More details surface about Robert Mueller’s mystery grand jury court hearing
This morning a court hearing took place in the ongoing, yet super secret, grand jury proceedings that have long appeared to involve Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team and their investigation into Donald Trump’s criminal scandals. Security was so tight for these proceedings that reporters on site said the entire floor was cleared beforehand. But now a few details have surfaced about the proceedings.
This sentence from CNN should scare the crap out of whoever is being targeted: “About 10 minutes after the court activity appeared to wrap for the day, a black Justice Department car rolled into Mueller’s office building, bringing attorneys including [Michael] Dreeben and Zainab Ahmad back to their home base.” Dreeben is Mueller’s top appellate court attorney, which makes sense, as this is an appeals court case. Ahmad is another matter.
When Robert Mueller assembled his team, he chose prosecutors who have varying specialties, in order to pursue the various alleged crimes involved. Zainab Ahmad is known for her background in prosecuting cases involving cyber crime and – get this – terrorism. Here’s the thing. This case is being treated as such a big deal by the court, and such a top secret, it has to involve a target who is a huge prosecutorial priority for the United States. That makes for a rather short list.
Various observers have floated a few theories, all of them valid. Is Robert Mueller attempting to unseal a grand jury indictment against Donald Trump or Mike Pence? Is he seeking an arrest warrant for one of Trump’s kids? Then again, considering the focus on cyber terrorism, is Mueller attempting to extradite Julian Assange based on an existing sealed indictment? Anything short of something this big, and the DC Court of Appeals wouldn’t be bending over backward like this.
