WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a bid by an unidentified company owned by a foreign government to contest a grand jury subpoena related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s now-completed inquiry into Russia’s role in the 2016 election, though the justices’ action does not force the firm to comply.
Mueller submitted a final report on his findings to U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Friday. On Sunday, Barr said Mueller did not find a conspiracy between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.The case has remained a high-profile mystery, with the Supreme Court and lower courts declining to identify the company, the country that owns it or the specific purpose of the subpoena. The company has said it was a witness - as opposed to a suspect - in Mueller’s investigation.
The Supreme Court in January refused to put the lower court ruling on hold. According to court filings, the daily fine imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell started accruing on Jan. 15. Such fines accrue until the grand jury is no longer sitting. It is unknown whether the grand jury has completed its work.FOREIGN SOVEREIGN IMMUNITIES ACT
Lawyers for the company said in the court papers the lower court ruling it is contesting “would wreak havoc on American foreign policy - possibly alienating U.S. allies, undermining diplomatic efforts, and inviting reciprocal treatment abroad for American agencies.”

Supreme Court won’t hear appeal from company resisting Mueller subpoenaThe foreign-owned corporation faces daily fines for not cooperating with grand jury. I don't get this either. Although I always knew nothing would be done to Trump. The US President is above the law while in office, so folks, elections matter a hell of lot more than you think. Unless he actually commits treason, he is safe from all till he is out. Something seems fishy...if there is still an ongoing legal battle about this, how can the MuellerReport be complete? A day late, a dollar short, no?

U.S. top court hands defeat to Hawaii B&B that spurned lesbian coupleThe U.S. Supreme Court handed a defeat on Monday to a bed and breakfast owner in... Looks like either hypocrisy or a Christian witch hunt . No on complains when Muslims don’t serve pork or Hindus don’t sever beef etc . And looks like the LGBTQS are getting a kick out of it by targeting Christians. It’s funny how you fight for one’s rights by crushing another’s. Soon cannibals are going to claim their right to eat you. And the beat goes on I run a B&B in Maitland Nova Scotia. It's called 'Cresthaven By the Sea' (check us out on facebook pics and videos) If you got money and you're cool, you're welcome here. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.
