1/ Issues I will (thankfully) not have to write about:
(1) Can the Special Counsel subpoena the President?
(2) Can the President fire the Special Counsel at will?
(3) Can the sitting President be indicted?
(4) How does obstruction of Justice interact with Art. II?
2/ I spilled far too much ink on Question #4.
Part I: lawfareblog.com/obstruction-ju…
Part II: lawfareblog.com/obstruction-ju…
Part III: lawfareblog.com/obstruction-ju…
Part IV: lawfareblog.com/what-obstructi…
3/ I have a draft piece on Question #1 about the limits of U.S. v. Burr and U.S. v. Nixon. Now I can finally wrap it up.

Breaking: #SCOTUS denies stay in bump stock case. Thomas and Gorsuch dissent. There wasn't even a call for a response. #ButGorsuch #NotKavanaugh
The Plaintiffs are seeking a stay from the Court of Appeals, an rehearing en banc
As it stands now, there is only one person in America who can own a bumpstock. A single district court judge in Utah issued a PI, but declined to make it nationwide.

#president @KRLS: "Rey o República no era un debate hasta que Felipe VI entro en política. En Europa hay muchas monarquías que entienden su rol, básicamente callar en política porque nadie les ha votado. No es el caso de España".

Entrevista a @WRadioColombia (Hilo 👇)
#president @KRLS: "El català es una lengua hablada por 10 millones de personas pero no se puede hablar en el @Europarl_EN . Soy crítico con las instituciones europeas porque quiero una Europa mucho mas democrática"
#president @KRLS: "Quiero una EU que alce la voz cuando uno de sus estados miembros, como España, viola los derechos fundamentales. Hay muchos ciudadanos europeos que sienten decepción al ver que solo priman los intereses económicos y no los derechos fundamentales"

#president @KRLS "No tinc xofers ni seguretat, però tinc gent que ajuda. És evident que l'Estat em considera "caça major", però no pots viure amb paranoia constant. Qui ha de viure amb por són els criminals, no nosaltres" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "Matí i nit intento parlar amb la dona i les nenes i fer els deures amb elles. Curiosament quan era a Catalunya no podia fer-ho. El dia a dia és a dins de la Casa, si no no surto" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "El Consell és un espai fora l'abast de la repressió espanyola. Això no ho paga fons públics, ni clavegueres de l'Estat ni fons reservat. Es fa igual que l'1oct. Jo ara no tinc sou. Intento gastar el mínim " #QuatreGatsTV3

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.

THREAD: Remember the claims by @realDonaldTrump & cronies that he'd sit for an interview w/Mueller⁉️

Trump LIED.🙄

Trump’s lawyers have **for months** tried to prevent Mueller from trying to force Trump to answer questions = #subpoena‼️ 1/

nytimes.com/2018/06/02/us/…
In a letter to Mueller, Trump's lawyers claim that Trump "cannot be compelled" to testify.🙄

WRONG! Mueller can #subpoena Trump to FORCE him to testify **in front of the grand jury**.😎

Trump's lawyers CAN be w/him for an interview, but NOT for grand jury testimony.😉 2/
Trump's lawyers also claim Trump "could not possibly have committed obstruction b/c he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations."🤨

Yeah, just ask Nixon about that‼️3/
