Mystery Mueller mayhem at a Washington court
CNN Fake News ^ | 14 December 2018 | Katelyn Polantz, Laura Robinson, Em Steck and Sam Fossum

Fridays at the DC federal courthouse are typically days of high alert for the press corps trying to discern what special counsel Robert Mueller's next legal action will be. But this Friday, court officials went to extreme measures to ensure it was as difficult as possible to figure out what Mueller's team was doing as the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held a secret and mysterious argument about a grand jury subpoena challenge. An entire floor of the courthouse was closed to the public and press for more than an hour. During that time, attorneys secretly entered the courthouse to argue before three federal appellate judges over a grand jury subpoena.

The mystery of the subpoena appeal appears to date back to early September, when CNN witnessed several lawyers from Mueller's office entering a courtroom to argue against an unknown defense team before a trial-level judge who oversees federal grand jury-related cases.

Clearly, a challenge related to Mueller's grand jury investigation was underway.

Shortly after, that judge, Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the DC District Court, ruled on a case related to a grand jury subpoena, and the losing party attempted to appeal the ruling. The appellate court batted the case back down to Howell, who held a second sealed hearing on October 5. Though CNN was locked out of the courtroom while the arguments took place, the hearing featured the same team from Mueller's office as before, which included top criminal law appellate lawyer Michael Dreeben.

Mueller's office declined to comment on the hearings.

America is on the brink folks and I kid you not. No one has authority over the FBI and CIA and the Democrats are running wild. With a little luck I wont live to go through the turmoil that America faces but I have loved ones that will. Maybe the God Lord will decide to come back.

I am right there with you and am grateful I will not have to live through it (I think), but my kids and grandkids will. They are the generation that has sold out to the HARD LEFT COMMIES, so in a way they get the Government they elected.

I can’t claim to know anything but the “best fit” IMHO is as follows: one way to deal with Mueller is to get him disbarred for unethical behavior. If one were to do this the court where that disbarment would be heard is exactly this one. This theory could be full of crap for all I know but it could be “tig if brue”. Series.

The leftist reaction to his wrapping up the witch hunt against Flynn and Cohen has shown how "another planet" their (lack of) thinking is.

Disbarment would be handled by whatever Bar Association exists in DC, not by a court.

These guys are so corrupt that they can't even let the light of day shine on their shennanigans! Unbelievable!

Partner, you are so right saying that the Justice Department is very corrupt and the FBI are very corrupt.

We need to clean house in both the FBI and the Justice Department and we need to do it fast.

Did you ever notice ..... that in all the protests all over the globe all the rock throwers are right handed.

No southpaws out there throwing rocks. Why is that?

If you can throw with your left hand you are saving it for your career in baseball as a pitcher? Just guessing.

Ferris, many here probably think you are mad for posting this, but in fact you are the sanest man on FR.

You are absolutely correct. The Book of Revelation (God’s Holy Word) will be fulfilled. I don’t know when. But it will be.

Are the signs there? Yes. How close are we? I do not know.

But anyone who pays any attention to the news and world events can see what is happening - clearly happening.

If that is scary, then you don’t truly know Jesus Christ, and His promises.


Damascus must become desolate first- (Isaiah 17)

Sad as it is, what we’re all witnessing has been foretold in the Bible, in that mankind is not capable of governing himself (beyond the short term) due to his corrupt nature.

Also, I believe the antichrist comes out of Europe, so that probably means the US will not be the leading superpower it once was.

Our military strength is indisputable, so I believe we will experience an economic or natural catastrophe instead.

>>We need to clean house in both the FBI and the Justice Department and we need to do it fast.<<

It is interesting (for lack of a better word) how quickly the French Yellow Jackets managed to hit the streets by the tens of thousands to protest the ridiculous policies of their witless president, while here there is no hint of any large-scale street protests over the blatant criminality of the swamp creatures obstructing the President’s efforts to stop the invasion across our southern border, and their refusal to indict anyone connected to the Obama/Clinton crime cartel.
