Appeals court refuses to stay the subpoena against Roger Stone associate Andrew Miller.

He has no appeal left except to the Supreme Court.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/appeals-court-refuses-to-stay-mueller-grand-jury-subpoena-for-roger-stone-associate-andrew-miller/2019/05/21/98117366-7c1f-11e9-8bb7-0fc796cf2ec0_story.html?utm_term=.f65305465913

A federal appeals court Tuesday refused to block a grand jury subpoena for testimony by Roger Stone associate Andrew Miller in an investigation launched by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, clearing the way for a final appeal to the Supreme Court in the long-running legal dispute.

Miller was subpoenaed in June 2018 in Mueller’s probe for information about longtime Trump friend and GOP operative Stone, as well as key figures in the 2016 hacking and public release of Democratic Party emails, including by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, led by Julian Assange.

Miller was also ordered to answer questions before a grand jury about Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks, entities that U.S. prosecutors have alleged were online fronts invented by Russian intelligence operatives to spread the hacked documents before the 2016 presidential election.

The three-judge panel gave Miller seven days to persuade the Supreme Court to take the case.

If he fails, or the high court rules against him, Miller faces an August contempt finding by U.S. District Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell of Washington for refusing to testify, an order that would leave him facing jail if he continues to decline to appear.

We'll see. I doubt he'll go to jail for Trump. He has 7 days for SCOTUS to take his appeal. nt pnwmom May 2019 #2
