A federal appeals court ruled that federal district judges don't have the power to make a grand jury's records public

The federal appeals court in Washington, DC, sided with grand jury secrecy on Friday, ruling that federal district judges don't have the power to make the grand jury's records public, even in historically significant cases.

The decision has major implications for the release of grand jury records -- especially at a moment when the lower federal court in Washington has been asked to make grand jury information related to the Mueller investigation public.

Grand jury testimony is simply a one sided diatribe by a prosecutor that is not challenged. The defendant and his attorney isn't even present. In other words, it is total crapola, especially when from Clinton Foundation lawyers working for Mueller and other FBI stoges.

Congress should specifically amend Rule 6(e) to grant explicit authority federal judges to release grandjury records, especially historic, when public interest merits. Amend6e

Ha Ha Ha! In your face Nadler, Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer!

Maybe because people need to be protected from politicians who can not handle the truth. Many people will suffer unjust scrutiny if grand jury testimony is released.

Doesn’t seem like anyone associated with Donny listen to Congress and the courts an no one can stop him while he shreds up the constitution 😢

That won’t stop the Democrats from demanding Grand Jury docs be released. Only Democrats are above the law

That doesn't sound like democracy.

Sooo does that apply to congress? I'll wait.. Oh I forgot this is probably fake news

AntiTrumpReport But to Congress is another story.

WTF has happened to the greatest country this Earth has ever known? It’s ridiculous that a ruling like this has to be made, considering our laws already protect grand jury records. Laws matter less and less, if at all, to certain effed factions.

Yeah, we know.

Democrats in major losing streak. Shows the effectiveness of the old hag majority house leader

김정은을 빨가 벗기고 협상하지 마라➡북한 내 핵무기 전부 미국으로 갖고 와라➡이런 강제협상 가능하겠는가➡ 전쟁은 적을 속이고 이기는 것이다. 군인이 전부 거짓말 쟁이 라는 것을 알고➡You Mr Trump는 협상하고 있지 않는냐.

So there's not another copy of this report laying around somewhere? What's the God damn problem!

LMAO! This is not news...this is the law!

Good!

'Friday's opinion 'says nothing about Congress and its access to the full Mueller report,' Deana El-Mallawany, counsel at Protect Democracy, said in a statement Friday.'

Court splits 2-1 in a closely watched case that could affect the release of special counsel's review.

Appeals Court in D.C. rules judges may not create exceptions to grand jury secrecy rules.

Nadler knew that and said so years ago...just a show for him

Appeals Court narrows path of disclosure of grand jury info in Mueller report.

A secret is a secret. Seems pretty straight forward.

RepJerryNadler RepAdamSchiff Subpoena Mueller and his team.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣to bad democrats

Wheres Julian Assange when you need him? Wouldn't it be awesome if the Mueller Report was leaked? The entire,un-redacted, original report!! Now, wouldn't that be something!?!

This does not, however, address that provision of Rule 6(e)(3), FRCrP, that has been interpreted by multiple courts as empowering district judges to order the release of GJ testimony to a congress considering impeachment procedings.

I believe there are exceptions. I don’t know the details of how you would get something to fall in that realm, but I’m sure a higher court will decide at some point.

Democrats knew that but they are pushing the false narrative again. It is the story of their party. The false narrative. Hope that normal Democrats can finally see the light.

Poor Democrats

LEAK, LEAK, LEAK, LEAK!!!

Why do people not realize Noone will be willing to serve. This puts individuals at potential risk.

But they can show all to Congress and redact to the public, right?

Really Uh oh look out criminals

But..but..orange man bad.

KTLA Well that's got to suck for all the 'Meuller-Time' demands .... what says you RepAdamSchiff

No Shift

What?!?!? Um unethical, shady, and immoral.

Bummer

They should and one day that would change. The can sell mug shots, criminal history etc. but they can’t be held accountable for unfair/biast judgement.oh no

And they’re off!! 🐎🐎🐎🐎SCOTUS here they come.

2 Republican AGs urge court to throw out Obamacare rulingRepublican attorneys general in Ohio and Montana are opposing a federal judge’s ruling that the entire Affordable Care Act should be thrown out, breaking with the Trump administration's recent decision to support the ruling If Obamacare is repealed millions of American's are going to suffer and probably die as they can't get treatment for pre existing conditions or get medication. Trump doesn't care if America has healthcare or not he just wants to destroy what a black man did. Just about anyone could come up with a better plan than Obamacare so it must be about the federal money they'll lose.
