Fridays at the DC federal courthouse are typically days of high alert for the press corps trying to discern what special counsel Robert Mueller's next legal action will be.

But this Friday, court officials went to extreme measures to ensure it was as difficult as possible to figure out what Mueller's team was doing as the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held a secret and mysterious argument about a grand jury subpoena challenge.

An entire floor of the courthouse was closed to the public and press for more than an hour. During that time, attorneys secretly entered the courthouse to argue before three federal appellate judges over a grand jury subpoena.

The mystery of the subpoena appeal appears to date back to early September, when CNN witnessed several lawyers from Mueller's office entering a courtroom to argue against an unknown defense team before a trial-level judge who oversees federal grand jury-related cases.

2. What it's worth is pretty much nothing.

Mensch has no clue. She just throws the pasta at the wall to see if it sticks. If not, nobody remembers. If so, she wins.

I would never listen to anything she has to say.

3. Oh noes. Mother Pence's treasonous KGOP republican husband?

freaking republican traitors are a disgrace

5. That image.

Puritanism is alive and well in the 21st century United States.

Kind of unfinished.

7. Pence is a standard issue GOP mannequin, right down to the haircut. Fake human. nt

4. LOL! It's worth about as much as her "Marshal of the Supreme Court" scoop in 2017.
