Odd order just out from the Supreme Court in Tribune bankruptcy case indicating there isn't a quorum
The law governing lack of a Supreme Court quorum:
So ... it seems like the court wanted to GVR in light of the Merit Management ruling but doesn't have the required votes (likely due to conflicts) so has issued this statement to try to effectively get the same result?
per @FixTheCourt, 7 justices are recused:

The mystery grand jury case -- which a lot of people think has something to do with the Mueller probe -- has now got to the Supreme Court in the form of an emergency application filed with the chief justice by unknown foreign company that lost below:
supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?Fi…
The company, which is owned by a foreign government, is seeking to quash a subpoena but has so far failed in district court and at the appeals court. We know nothing else about the case as it is under seal
Strikes me that in an age of conspiracy theories, this mysterious case isn’t helping much

The Lawfare blog has come out in defense of the FISA warrants. What to Make of the Carter Page FISA Applications lawfareblog.com/what-make-cart… It’s pretty weak tea.
It begins by reviewing the history leading up to the release of the applications, verifications and warrants, including the Nunes and Dem memos. It goes without saying that they defend the Democrat version since they are leftists themselves.

THREAD: a #bankruptcy case in Los Angeles may lead to MORE charges against #Manafort, including BANKRUPTCY FRAUD‼️

Mueller is focusing on Jeffrey Yohai, Manafort’s fmr son-in-law & partner, as a potentially valuable witness.🤣😂🤣 1/

This is bit confusing, so I will try to break it down.🤓

In early 2017, Manafort’s company got a loan against a NY home from Genesis Capital LLC. Genesis ALSO was the top secured creditor (gave biggest loan) in the bankruptcies of the 4 houses in LA partnered w/Yohai.🤔 3/
