<snip>
Lawyers for Colin Kaepernick are expected to seek federal subpoenas in order to force President Donald Trump and others to testify in the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback's grievance case against the NFL, reports Yahoo! Sports.

According to the report, Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and any other person who has knowledge of Trump's agenda on protesting NFL players could be called to testify.

The 30-year-old Kaepernick filed a grievance last October against NFL owners for collusion, claiming they schemed to keep him off the football field because of his protests not his football ability.

Great news

[Faux pas]

1. Go Colin!!!!!

[True Dough]

2. Good!

Hit him from the left! Hit him from the right! Tackle that POS and make him rue his undemocratic arm-twisting.

[malaise]

4. The Con may end up having more people drag him into court

than he dragged into court with all of his CONS.

11. I hope they sue him 'till his ass falls off.

Apparently, his minders can't control him at all. Someday, one way or another, he'll shut the hell up and we will no longer have to listen to him lie and deceive. Never has America heard such abuse of the Bully Pulpit.....

3. Excellent. n/t

[FarPoint]

5. tRump highjacked the Colin NFL message all together!

Twisted it being about flag etc...when message was and is about police brutality..

[RandomAccess]

6. The more lawsuits, the more depositions, the better

Hope this one works out really well for Kaepernick.

[duforsure]

7. They should also be looking into filing a defamation suit against him .

Then he'll start maybe watching who he attacks more, or not. But dragging his backside into court and being deposed is a huge threat to him.

[SunSeeker]

8. Sweeeet!

[former9thward]

9. These type of requests are never honored by the federal courts.

It is PR by the lawyers.

[fescuerescue]

10. If Mueller can't get Trump on the stand

I seriously doubt that Kaepernick will.


I'd love to see it happen, but this is PR posturing.

13. PR?

Trump will have to answer and it will all be on record. Is it really a waste of time? Maybe as far as getting Trump on the stand, but these things tend to accumulate and to lead to further legal actions. Perhaps it’s necessary to go after Trump on paper in order to sue the NFL owners.

I’m no lawyer but I know enough to think that legal paperwork going through the courts set up all kinds of precedents and paper trails. The legal system seems to exist on this practice. Everything in writing and with a history that can be checked and verified.

I may be way off the mark, but this is how I perceive it.

[fescuerescue]

16. Public relations

Trials like this are tried in the court of public opinion as much as the court.

I doubt that Trump will provide any answer at all, at least not within the duration of his Presidency.

Now bear in mind that I don't believe it's a waste of time. Far from it. PR is incredibly important in cases like this.

17. Thanks

So many times nowadays PR is just spin liberally imbued with lies used for manipulating the masses for an agenda.

It’s best to ask questions rather than make assumptions.

[mchill]

12. There are heroes that are coming out of this Time of Trump

Colin Kaepernick is one.
Michael Avanatti
Robert Mueller
Rod Rosenstein (provisional)

[BlueJac]

14. K&R

Go Colin!

[dlk]

15. Numerous Subpoenaed Depositions Would be Just the Thing for Trump

[ProudLib72]

18. These court cases are going to eat into his morning Fox marathon watching

Luckily, there is a very presidential TIVO that can follow him into prison. He can catch up on it there.
