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:

“A mystery grand jury issues a mystery contempt order against a mystery foreign company for violating a mystery subpoena for not turning over mystery information.”

Ten years ago I would have said you were insane by the statement above. YOU ARE NOT INSANE!

The present debauchery of our Constitution will end in whimpering obeisance or deadly violence from the people.

Is the case is sealed, the defendant is a secret, the proceedings are secret and the whole thing is sealed up... then how are they able to give blow by blow reporting on the progress of it?

I don’t know.

On the one hand, it’s Mueller. And if the Supreme Court is reigning in Mueller, that’s a good thing.

On the other hand, did they just side with a foreign company like they sided with illegal aliens?

And the ideological split is the opposite of what I would have expected.

It’s all speculation without any facts.

I am starting to view sealed court documents as a strong net negative.

Wow, this is truly bizarre.

I pray DOJ has a handle on this.

I feel that this is ALL Mueller’s nefarious doings.

contrast, Roberts told anyone that asked how highly he regarded Barack Obama.
BECAUSE OBAMA let him know about Roberts illegal acquiring of his adopted child and in turn Roberts gave us obamacare. criminal buddies

"Other sources which proved true in regard to Roberts say he speaks about rhe Govt only having to survive Trump.'

__________________

Not that I don't believe you, but just who may those "sources" be with regard to Roberts?

Personally, I have always felt that he was a frightened, black-mailed punk. I can see it in his face.

What we need is sunlight and a lot of it.

Immediately followed by tar, feathers, rope and lots of sturdy and high tree branches.

In the spirit of our Founding Fathers, of course.

So why can’t Trump investigate Roberts over this blackmail issue? Trump is President not Obama. Why not get it in the open and be done with it.

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

This is like "Alien vs Predator". I'm not sure who's the good guy here.
