Billionaires always avoid the system by trying to delay everything. We need laws to expedite the process.

How many of us regular old citizens of the US have the means to block all of these depositions laid out against the former president. I would be broke after my first meeting with these lawyers.

Why try to block a subpoena? An honest person has no need to worry about an opportunity to tell the truth.

No more blocking as a tool to avoid truth... Unless you are hiding something? Which means we need to try harder to get the details.

Doesn't the man ever quit we're so sick of him

Only crooks try to hide what they've done! Lock them all up!

Regular ppl would be put in prison for what the trumps do as a matter of course

[tylerbaker]

I thought ignoring subpoenas was a crime they should get thrown in jail

Keep running, Trump. Eventually, there is no where left to go. Even for a low end struggling millionaire...

[oscarcallejas]

He obviously has alot to hide because clean companies would be open to being investigated but we'll see if this gets better

[Trilogysworld]

[MobbDeep]

For a family that has nothing to hide…what are they trying to hide ..lol

[SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans]

They're at least trying harder than Rudy Giuliani tried. Will it be a success, I doubt it, but they're trying.

Imagine the real crime that could be dealt with rather than this search for a crime.

You cannot block a subpoena. Does not happen.
