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

Posted on 12/23/2018 7:17:38 PM PST by digger48

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:

I am thinking the same thing.

But we need more info.

In the near future, we will see how Mr Whitaker handles it.

Yes, that’s me in #3. For referencing a particular letter of the alphabet.

Did I miss the breakdown of the decision.

How did the Court rule?

This is ‘what they don’t want you to know about’.

You know that I’m referring to the FISA abuses that have gone unpunished. Who watches the watchmen?

The stay is linked on Vladecks twitter feed

Signed only by Roberts

Seems all this does is stay the contempt ruling until the DOJ responds to the Court by Dec. 31.

Sounds like Roberts could also reimpose the contempt after that point, depending on the response

Is making a ruling on a Sunday unusual? I would certainly think so.

Mueller will never get Trump.

Mueller could indict and arrest Trump.

The Congress could impeach Trump.

Mueller could waterboard Trump 24/7 at Guantanamo for three months before 2020 election.

On January 2021 Donald Trump will be sworn in for his 2nd term.

If it’s not the first case so sealed, could it be that BHO’s pardons of Hillary and Bill Clinton would have been accomplished earlier?

2, it ruled in favor of a foreign company and against American prosecutors (even if they are Mueller’s team).

Possibly Huawei CFO Wanzhou Meng who is suspected of conspiracy to defraud multiple financial US institutions?

FReegards!

Yes. Roberts is a controlled asset of the deep state. The truth will come out when the FISA declassified happens and the corruption of the FISA court judges are exposed. Roberts is involved.

Wouldn’t be in Mueller’s jurisdiction unless it has been hugely expanded.

Chase claimed insanity and beat the conviction. His was an interesting story and the acquittal was just the end of a long chain of attacks and ploys made by his political adversaries.

Supreme Court justices are not chosen because they are left or right, but because they are pro-donor, i.e. the businesses that lobby “our” representatives in Congress.
