An unknown company owned by a foreign government can proceed in filing a sealed request to ask the Supreme Court to consider its appeal of a Robert Mueller-linked grand jury subpoena, the court announced Tuesday. A redacted version of the request has been made available to the public.
The move will allow the unnamed firm reportedly a financial institution a chance at winning an appeal before the Supreme Court.
The mysterious company was ordered to file redacted versions of its court papers for the public record.
Little is known about the company in the case in question. A contempt order issued by a lower court that SCOTUS declined to block is forcing the firm to pay a fine of $50,000 per day as long as it refuses to comply with the grand jury subpoena.

(44,891 posts)1. How many appeals does this dark corp get?
It's not like anyone else would get so many breaks before the court.

himself because of the fact his son was Trumpolini's so-called personal banker at the financial institution facing an investigation.
However, a Supreme Court ruling is not going to protect the financial institution from a Congressional subpoena.

This is quite chilling.
The SCOTUS has already handed this "foreign company" a stunning victory by agreeing to hear their case in the dark-- under seal.
