AsburySkinsFan Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Giuliani is gasping at a hundred different starws at once. If they TRULY believe that it is illegal for the FBI to record Trump when Trump communicates to the subject of an ongoing and active investigation then they need to get a freaking clue. You CANNOT claim immunity from prosecution because it was your drug dealer’s phone that was being tapped and not YOURS. That’s why they tap your drug dealer’s phone, to catch everyone else calling!!

I'm no lawyer but I don't think that situation set any kind of precedence. My understanding is is ole Slick Willy and Starr negotiated a deal where Bill wouldn't challenge the subpoena. So to me that doesn't mean that it is settled that a POTUS can be subpoena because it has yet to be challenged. If it were clear that he could be subpoenaed, then Starr would have had no reason to negotiate. Anyone else wanna jump in on this? I could certainly be wrong.

Clinton's legal team were going to challenge the subpoena for the reasons Trump will. Starr negotiated so he didn't have to prolong the investigation and process.

However, Clinton lawyers threatened legal action and likely would have taken a long time to get to the SCOTUS. He then negotiated the parameters of the interview with the Clinton team from there. So a precedent was never set that could be applied here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it's possible someone got ahead of themselves or misinterpreted what they were told, or that someone leaked this on purpose to later deny it.

From the article: Quote It is settled law, the court said, "that the president is subject to judicial process in appropriate circumstances." The bolded part could cause issues. It would most likely end up in front of the Supreme Court. And considering their current makeup, it is impossible to guess how they would rule.
