No, that is one federal statute regarding obstruction, not all of them. I was thinking more of this one.
After a judge had ordered a grand juror to keep his mouth shut to avoid compromising an ongoing investigation. For instance when
(4) Sealed Indictment. The magistrate judge to whom an indictment is returned may direct that the indictment be kept secret until the defendant is in custody or has been released pending trial. The clerk must then seal the indictment, and no person may disclose the indictment’s existence except as necessary to issue or execute a warrant or summons.
(5) Closed Hearing. Subject to any right to an open hearing in a contempt proceeding, the court must close any hearing to the extent necessary to prevent disclosure of a matter occurring before a grand jury.
(6) Sealed Records. Records, orders, and subpoenas relating to grand-jury proceedings must be kept under seal to the extent and as long as necessary to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of a matter occurring before a grand jury.
(7) Contempt. A knowing violation of Rule 6, or of any guidelines jointly issued by the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence under Rule 6, may be punished as a contempt of court.
Have any examples of judges ordering witnesses before a grand jury to not disclose whether they have appeared?
Do you have any examples of a grand jury witness being prosecuted for merely disclosing they appeared before a grand jury?
I already did my cardio for the day. Retrace your steps. lol
there was no collusion identified in the report
please look away from tv idiot news and see the light
In other words, no…
Read as we have no date for the release of this supposed investigation.
I was thinking more the 12th of never.
In other words, you’re moving goalposts. 
“Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Rick Gates shared internal campaign polling data periodically with a Russian spy, Konstantin Kilimnik. “In accordance with Manafort’s instruction, [Gates] periodically sent Kilimnik polling data via WhatsApp; Gates then deleted the communications on a daily basis.” “Manafort expected Kilimnik to share that information with … Deripaska ,” a Russian oligarch closely aligned with Vladimir Putin. “Manafort noted that if Trump won, Deripaska would want to use Manafort to advance whatever interests Deripaska had in the United States and elsewhere.”
Collusion.

What? Why are you saying that Fox News won’t mention it?
I’m not the one suddenly shifting from Obstruction of criminal investigations to Obstruction of court orders… Now, have any examples of judges ORDERING federal grand jury witnesses not to disclose their appearance before a federal grand jury?

Yes you are. You initiated this exchange, and now you’re stuck on me, hoping to validate those moving goalposts. 
If you were asking an actual question, you’d be asking a search engine.
Are you referring to oranges or origins?
Nah… I just find it amusing how the double top secret FISA investigation doesn’t appear to have produced one grand jury appearance… Keep hope alive…
No goal posts have been moved. Zantac made a claim and has failed back it up. He tried with a post that described the testimony but not the fact of appearing.
Some don’t seem to get that distinction.
Do y’all really believe these people are going to tell on each other to us?
