No offense but they can’t turn away a process server. they have to accept lawful court documents.
Tulsi can also hire a sheriff to deliver them, secret service can’t turn away a sheriff.
The Secret Service agent is an agent of the government with police powers so he could sign/accept the document from a legally certified process server.
Time to haul the agent’s ass before a court or congressional committee, put him under oath, and ask/demand to know why he refused to accept a legally served document.
The same for the Director of the Secret Service and the person who heads the Secret Service detail protecting Hillary.
That would be quite a show of 5th Amendment claims, I don’t recall lines, and “it wasn’t my responsibility but I don’t know whose it is and who gave the order”.
As Pres. Trump could say to them, “You’re Fired”!!
I don’t know the rules for Federal courts but under California law I could have, (1980’s-1990’s), gotten the name of one of the guards/officers and done a substitution of service on that person. I then would be required to send a copy by mail, with a “do not forward” notice on the envelope. My affidavit of service would identify the person I served by name and a physical description and the reason that I did a substituted service.
you have to prove that the person refused the process server’s documents....this only delays things which tells me hillery tactic will be to make everything as expensive to do as possible in hopes that the suit is abandoned.
Right. But they didn't. This is a Clinton pattern - stonewall and test the legal process. All along they way they find chances to escape.
“No offense but they can’t turn away a process server. they have to accept lawful court documents.”
A process server in Florida told me (years ago) I just drop it on the ground in front of them and say, “You are served.”
Precisely.
I’m no lawyer, but I thought in circumstances like these that possibly a contempt of court charge could be dropped on her.
