Supreme Court temporarily denies House Democrats access to Mueller documents
The Hill ^ | 05 20 2020 | John Kruzel

Posted on 05/20/2020 2:05:10 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

The Supreme Court on Wednesday denied a request from House Democrats for immediate access to redacted grand jury materials from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

The justices instead granted the Trump administration's request to continue shielding the secret grand jury transcripts and exhibits.

The Wednesday order also gives the Justice Department until June 1 to file a formal appeal of a lower court ruling requiring the administration to hand over the materials the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee initially requested as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

I would bet there is nothing worth seeing in the grand jury testimony and if there is it benefits Trump. Protecting a grand jury is vital to law. It involves only one side of a case and does not necessarily involve truth.

It’s only illegal if the black-robed authoritarians say it’s illegal.

I think you’re right, it will be a repeat of the house transcripts, where publicly people say one thing, the under oath, say another.

What’s this “temporarily” junk? Haven’t read the order yet, does that actually appear in the order? Or, are they saying that just because it’s a “temporary restraining order”, which means that the plaintiff(s) is likely to succeed on the merits?

How about the President demands that the names of those Congress creatures who used OUR money to pay off sex allegations be made public?

If they had access to it, Democrats could say absolutely anything was in it- and would.

Besides - I work for the federal government. Not willing to share my private information, and nobody else should be either.

The Democrats are absolute masters in the art of projection - accusing their political opponents, without any evidence at all, of the very crimes that they, themselves, commit. The Obamagate scandal is rife with this. Much of the Obamagate redacted information is evidence of crimes committed by Obama and/or his minions.

So, since they do it, they also assume that Trump does it, as well. Yet, every time any redacted Trump material is released, there is NEVER any evidence of Trump crimes in it, and there have ALWAYS been legitimate national security reasons to keep it confidential. It seems like the Wiley Coyotes of the Swamp might figure this out sometime. They are obviously too stupid.
