Supreme Court agrees to hear case over secret materials in Mueller report
UPI ^ | July 2, 2020 | Don Jacobson

July 2 (UPI) -- The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a case in which congressional Democrats are seeking secret materials from the Justice Department's Russia investigation.

In orders issued by the court, justices added the high-profile case to their docket for the next term, granting a request made the Trump administration in May.

The court's decision means that unless it fast-tracks oral arguments in the case, the materials sought by Democrats are unlikely to be released until next year.

House Democrats are seeking access to the redacted portions of the report by former special counsel Robert Mueller, who led the investigation. They first went to court a year ago with the intention of using the information as part of their impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.

This is why we need to take back the house and keep the senate. If you want this crap to stop then we need to throw the Dems out.

Everything we’re seeing out of the Democrats right now can be summed up in one word

desperation

They’re trying to re-create 1968 with riots and looting and nonsensical demonstrations in the streets with their little college-educated Marxist puppets and that’s gonna be a complete and utter disaster for them

Black folks in particular are seriously waking up to the fact that they’ve been kept on the plantation by these Democrats come for generations now and are starting to realize that their way out is not welfare is not there Democrat puppet masters

Biden stupid is that idiot is actually when is far as to say” if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black “ and of course they just tried to quickly cover it up

Of course we have the ubiquitous piles everywhere saying that Biden is 50 points up everywhere and Trump should just give up and drop out of the race

On one of the liberal talk shows here in the bay area KGO 810 John Rothman he actually had I didn’t tire hour on speculation that Trump was going to drop out of the race

It’s getting funny kids and we haven’t even had the indictment start on the Russia conspirators

Trump has the Executive authority to declassify and release every page of the Mueller Report.

Just do it.

Post the entire report on the White House website.

It is “in the public interest,” which is the only legal factor that matters.

Just do it!

My guess is the redacted parts are sections related to active grand jury investigations. When released, if ever, I would expect a deflated, anticlimactic moment buried by the corporate media. The build-up will have them focused though because $$$ is in it and it fits their agenda.

"Biden stupid is that idiot is actually when is far as to say” if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black “ "

You shouldn't put anything in quotes if it is NOT a quote. You are just paraphrasing what he said. Plus, you really should proofread what you write. This is what he said, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black," Biden said Friday morning. 'May 22, 2020'

Roberts will collude with the Demonrats to give them ANYTHING THEY WANT. They own his miserable hide, somehow, someway. Maybe he’s a closeted homosexual, I don’t know, but they own him, lock, stock and barrel.

The Court of Appeals agreed to the release of the Grand Jury transcripts. Having at least four Justices who agreed to accept the case is a huge win for the Trump administration.

The court also refused to fast track the case so it won’t be heard until after the election in November. If the Republicans take back the house, the new committee will submit a motion and order to dismiss the case entirely.
