Reid envisioned a scenario of a White House besieged by federal marshals who would wait for Trump to give the Secret Service a stand down order so he could be taken into custody.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s say that Donald Trump decides he doesn&#8217;t want to give an interview with Mueller, but Mueller says &#8216;Oh, but you will.&#8217; And he&#8217;s subpoenaed to [be] interview[ed] [by] Robert Mueller. And Donald Trump simply says, &#8216;I don&#8217;t recognize that subpoena.&#8217; This is a president whose behavior is different as president of the United States. He doesn&#8217;t follow convention. Who would force him to comply with the subpoena ordering him to do an interview with Robert Mueller?&#8221; Reid asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would be a federal court judge,&#8221; former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How would they enforce it?&#8221; she asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Normally, a person who refuses to testify before a grand jury winds up being incarcerated for the time period of the grand jury which can be up to 18 months,&#8221; Akerman said. &#8220;So, one way to enforce it is to have Donald Trump taken by the federal marshals and put into federal prison until he testifies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What if he refuses to open the White House door?&#8221; Reid asked, seriously. &#8220;What if he fires any Secret Service agent who would allow the federal marshals in? What if Donald Trump simply decides I don&#8217;t have to follow the law? &#8216;I refuse to be held under the law. No marshal can get into this White House and any Secret Service agent who defies me is fired.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, at some point he is going to have to come out of the White House,&#8221; Akerman answered. &#8220;At some point, he is going to have to leave and the U.S. Marshals will be directed to take him into custody, bring him before a federal district court judge. He&#8217;ll be basically told that either he goes in and he testifies or he takes the Fifth Amendment. If he takes the Fifth Amendment, there&#8217;s not a problem. If he refuses to answer on the grounds that a truthful answer would tend to incriminate him he has the right to do that. If he does that, there&#8217;s no contempt. If he doesn&#8217;t do that, he can be directed to go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. End of story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the discussion continued Akerman talked about a bench warrant for Trump and how that would play out with law enforcement. Reid also conceived a situation where Trump wouldn&#8217;t &#8220;recognize the authority&#8221; of investigators while &#8220;an entire media chorus&#8221; would be there to encourage him to be defiant, something she said Nixon did not have.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2018\/04\/08\/msnbc_joy_reid_what_if_trump_refuses_to_be_arrested_by_federal_marshals.html\">http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2018\/04\/08\/msnbc_joy_reid_what_if_trump<br \/>\n_refuses_to_be_arrested_by_federal_marshals.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSNBC&#8217;s Joy Reid: What If Trump Refuses To Be Arrested By Federal Marshals?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=97817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97817\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=97817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=97817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=97817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
