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…

In the wake of yesterday's contentious hearing involving Concord in the Russian troll farm case, Concord's lawyers are STILL AT IT, in a new filing that could be one sentence and instead is four pages: documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
Here's @ZoeTillman on yesterday's hearing: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Concord's lawyers say that Judge Dabney Friedrich created "at a minimum an appearance of bias or prejudice in favor of the government" yesterday.

#SCOTUS, Jan. 8, 2019. With most of the sights in DC shut down, the Supreme Court is drawing a big crowd even for relatively low-profile cases.
It's a one-box Tuesday here at #SCOTUS, meaning one or two decisions in argued cases should be coming at 10a.
The first decision is Justice Kavanaugh's first majority opinion, in Henry Schein, Inc. v Archer & White Sales, Inc., vacating the 5th Circuit in an arbitration case. The decision was unanimous. #SCOTUS

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

THREAD: What should we make of Stormy Daniels' defamation lawsuit against Trump?
1/ Now that Daniels' main lawsuit against Trump is frozen for at least 90 days, Daniels filed a lawsuit suing Trump for defamation, claiming that Trump defamed her by calling her allegations about being threatened (and the sketch she released of her assailant) were a "con job."
2/ You can sue someone for defamation when they carelessly make a false statement about you in public that damages you. Certain types of lies, such as lying about you committing a crime, are presumed to be damaging.
