Entire floor at D.C. federal courthouse sealed off for mystery case
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | 12/14/18 | Jamie Dupree

Journalists were kept away from a secret federal appeals court hearing on Friday in Washington, D.C., as officials sealed off an entire floor for arguments in a mysterious grand jury case which some believe could be related to the Special Counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

The case – known officially as “In re: Grand Jury Subpoena” – has been sealed in its entirety when it comes to public records, as it moved from the district court to the appeals court level in recent months. Reporters at the courthouse – which is just down the hill from the U.S. Capitol – at first tried to gather outside the courtroom where the secret arguments were going to take place, but then security officials sealed off the entire fifth floor of the building, making it nearly impossible to find out who was involved in the matter. “We have spread out across the building,” tweeted Darren Samuelsohn, a reporter for Politico. “No sightings yet to report of note.”

Somehow I picture a dead body in this courthouse as the only reason for a total block.

I don’t like the sound of this. If the Grand Jury members are typical liberal DC critters, it’ll never work to Trump’s advantage.

Under Rule 6(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, any court case involving a pending grand jury proceeding must be closed to the public. This appeal may have zero to do with Mueller; it may simply be a routine case involving a motion to quash a grand jury subpoena.

Can someone weld the doors shut? Stop food delivery, shut off the water and electrify?

What could be more “American” than secret courts executing political agendas.

Banana republic. Our founding fathers would have been shooting by now.

Baloney. They don’t evacuate the building and search the stairwells for reporters. They just close the door.

The latest tweet from Zoe:
And that’s a wrap, a court employee just walked out of the courtroom area and confirmed arguments on the sealed grand jury matter have ended. No sightings so far (there are ways for people to enter/exit the courthouse that are not public)

Mueller leaks every 5 seconds. The fact that the info hasn’t leaked suggests it’s not good for him.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if this is their attempt at the coup de gras to overturn the election. The deep state doesn’t care what we think...we just need to be quiet little tax slaves.”

If that’s the case, then all these critters (and their families) have targets on their backs.

My guess is that if the deep state leftist hacks get Trump prosecuted for anything, while continuing to run a protection racket for Illary and Zero and the other usual leftist suspects, things will get pretty darn hot pretty darn quick.

2nd Amendment displays will come into play, and for the reason it was instituted.
