Newly unsealed documents confirm that the mystery grand jury case relates to records sought by the Special Counsel’s Office (as Politico reported ages ago based on an overheard remark in the DC courthouse) and specifically the Russia/collusion investigation. 
Here’s a link, via @ZoeTillman. dcd.uscourts.gov/sites/dcd/file…
Not in my interest to say it, but I don’t know why this form of redaction—which doesn’t disclose the length of the redacted text—isn’t a more standard practice.
An interesting phrase, written by the SCO to the mystery foreign govt-owned company’s counsel over 7 months ago:
There is a very closely held document, secret even to the mysterious foreign govt owned company, that persuaded the DC Court that something about that mystery company’s commercial activities in the US “is part of” the Special Counsel’s Russia/collusion investigation.
More details on this secret doc and the underlying subpoena. The court says the subpoena “cannot be faulted for insufficient specificity” ruling out a sort of fishing expedition type request to search this company’s files.
Intriguingly, even though its request relates somehow to the mystery company’s commercial activities in the US, “the SCO doesn’t argue” that the information it’s looking for originated in the US.
