A question for trump supporters: if you have to pick between trump and the rule of law, which?

You're welcome to just answer the thread topic; or, if it helps you to have something specific, let's use a hypothetical.

Imagine the Democrats lawfully subpoena the Mueller report, and trump refuses, and they go to court and the court orders it to be handed over, and trump refuses and says 'what are you going to do about it?'. Which do you support: trump or the rule of law? I think we have trump's answer; I'm asking if you're with him. Just try to answer honestly.

 

[Craig234]

They aren't exactly rushing to take a stand, are they? I guess better silence than having them lie. But silence speaks pretty loudly.

Congress cannot lawfully see the full unredacted Mueller report. One would then expect the Trump Admin to resist the lawless acts of Congress.

Why can’t the democrats walk across the street and read it. I think AG Barr made that available to them.

Pretend they could (since you need to pretend), and answer the question.

 

[Craig234]

Because Barr has NOT made it available to them.

 

[ludin]

Because Barr has NOT made it available to them.

actually he has they refuse to read it.
please know what you are talking about.

it will help you in discussions.

 

[Athanasius68]

Well, if the law says Congress has a right to the material, I fail to see what the concern would be.

I don't do hypotheticals and prefer to live in reality.

Well, this is a very unlikely hypothetical situation, but hey...I'll play.

Based on Trump's responses to prior court rulings, I believe he will comply with your hypothetical court ruling. I've never seen him violate a court ruling and I don't think this will make him start doing so.

 

[Craig234]

Barr has not made the complete report available to ANY Democrat. He has made a report with fewer redactions available to a handful of Democrats, only to look at, not to receive for use. Try telling the truth. It won't help you in discussions, though, it'll show you wrong.

Except you did not play.

The question was not, 'what do you think trump will do'. The question was, IF he did NOT comply, what would YOU do: side with trump or the rule of law?

 

[Craig234]

I don't do hypotheticals and prefer to live in reality.

Except this isn't a hypothetical and the reality is trump is a threat to the rule of law. You were invited to respond to the topic without any hypothetical. The offer of a hypothetical was sort of training wheels to help those who need that, but even training wheels aren't enough for some.

 

[Craig234]

Well, if the law says Congress has a right to the material, I fail to see what the concern would be.

The concern in the hypothetical would be, as stated, that a court rules trump has to turn over the report, and trump refuses. Would you side with trump or the rule of law. You are making my point that trump supporters simply seem unable to understand the idea of the possibility trump is a criminal.

 

[Mycroft]

You're right. I didn't play.

Oh well...moving on...

I did. what you fail to understand is that grand jury testimony is classified and no matter how much the leftists want to cry about it.
he made a less redacted report available for view they refused to read it.

YOu said he didn't yet he did.

so why did you lie and say he didn't make a report available?

It's not that anyone cannot understand the "possibility" of anything. It is that there is no evidence of anything. Some of us like to see evidence before we suspect someone of committing a crime.

Others...including you...think he's a criminal and you are willing to make up evidence if you have to.

Is that where wind generators cause cancer and Ted Cruz's father helped assassinate JFK?

LOL, this is just too stupid to even contemplate. :roll: That's the honest answer.

He would appeal.

 

[Craig234]

He would appeal.

Obviously, I'm saying this at the end of appeals. Assume it's the Supreme Court who ruled against him, or that the Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal.

 

[Craig234]

I dub thee cultist.

Your lack of reading comprehension has bitten you again. This isn't about whether he is a criminal, or my opinion.

It's about you seeing the question, "IF he refused a court order to release the Mueller report and you had to choose between trump and the rule of law, which would you choose?", and being able to press the keys "r-u-l-e o-f l-a-w" in response - which you just can't, it appears.

 

[Craig234]

...Ted Cruz's father helped assassinate JFK?

I heard in a song, that it was you and me. Perhaps trump was referring to that? OK. I didn't think so.
