Secret hold restricts DOJ's bid to access phone of Trump ally Rep. Scott Perry

A federal appeals court panel has put a secret hold on the Justice Department’s effort to access the phone of Rep. Scott Perry as part of a broader probe of efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to subvert the 2020 election.

In a sealed order issued earlier this month, the three-judge panel temporarily blocked a lower-court ruling that granted prosecutors access to Perry’s communications. The Dec. 28 ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell was the product of a secret, monthslong legal battle by prosecutors who have been fighting the Pennsylvania Republican’s attorneys on the matter since August.

Three Republican judges including two appointed by Trump going in to bat for Trumps insurrection lies. It doesn't get any swampier than this. They should have been required to recuse if they had any ethics at all. Corrupt to the core.

 The court system in that country is a joke. Very reminiscent of that of Thailand
