BREAKING: Supreme Court denies the foreign country-owned company's request to stay a contempt order resulting from its refusal to comply with a grand jury's subpoena. Chief Justice Roberts' "administrative stay" is vacated, so the result is the contempt order is back in effect.
That order of the court follows this request, made Monday but put on the docket today, to file a cert petition in the case under seal. Not clear what will happen with that now, but the contempt order (and associated fines) will now be back in place.
REDACTED DOCUMENT: Here's the redacted motion at SCOTUS, noted previously, of what appears to be the foreign-owned company seeking to file its petition for certiorari in the grand jury dispute under seal. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

No reason cited for the delay.

See below and also my mentions in response to the linked tweet for possible explanations for the delay.

#BREAKING

James Brennan, Donna Duggan, Conor O”Brien, Cindy Laporta, and Dennis Raico are the FIVE WITNESSES for whom Mueller sought immunity.

The judge has granted immunity.

Has the judge has also compelled them to testify, since they were refusing?

🛑BREAKING🛑

Paul Manafort is TOAST‼️

OK, that's not really "breaking news," but the fact that the EDVA judge just granted #immunity to FIVE witnesses in exchange for their testimony is REALLY bad news for Paulie Walnuts, whose (first) trial starts July 25.😎

#MuellerTime
As for the identity of these **FIVE witnesses** who got #immunity deals (meaning: they likely had legal culpability, but avoid being prosecuted), here are my best guesses:

1) Jeffrey Yohai
2) Steven Calk
3) Tony Podesta
4) Vin Weber
5) ?

Details here👇🏼
My best guess for Witnessl #5 is former Obama WH counsel, Gregory Craig, who wrote the Tymoshenko report that Vin Weber & Tony Podesta used to lobby US lawmakers to justify the unjust IMPRISONMENT of anti-#Russia🇷🇺Tymoshenko by the Ukraine govt.🤔
