Mueller's Indictment Of Russian Company Is Facing Dismissal Over Legal Incompetence
2018-05-15
h/t Red State
I’ve posted a couple of times on the fiasco that is brewing in federal court in Virginia where Robert Mueller’s crack team are getting ready to have to prosecute at least one, and possibly two, cases they never thought would see the light of day. To recap, under pressure to show he was doing something vaguely related to his charter, Robert Mueller engineered the indictments of three Russian companies, one of which was not even in existence during the 2016 election, and thirteen Russian nationals who we are told exist. I say "told exist" because if you can’t get the existence of a whole company right, you lose the ability to convince me you know the names of individual Russian hackers and have me not laugh.

The first fly in the ointment appeared when one of the defendants, Concord Management and Consulting, retained US counsel. Then the counsel showed up in court and they were not overawed by Mueller. In fact, they had an extensive list of items they were demanding under discovery. This will probably, in the fullness of time, place Mueller in the unenviable position of either producing classified information for the defense or dropping the case.

But wait, there’s more.

#13  DB, it is starting to look that Mueller is running on the theory that "...if you throw enough dynamite in a pond you'll get some fish."
With our current astronomical number of administrative happy horsepuckey regulations there is always something to charge someone if you want a victim.

#12  There was no collusion and there was no obstruction of justice. He has to show something for this clown show so he's going after Trump people.

#11  I wonder if Mueller realized he had nothing and so arranged this as a way to bust up the case that will give the conspiracy left something to cling with after the case is gone.

#4  You have to ask yourself ( and we all do ) just what will Mueller DO when this is all over ( and it WILL be, it always is ) ? What will Mueller be doing for the rest of his glorious Career?

Brilliant man that he is. And strapping the weight ( the entire weight ) of hs future to the wheel of "Russian Collusion" ( rhymes with colossal ILLUSION ) and the faithful alliance to Hillary Clinton (excuses ) and her prospects ( such as they are).

And the faithful servitor of the Democratic party, what will he DO in the years to come when his memory is tied ( nose to buut hole ) with the General Cornpone's Disaster of his witch hunt /

Desperation is when you can't think of anything except what will happen to you when you go down the drain and its dark down there and the toilet flushing is all that fills your ears
