain processes written language.

It deosn't mattaer in what oredr the ltteers in a word are, the iprmoatnt tihng is that the fisrt and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. And I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

And this:

7H15 M3554G3 53RV35 70 PR0V3 HOW OUR M1ND5 C4N DO 4M4ZING 7H1NG5! 1MPR3551V3 7H1NG3! 1N 7H3 B3G1NN1NG 17 WA5 H4RD BU7 YOUR M1ND 1S R34D1NG 17 4UTOMA471CALLY W17H 0U7 3V3N 7H1NK1NG 4BOU7 17, B3 PR0UD!

Oddly enough, the second one is a less radical departure from the norm than the first.

I think focusing on one linguistic aspect of reading and writing to the exclusion of others is a huge mistake, not least of all because what is easier for one child ia not necessarily most effective for another. As in almost everything, that's where parental involvement can really make a difference, because teachers simply do not have the time to tailor their lessons to individual students.

Jon Stewart Defends Bee: Right-Wing Outrage Is Just a 'We're the Real Victims Game'

Seeming to imply that Bee shouldn’t have apologized, Stewart said there is nothing anyone can do to “make them give up this ‘We’re the real victims’ game,” because, “it’s a game, it’s a strategy, and it’s working.”

“Please understand that a lot of what the right does, and it’s maybe their greatest genius, is they’ve created a code of conduct that they police, that they themselves don’t have to, in any way, abide,” Stewart said.

The right described him as a “tool of the Obama presidency,” because he made two visits to the White House. Meanwhile, Trump “spoke to the head of Fox [News] and strategized with him on a weekly basis and uses their on-air talent as advisers.” He told liberals, “Don’t get caught in a trap of thinking you can live up to a code of integrity that will be enough for the propagandist right. There isn’t. And so, create your own moral code to live by, but don’t be fooled into trying to make concessions that you think will mollify them.”

'Cause we know who the real victims are.

Five Eyes is the name of the intelligence alliance between the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand that has routinely shared sensitive intelligence since 1955. But failure to respond to interference attempts by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should endanger New Zealand's membership, Peter Mattis, a former CIA China expert testified to the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission last month.

"In New Zealand, both the last prime minister, Bill English, and Jacinda Ardern, have denied that there's a problem at all," Mattis, now a fellow at The Jamestown Foundation, said.

"Australia and New Zealand both face substantial problems with interference by the CCP. In both cases, the CCP has gotten very close to or inside the political core, if you will, of both countries," Mattis said.
