A list of unindicted alleged co-conspirators in the George Washington Bridge scandal won't be released until "John Doe," an anonymous person on the list, gets his day in court next month.

The U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday granted a stay on Doe's last-ditch motion to prevent the federal government from listing the people allegedly involved, but not charged, in the politically-motivated bridge shutdowns of 2013.

Doe's case will be heard in Philadelphia on June 6, enough time to "allow a full panel of this Court the opportunity to consider the merits of this case." Attorneys for both Doe and a coalition of media outlets, who sued to have the names released, must file briefs arguing whether the hearing should be open to the public, according to the court order.

It's the second delay in five days since U.S. Judge Susan Wigenton ordered the federal government to hand over the list of names.

1. Kristie Kream is desperate to keep his name out of this

It might mess up his chance to be the Drumpenfuhrer's VP. After all checking the "un-indicted co-conspirator" box on a VP vetting form doesn't look good.

2. Was the Third Circuit supposed to rule on the petition over the weekend?

The district court had already denied the John Doe motion, which was appealed to the Third Circuit yesterday.

What, in anyone's mind, is the district court supposed to do?
