Fridays at the DC federal courthouse are typically days of high alert for the press corps trying to discern what special counsel Robert Mueller's next legal action will be. But this Friday, court officials went to extreme measures to ensure it was as difficult as possible to figure out what Mueller's team was doing as the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held a secret and mysterious argument about a grand jury subpoena challenge. An entire floor of the courthouse was closed to the public and press for more than an hour. During that time, attorneys secretly entered the courthouse to argue before three federal appellate judges over a grand jury subpoena.
The mystery of the subpoena appeal appears to date back to early September, when CNN witnessed several lawyers from Mueller's office entering a courtroom to argue against an unknown defense team before a trial-level judge who oversees federal grand jury-related cases.
Clearly, a challenge related to Mueller's grand jury investigation was underway.
Shortly after, that judge, Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the DC District Court, ruled on a case related to a grand jury subpoena, and the losing party attempted to appeal the ruling. The appellate court batted the case back down to Howell, who held a second sealed hearing on October 5. Though CNN was locked out of the courtroom while the arguments took place, the hearing featured the same team from Mueller's office as before, which included top criminal law appellate lawyer Michael Dreeben.
Mueller's office declined to comment on the hearings.

America is on the brink folks and I kid you not.

Nah, it will pass slowly and silently into the night. To many fat and happy, Gov keeping their bellys full and minds distracted.
I'll want a copy of that video.
Great points.
[Maybe the Good Lord will decide to come back.]
Somehow, the world WILL get its New World Order. Satan’s man, the Beast MUST have authority for a short time.
I don’t pretend to know exactly when it will all start. But there’s obviously something wrong at the highest levels, in many significant places around the world. Not just America, but England, Germany. France, too.
The Western World is destroying itself and it’s by traitors from within, a lot of the time, and in high places.
Another nothing burger.
In the fwiw department, Rudy better lay out a case that indicts many DOJ, FBI, CIA officials and Cankles campaign.
Please president Trump, declassify and release everything, including the F302s and FISA warrants.

Mr. Selleck, let me the first to welcome you to FR.
You have some really good movies under your belt, although Magnum PI didn’t trip my trigger...so to speak.
You did good in “Blue Bloods.”
Merry Christmas.

Why didn’t CNN send Jim Acosta?! The courts have ruled that he is special and can enter anywhere he wants.
Are you kidding me?!?
I may be old and crippled, but I ABSOLUTELY want to be in on that fight. I just pray the Lord grants me the time and opportunity.
Now I know why the statue of Justice is blindfolded.
Ferris, many here probably think you are mad for posting this, but in fact you are the sanest man on FR.
You are absolutely correct. The Book of Revelation (God's Holy Word) will be fulfilled. I don't know when. But it will be.
Are the signs there? Yes. How close are we? I do not know.
But anyone who pays any attention to the news and world events can see what is happening - clearly happening.
If that is scary, then you don't truly know Jesus Christ, and His promises.
Mr. Selleck, let me the first to welcome you to FR.

Congratulations. You are only the second Freeper to get it. Usually when I post something someone disagrees with, I’m accused of being a DUer.
I mentioned on an earlier thread that Trump is approaching dereliction if he does not take hold of his DOJ and get these documents released. The argument was being made that he might be saving them until the 2020 election. This is unacceptable if true.
Trump's problem is a corrupt and antagonistic DOJ. This is not a political problem.
Analysis: In democracies’ political chaos, new model emerges

Perhaps a New World Order model emerges? At this rate, you could see martial law in many countries. IMHO, this is what Obama was going for in the U.S.A. Multiple times. He just kept pouring gas on any fire he could.
And the Democrat’s BLM and AntiFa were running wild, in a lot of cases.
“In the process, these democratic nations risk losing a tradition of consensus decades old — an agreement among one another about how to live, how to govern and how to interact with others that has prevailed since the end of World War II.”
And what emerged at the end of World War II?
What a coincidence. A New World Order “governing body” that seemed to be a friend to the Jews at first, but has acted against the state of Israel in the majority of resolutions.
It’s just a matter of time....
Welcome aboard, Roy!
My guess the russian companies that are fighting back want things in the open.
I have a handful of very young grandchildren
I fear for their well being after I am gone
Fortunately they have very strong parents
“Arguing perhaps over whether a sitting president can be subpoenaed?”
Why not? It seems every petty Federal judge in America can make the POTUS dance like a puppet on strings.
