Can someone explain how it’s plausible to say that the act of Mazars giving the DA tax returns in its possession will “lead to the diversion of [the president’s] energies”? I get there might be political fallout but the actual process being imposed asks nothing of the president/1 https://twitter.com/adamliptak/status/1195103438499188736

I get how other criminal process might require the president’s resources. But a subpoena to a third party requires nothing of him. So why not wait until there is actually a plausible claim that the process imposes burdens on the president? /end
