No. SCOTUS *halted* the charges against the company. That means the court stopped Bungling Bob.
The title is badly worded.
Not when it’s a matter of urgent public policy interest.
Or, tomorrow is Christmas.
Probably not good for Mueller’s fishing expedition.
What we REALLY need is lots of rope and torches.

And this is also frightening stuff...
No decision. Chief Justice Roberts (acting alone) granted a temporary stay of a D.C. Circuit decision until the full Court decides if they will hear an appeal from that decision. The parts of the case file that are public show that the issue before the Court is whether U.S. courts may hear a criminal prosecution of a company owned by a foreign government.
The dirty little secret federal prosecutors don't want defendants to know is that the defendants are free to publicize the existence of a subpoena. The duty to keep a sealed subpoena is binding only on the prosecutor.
There is a difference between a sealed subpoena and a sealed indictment. With a sealed indictment, the targets don't know they have been indicted until they have been arrested. Defendants know when there is a sealed order for a subpoena. Otherwise, how could they respond to it.
