9 Nines Report post Posted October 11 (edited) October 11, 2019 - the day the US Officially became a Banana-Republic Justice Department Asks Judges to Block Subpoena October 11, 2019 at 5:45 pm EDT “The Justice Department asked a federal appeals court on Friday to stop the release of President Trump’s tax returns to the Manhattan district attorney’s office, arguing that local prosecutors should have to meet a very high legal bar before investigating a sitting president,” the New York Times reports. “The filing meant Mr. Trump’s own Justice Department was lending support to his attempt to block a subpoena issued to his accounting firm for eight years of his personal and corporate tax returns.” Edited October 11 by 9 Nines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitansFan777 Report post Posted October 11 (edited) Barr is unofficially Trumps lawyer and has been for some time. His job isn’t to look out for America’s interests - it’s to look out for Trump’s. Execute them both. Edited October 11 by TitansFan777 2 2 titanruss, OILERMAN, MadMax, and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChesterCopperpot1 Report post Posted October 11 It’s like they don’t even realize they’re not his personal counsel. Goodness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justafan Report post Posted October 11 This is a pretty blatant abuse of power. Having said that, the argument that the bar should be very high to subpoena a sitting president is correct. It should be a very high bar. I can't imagine they haven't met that bar but if they haven't then it should be blocked. It's still pretty crazy. Doesn't the White House Counsel usually makes these arguments? It seems outside the scope of the head of the Justice Department to argue in defense of the President.

JakePA_Titan Report post Posted October 12 Abuse of power. Lmao. The left is a bunch of entitled crybabies. Whatever they want to see, collect, investigate, they should get. And when they don't they throw a tantrum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one being a pouty baby is Trump because the law demands he do something he doesn't want to do. He's being forced to eat his vegetables and doesn't like it one bit! But when Trump stamps his feet and throws a tantrum, you guys laud him for being "strong". 3 reo, heyitsmeallen, and MadMax reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No1TitansFan Report post Posted October 12 The entire executive branch now clearly, often quasi legally, has elevated protecting Trump over serving the American people and governing. 1 OILERMAN reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why should Trump be allowed to refuse to comply with subpoenas? If you or I try that we end up in prison but you think Trump is above the law. 2 reo, and MadMax reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
