So America's mayor threatens constitutional crisis....

Rudy apparently thinks he Trump's partner and co-President.

They cant possibly think they're above a subpoena can they? Nixon tried this w/ the tapes and got voted down by the SC 9-0.

Delay, distract and demean.

The tapes were evidence and tapes can't be indicted. Compelled personal testimony can result in an indictment. No one can be sure how the courts would rule.

He was convicted of civil contempt of court -- not criminal perjury. Far different cases although given what happened to Clinton it would be an argument against testifying. Clinton said he had an "improper physical relationship" with Lewinsky and he still was convicted.

As noted above just a delaying tactic.

We know what precedent says. We don't know if the con majority will agree. They will decide the future of this nation. God help us.

rolling over for Trump on judicial authority. Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch, yes.

Wouldn’t consider it a crisis for someone to do that.

if Trump defies a subpoena and this goes to the supreme court and Trump loses there. What is he going to do then defy the supreme court? That would put republicans in between a rock and hard place. They will either have to admit they would not impeach or remove Trump under any circumstances or they would have to do the right thing in joining with Democrats in impeaching and removing him from office. Maybe Trump and his team doesn't plan on letting it get to the supreme court instead Trump plans to use Mueller's subpoena of him as a pretext to fire Mueller.

If they don’t want to be under the restraints of a subpoena then they will have to argue against its validity.
