BREAKING: SCOTUS Halts Contempt Order For Mysterious Foreign Company Subpoenaed By Mueller Team
Townhall ^ | 12/23/2018 | Beth Baumann

The Supreme Court on Sunday issued a temporary halt to contempt charges brought against a mysterious foreign company. The company was having a fight over a mysterious grand jury subpoena related to the Mueller probe.

On Saturday, the foreign company filed a formal application with the Supreme Court asking them to review the case, the Washington Times reported. An Appellate Court previously ruled that the company must comply with the subpoena or they'd be held in contempt. For every week that they were held in contempt they would have to pay $5,000.

According to legal expert Steve Vladeck, this might be the first Supreme Court case that would be sealed:

John Roberts hates Trump. Mark my words. Other sources which proved true in regard to Roberts say he speaks about rhe Govt only having to survive Trump. In contrast, Roberts told anyone that asked how highly he regarded Barack Obama.

I bet he didn't hate Trump before he beat out Rodham Clintoon for the presidency. That hate is going to eat him up inside. -

My prediction; Justice Roberts will be impeached.

On what grounds will a Dem House and a Rep Senate impeach Roberts?

Like minds. It’s coming. Prolly resigns first. He’s cowed by something or someone.

"My prediction; Justice Roberts will be impeached."

Exactly one US Supreme Court justice in history has been impeached by the House, and he (Samuel Chase, 1804-05) was not convicted/removed by the Senate.

The chances that Roberts will be impeached and removed? Very very very slim to none.....

This sounds good, if I’m interpreting it correctly.

Appears to be a rebuke to Mueller’s Nazis.

It suggests that SCOTUS struck down, at least for now, contempt against a company for not complying with Herr Mueller’s orders. Could be good.

secret courts and now this garbage: sealed subpoenas going all the way to SCOTUS. What we need is sunlight and a lot of it.

All court cases involving grand jury subpoenas are sealed. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e)(5).

There is so little info about this case.

It appears that Mueller is again stepping out of bounds.

I look forward to seeing AAG Whitaker NOT going forward with the case. I pray he makes the correct decision.

I would love to be sure that Mueller’s days are numbered.

From what I’m seeing, this was a loss (at least for now) for the bad guys. Having Kavanaugh on there may have helped.

it ruled in favor of illegal aliens, against the interests of Americans by upholding the stay on the President’s action to keep asylum applicants outside the country

This is not what the Supreme Court did. They ruled in favor of the Judiciary and told DOJ that they had to wait until the courts have considered the case. The Circuit Court will have to hear the arguments and decide on the merits.

Yet there must be some legal authority that he has to answer to, right?

It can’t be like a president waiting until he’s out of office, since a USSC Justice has a lifetime appointment, right?

I mean, one would think...
