Can a President be Subpoena?

I was just listening to Rudy Giuliani on Fox and he made the claim that a sitting president couldn't be subpoenaed because he was too important and couldn't be distracted by an investigation. Now I think there is no question that Trumps peeps will buy that and even give change but if that is the case then how could a sitting president be impeached? Wouldn't being impeached distract him from his job that is so important that it places him above the law?

Now the simple fact that Rudy blurted out that Trump repaid Cohen that he doesn't even understand that a presidents job doesn't place him above the law then WTF is he doing on Trumps legal team? Does Trump not understand that Mueller has some of the best investigators in the country on his side? If he was serious about remaining president wouldn't you think he would surround himself with a legal team of equal competence?

So can a president be subpoenaed? Well three presidents have been subpoenaed before him so I think the question has already been answered. Too bad Rudy has never picked up a history book...

Muller is grasping at straws. The fact that Rudy blurted out that President Trump repaid the blackmail dosent make it truer. It would be hearsay at best.

Yes Muller has some of the best and crooked investigators who are not above planting or producing f**e information.

First the house has to v**e and pass a bill of impeachment then President Trump will be judged by Congress. The charges must be for something he did after being nominated to run for President. NOT for something her may have years before.

If found guilty he can be removed as President and the Vice President will succeed as President.

Criminal charges is a different matter unless he has violated some civil law, which he would never been allowed to run for President.

The reason Muller is d**gging the investigation out is the Demon-Rat are waiting until the e******ns are over in hopes they will obtain a majority in Congress who will set as judge in an impeachment trial.

True. Americans need to go to the poles and v**e Republican if you want America to remain a free Constitution form of government or America will become just another Socialist dictatorship country.

Americans v**e to remain free people
God bless America and President Trump

So why would Trump repay Cohen if the payment wasn't to keep Stormy silent? What would be the purpose in giving Cohen the money? And do you have any proof to your words or is this simply fear speaking because you know what is about to happen...

Ask Bill Clinton - who was issued one. It was suspended after he agreed to meet with the special counsel. Nixon was going to be subpoenaed, but chickened out and resigned instead.

Here's the bottom line: no one is above the law. Yep, I realize the irony of that.

"Can a president be subpoenaed?"

No.

the Judicial review committees under both a republican (Nixon) and democrat (Clinton) admin have determined it unconstitutional to indict and prosecute a sitting president. He must first be successfully impeached, then if probable cause exists, as a private citizen, he can be indicted and tried.

Federal law and DOJ regulations put specific limitations on the appointment of special counsels, they define the boundaries within which a special counsel or prosecutor must work. Two vexing problems under the Independent Counsel Act have been the tendency of some investigations to sprawl beyond the reason for their initiation and to do so without the discipline of limits on the public resources they consume.

Jurisdiction must be established by the Attorney General, whose regulations provide for grants of β€œoriginal” and β€œadditional” jurisdiction for special counsel. The order explains (64 Fed. Reg. 37039) that the regulations establish β€œa protocol whereby Special Counsels are provided with an appropriate description of the boundaries of their investigation, with the full recognition that adjustments to that jurisdiction may be required.

With the support and blessings of many--Brennan, Clapper, Rosenstein, Comey, McCabe, et al--Mueller has gone far beyond the boundaries and limitations of his authority. He is working far outside his constitutional and legal authority.

The objective of this ungodly spectacle is to destroy the dark horse that charged into the sacred turf of the liberal establishment elites, and who stomps through their glorious Utopian domain breaking things. To hell with the constitution and the Rule of Law, to hell with what is moral and right, to hell with the lives of decent human beings, just k**l this pesky interloper by any means possible.

That was epic ignorance. Trump was under scrutiny for a slew of things that were being questioned as being violations, he had not been indicted of anything. The people who v**ed for Trump don't care what he did or is doing.

It used to be bouncing a check would end a campaign, where are those days? Six bankruptcies are proof enough that he's a sleazy businessman

It means nothing that Rudy G came up with that somewhere? With your logic...

Trump never poked Stormy, that's a lie
There was no NDA
If there was Trump knew nothing about it
Cohen took care of the NDA for the affair that never happened without Trump knowing anything about it
Cohen borrowed $130k because he's so loyal to Trump

Mueller has made this whole thing up, fabricates evidence

Now you got it. Muller has f**ed evidence many times, twisted statements, bullies, threatens, to get what he hopes will be proof. He is loyal only to the ones who pays him the most money.

Just another slime ball swamp dwelling t*****r.

With everything in the world going on at this moment why are we being distracted with this? We all need to look beyond whether the man, a property magnet and business leader stuck his penis and paid her to be quiet about it we'll before he was in the running for office. We are being drawn away from items that really matter.. We all need to look beyond the smoke and mirrors. We need to know what they are doing and why they think it is important to distract us from it!

Under Article 2 of the constitution, a president cannot be subpoenaed or indicted unless he/she is impeached. A subpoena would create a constitutional crisis.
