They can try but I doubt it.
The Leftists’ War on America continues.
executive privilege. When did Obama allow private negotiations be given out with Iran.
2- If the interpreter were to respond to a subpoena, he could use the Stzrok approach and respond that the information is classified and only the President can declassify.
Well yes. They can subpoena Grover Cleveland if they want to. Next question...
The interpreter should only speak Russian before Congress.
No they can’t and they know it
It’s solely to keep their nauseous narrative in the forefront
This is what happens when you think the swamp is just gonna drain itself.
They would crap their pants to find out how tough Trump was on Putin ,but Obama ,Putin probably made him Kiss his feet
Rats in Congress double down on prom queen drama and stupid simultaneously!
That would come under executive privilege.
The interpreter is simply an extension of the president himself, and congress cannot subpoena the president due to separation of branches.
Typical leftist tactic.
I’m not sure this wouldn’t backfire on them. What if, after all the demands to have the interpreter testify, it turned out that he/she tells us that Putin told Trump that they changed 10 million votes in favor of HRC and she really lost massively? Or something similar.
Be careful what you wish for, libs.
Nope Separation of Powers and Executive privilege.
If the Dems can get the Rinos to agree to issue a subpoena, it will be a piece of cake to find a willing judge to enforce it.
Seems like a pretty cut-and-dried separation of powers issue to me.
“Can Congress Subpoena Trump’s Interpreter?”
It’s absurd that such a question is even asked in print.
The author is an idiot.
Apparently Jazz Shaw knows nothing of the law nor Executive Privilege.
Since a few claim to have been to legitimate law schools, they’d certainly look pretty stupid, at least to the voters - the media, not so much as j-school is pretty much like Head Start these days!
The translator probably has a higher security clearance than Congress so she can’t discuss anything ,LOL
