Special Counsel Issues Indictment Against 13 Russian Nationals Over 2016 Election

These weren't Russian hackers, why are you bringing up Trump?

You and Trump are basically synonymous at this point. Years of defending his every action has that effect.

But Weismann went forward with the indictments anyway. So he either didn't learn anything in law school, or he didn't anticipate going to court. If you produce some indictments and you don't anticipate going to court, then the indictments were for show.

When someone did come for a trial, that is when we started seeing some odd behavior from the special counsel: the repeated attempts to get their own case delayed indefinitely. The first bit of reasoning that bought them 30 days was to tell the judge that because only the attorneys, and not members of Concord itself, appeared, the case not go to trial. Other delays popped up as needed, including these rolling appeals to keep everything locked away in the interests of national security. If you produce some indictments and have to be dragged into court to prosecute them and you go Fabian, then the indictments really were for show.

Because the indictments were for show, we can also call into question other parts of this document, particularly where they repeatedly claim they were acting in good faith. "Throughout, the government’s intent has been to prosecute this matter consistent with the interests of justice." hahaha yeh

Of course
What an amazing legal expertise.

In January 2019, the federal government accused Concord of violating a protective court order designed to safeguard information shared among lawyers on the case. Prosecutors said a trove of nonclassified information they had turned over to Concord’s defense team had turned up on a website the previous October.
A message on a newly created Twitter account read: “We’ve got access to the Special Counsel Mueller’s probe database as we hacked Russian server with info from the Russian troll case Concord LLC v. Mueller. You can view all the files Mueller had about the IRA and Russian collusion. Enjoy the reading!”

Mixed in with a hefty portion of irrelevant material, the prosecutors said, were more than a thousand files matching those the government had turned over to the defense team in an information-sharing process known as discovery. Government computers storing the files had not been hacked, prosecutors said, suggesting that the source of the information was the defendant.

The companies also failed to produce documents subpoenaed by prosecutors and ignored orders to send a representative to court to answer questions.

Testifying before Congress last summer, Mr. Mueller warned that the Russian effort to interfere with American presidential politics was still underway. “They’re doing it as we sit here,” he told the House Intelligence Committee. “And they expect to do it in the next campaign.”

@FriendlyFire "the federal government accused", did it? Was it a crime? Have they pressed charges? Did the judge find Concord or its counsel in contempt of court? Os is that just more propaganda in the media?

Do you know who the judge in this case has to threaten with contempt of the court if they didn't cease spreading false information? If you do now I will be happy to inform you.

Great if true. Serves these barbarians right. I wish it was possible to get disciplined by the bar association purely for being a dumbass.

Aaron Mate on dropping the indictments... Short version, DoJ doesn't want their 'evidence' to see the light of day because it sucks and they never planned on Russians actually making them prove their case.

Every action?
