As Rudy Giuliani enters the center ring of the legal fight between President Donald Trump and special counsel Robert Mueller, the former New York City mayor is already anticipating one possible battle – a subpoena for President Trump to testify. “I think it's 50/50,” Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, told ABC News regarding the possibility of a subpoena. “But I got to prepare for that 50 percent.”
As ABC News confirmed earlier this week, the president’s legal team was told by Mueller he could “compel” the president to testify before a grand jury via a subpoena. As Ty Cobb steps down from his position as White House counsel handling the Russia probe for the presidency, his replacement, Emmet Flood, has been through battles like this before. “I think Emmet was brought in because he represented Clinton during their subpoena battle and knows a great deal about it,” Giuliani said.
Giuliani already believes he’s settled one case. The mayor argues that with the information now out about how the president reimbursed Michael Cohen for his payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, that case no longer has implications that campaign finance laws were violated.
“I think the investigation with him [Cohen] largely fell apart, with the loss of the campaign finance possible violation which never existed in the first place, but they sure thought it did,” Giuliani told ABC News Thursday night in a phone interview, adding that his client, President Trump, has nothing to worry about in this matter.

People need to understand and acknowledge that a sitting President is above the law.
Literally.
If you want to prosecute one for a crime, or compel their testimony, they must agree or Congress must remove them first.
Otherwise it's sedition.
Right on.
I think Mueller is bluffing and grasping at straws at the same time.
We need to perform a Citizens’ Arrest of Mueller on charges of Treason.
Mueller is desperate. He needs to keep the balls in the air. Unfortunately, he has no balls.
a legally worthless piece of paper that any sitting president can and should just flush down the toilet
Mueller as a lawyer knows this
DJT has to terminate this entire Mueller-Rosenstein BS, now
“It may be all about pr value.”
Correct.
It all about Democrats and statists of every stripe being able to publicly proclaim and posture; “NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW!”.
Which is something stupid people believe.
There are only two levers of power over a sitting President:
1. The voting public at election
2. The US Congress upon Impeachment and Conviction
That’s it.
There is nothing else.
Of course Mueller will subpoena Trump. Then Trump will either accept the subpoena and walk into a perjury trap, or reject the subpoena, which the MSM will characterize as a de facto admission of colluding with Russians to steal the election.
Sessions has earned his money from Soros.
“Of course Mueller will subpoena Trump.”
Agreed.
It’s as certain as the day is long.
That’s right. All he has is a very tainted “investigation”.
Trump deserved this when he placed Sessions at DOJ. Good luck, Trump, especially if the GOP gets waxed this November. It’s a possibility given Trump has zero coattails in a mid-term election year.

Right.
A sitting president cannot be indicted and there are no grounds for impeachment.
Exactly. Which only reinforces the malevolent and improper purpose of the mueller operation. DJT should take note and take the necessary action of terminating the mueller farce now
3 May: MONUMENTAL: The Naked Truth About Robert Mueller
By Rep. Louis Gohmert
Robert Mueller has a long and sordid history of illicitly targeting innocent people. His many actions are a stain upon the legacy of American jurisprudence. He lacks the judgment and credibility to lead the prosecution of anyone.
I do not make these statements lightly...

Mueller needs to be cut down to size and I think Donald J. Trump has the stuff to do it.
The House makes it own determination of what high crimes and misdemeanors are in its impeachment trial. I am sure the Democrats and Never Trump Republicans can be creative. The President and his close associates are still in grave legal jeopardy.
Yes. I read that in its entirety last week. Funny, the left-media haven’t found the time to educate the public on the background of Mueller and his Inquisitors.
Mueller is trying to force what the media/rats will describe as a “constitutional crisis” when PDJT tells Mueller and a judge to stuff their subpoena.
Meanwhile, Obama, Hillary, and a couple dozen other criminals walk free.
Let him.
Good luck with that, Mueller.
Mueller is trying to get fired.
He’d best be careful that he doesn’t try so hard that he ends up being hanged for it.
