    Exclamation Trump's SCOTUS Sides With Mueller

    Refusing to hear from the mysterious company fighting the Mueller probe.



    https://www.politico.com/story/2019/...-fight-1088050
    The Supreme Court has declined to intervene in a mysterious subpoena fight that apparently involved an unidentified foreign-government-owned company and special counsel Robert Mueller.
    Last month, the unknown firm asked the high court to block a federal judge’s contempt order and $50,000-a-day penalty for refusing to comply with the subpoena, arguing that the company is immune from U.S. grand jury subpoenas. The company also insisted that complying with the subpoena would violate the law in the firm’s home country.

    But on Tuesday, the Supreme Court turned down the company’s request to step into the dispute, at least for now. The order in the case came a little more than two weeks after Chief Justice John Roberts put a temporary freeze on the contempt order and the sanctions.
    The court’s order Tuesday offered no explanation for its decision and no justice publicly signaled any dissent. The high court did indicate that Roberts referred the issue to the full court and that the short-term stay he ordered last month was now dissolved.
    Many details about the case have been shrouded in secrecy.

    Uh, this isn't a win for Trump, you know.

    If the stay was dissolved, the foreign company now has to comply with the subpoena or pay $50k/day in penalties.

    That's such good news!!!

    Very bizarre story.

    Apparently Judge Roberts had placed a freeze on the $50,000/day fine that had been imposed by a lower court judge. That freeze has now been lifted.

    But we still have no idea who the company is. Or what country they are from. Or what records or persons Mueller may be after. And as a bonus mystery nobody knows if the fines can even be collected.


    "The high court’s action on Tuesday means the monetary sanctions against the firm are likely to kick in unless it complies with the demand for records. While the appeals court insisted the firm was liable for the penalty, the judges acknowledged some uncertainty about whether it could be collected.
    “Whether and how that order can be enforced by execution is a question for a later day,” the D.C. Circuit opinion says."

    Why? Who's going to enforce it?
