This whole thread is full of absurd notions and utter falsehoods.
SCOTUS does not run grand juries.
SCOTUS doesn't have any powers to order an arrest and wouldn't be sending a warning with a threat of arrest to the White House since they have no power to back that up and that isn't in their lane or what they do.
One Justice can't force another to be recused, that must be done voluntarily.
The CIA doesn't brief any kind of judicial panel or body on intel for domestic cases. They wouldn't be briefing a grand jury if it existed and certainly wouldn't be briefing all or any members of the Supreme Court because there is no function of the court that would in any way require or need that. The CIA would brief either the executive branch, the FBI or maybe the US Attorney running an investigation if they had intelligence that was relevant and gathered in a way making it eligible for use in a domestic case. Then the US Attorney would take whatever was relevant to the grand jury.
Even a regular grand jury doesn't get direct briefings from an intel agency, they get given information that the US Attorney brings to them and presents to them. This mythical SCOTUS grand jury doesn't exist because there is no level status for it to exist and even if it did it still wouldn't be getting briefings from the CIA.
Seriously, there is nothing in this nonsense at all that has any credibility.
