Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts paused a lower court order that would have forced the Justice Department to provide secret grand jury materials to Congress next week.
On Friday, the high court granted a request from the Trump administration to pause an appeals court decision requiring the Justice Department to provide grand jury documents to the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee.
The order, signed by Roberts, gave the congressional committee until May 18 to file its response.
In the absence of the Supreme Court's order, the DOJ would have been required to give lawmakers on Monday secret grand jury materials produced during special prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
DOJ Solicitor General Noel Francisco placed the request on Thursday to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to weigh in on a case that would pose "substantial constitutional difficulties." Additionally, the DOJ argued that breaching grand jury secrecy could have severe consequences for future witnesses wishing to testify.

They'll find out soon enough, the nosy parkers.
Their lawyers can tell them in the courtroom.
Is this good or bad then?
Good. Wont give them time to lie about them, and then leak the lies to their accomplices in the press.
It simply halts it until the courts can hear the lawsuit.
Good. Tomorrow’s “woo-woooo!” mega focus attack media “news” will be on SCOTUS review on Trumps tax filings. NYState and/or wherever Cy Vance, Jr is located (can’t recall, don’t think this is the Southern District of New York, DOJ).
How three separate cases on his shielding his tax returns from the Nads-less Nadler and the House, made it to SCOTUS is anybody’s guess. But the “woo woo” is high— pissing their pants at CNN “the stakes couldn’t be higher”.
Trump’s business accounting firm-— NOT going to release them.it has ZERO to do with anything— except trying to perpetuate russia russia because he refurbed a resort and sold it to a .... shock russian oligarch. Big woop.
Roberts is covering for his fellow swamp creatures.
Yes— cause obamauamo I—— the obi-won-kenyobi, still has
the blackmail on Roberts that was applied to get the sudden reversal on the “obamacare” mandate is a tax. Obamaumao and his minions still dangling.
What would be good is for those who can (since indeed Roberts appoints the FISA court judges, and “has a hand” in the charade that is FISAgate as a result as well) to visit with Roberts and tell him... “we know, and you’ve done nothing wrong-— let’s get this kenyan monkey off your back, and allow your Irish born adopted children to grow up in love and honor.” Something like that.
Unless he really is deep state (cause I always remember where he went right after the ACA reversal ruling-— he took off for a “society” meeting in.... Malta! Furtive video and photos of him-— trying not to be seen. A wonderment-—somewhat medieval. Still wonder about it.
What WAS in that briefcase?
There ya go! Thanks, gonna save that one. What is that white cross logo? Knights of Malta? No-—i got it now— it’s a Maltese Cross. The symbol of the Knights Hospitaler, ie. The Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem.
Only continuing in Malta, which this logo is on their headquarters there... as the Military Corps of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta/ So he’s a Knight of Justice?
There is a certain synchronicity to that— the “Hospitaler” whose for obamaumaocare socialized public health system, which bankrupted the Hospitalers and, if allowed to continue in the US will bankrupt us, before the demonrats do.
The devil never quits, even when he knows the end of the matter.
Did a little digging -— the 80th Grand Master just died, and was buried last week. Testimonial of thanks from the President of Italy for his help in covid, and special blessing from Pope Francis (his peculiar self).
Grand Master, Fra Giacomo Dalla Torre del Tempio di Sanguinetto
Truth, Forsooth! Facts being sticky commodities. Yes— their lawyers can tell them all they’ll need to know. Prayers for their “liberation” from the reins of power. No more.
If Roberts gives the Democrats that SECRET Grand Jury stuff, then he will be the WORSE SCJ EVER!
Pandemic=DEM PANIC!
Grand Jury Mueller redacts.... not going to happen. It would throw the entire Grand Jury procedural time tested only correct way to do things.... right out the window, and begin Napoleonic Code types of “investigations for indictments”. By citoyen j’accuse! No cross reference or protection of facts, methods and means based on our Constitution.
the demonrats love this... it is part of “democracy”— ie. the mob in the streets.
As to the tax returns which is the big play today by nads-less et al... they won’t be obtained, for the simple reason that annually Trump and Trump, Inc are under IRS Audit. Sort of like large corporations, Boeing, Pfizer.... they all have separate buildings at IRS to conduct the quarterly audit. Not subject under normal privacy laws to... exposure to Congress. But apparently obi-won-kenyobi like FDR and other lefties.... routinely got a hold of private conservative and other tax returns. For obambi... the abuse was of conservative non-profits, a huge human rights abuse all his own.
