Something major is going down right now in Robert Mueller’s sealed grand jury case
Even with the increasingly large bombshells that have begun dropping in Donald Trump’s criminal scandals, one mysterious storyline has been lurking in the background that has the potential to deliver the biggest bombshell at all – if only we knew precisely what it is. The DC Circuit of Appeals has been giving unprecedented priority to a sealed grand jury case involving Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and it’s playing out in court this morning.
Considering the extent to which the court has bent over backward to move this grand jury case along expeditiously, and the safeguards being put in place to keep it secret, there is reason to expect that this is one of the key pieces in Robert Mueller’s strategy to take Donald Trump down. Is it a sealed grand jury indictment against Trump himself? If not, it has to be something just as crucial. But a few very small hints are dropping as we speak.
For instance Zoe Tillman from BuzzFeed is at the courthouse, and she tweeted this: “They’ve sealed not only the courtroom, but the whole floor.” So that erases any remaining doubt that this is one of the biggest and most secretive court hearings in the nation’s history.
Here’s the upshot: whatever is happening right now is major. If Robert Mueller gets the ruling he’s looking for, considering how quickly things are now moving in the case against Trump, we could see Mueller act on this ruling immediately. Or this could be the kind of ruling that gives Mueller what he needs to take Trump down, but he can’t make the move just yet. Stay tuned, because at least some more small details should leak out of the courthouse today.
