Stairwells. this is the report from darren samuelsohn at politico this morning from the federal courthouse in washington, d.c. what all those reporters were looking for was a glimpse of someone from special counsel robert mueller s team heading into that courtroom to argue a sealed mystery case before those appellate judges. and maybe a glimpse of whoever mueller s deep was arguing against in that case. because as it stands, all we know is that there has been this sealed mystery case unfolding for months in federal court. and thanks to some excellent reporting from politico, we know that it appears to be the special counsel s office locked in a battle with a resistant grand jury witness. we don t know who the witness is or what the fight is about, but we do know that the case has been going back and forth between the district and appeals courts on a miraculously expedited schedule, suggesting that whatever this case is, the courts are inclined to move other things out of the way in ord ....
