A Russian consulting firm indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller plans to ask a U.S. court to allow it to share information that the U.S. government considers "sensitive.”
In a joint scheduling motion filed on Tuesday, the firm, Concord Management and Consulting, LLC, said it plans to argue that the information should be shared with Concord officers or employees, and that the judge's decision on the matter will "significantly affect the defense position to how it can proceed."
**SNIP**
The handling of sensitive U.S. government information has long been a sticking point in the case. In October, ABC News reported that legal and national security experts were concerned the Russian government may be attempting to use the normal discovery process, in which the accused is given relevant information in order to mount their defense, to gather intelligence about Mueller's investigation and reveal other U.S. secrets – a twist on an old espionage and legal tactic known as graymail.

I have no idea why they’re even concerned or talking - they only have legal representation in this country as I recall - so tell the courts to go pound sand. The defendants themselves are in Russia and should stay there.
This is the American fake legal system. You are not allowed to defend yourself.
If you can’t share the proof, then you have to dismiss the charges .... we don’t run Stalin secret courts here.
“If you can’t share the proof, then you have to dismiss the charges .... we don’t run Stalin secret courts here.”
Have you been paying attention lately?
Mueller didn’t expect one of these Russian companies to defend itself and that gamble failed.
Now they get to have their day in court and if Mueller won’t abide by the rules then he has no choice but to withdraw the indictment and then give credence to the fact that this whole investigation is BS.
I just hope mine isn’t!
One big mistake that was made when the country was founded was copying the British legal system.
If Mueller didn’t want to disclose his evidence during discovery then he shouldn’t have indicted these Russians. Due process is supposed to apply to anyone dragged into a U.S. court.
They destroyed the centuries’ old attorney-client privilege to get Trump. They will stop at nothing. The judiciary is beholden to the Deep State.
Maybe I should have said shouldn’t rather than don’t.
I know. They’re criminals. Seditionists. Hate America globalist Progressives.
If you can’t share the proof, then you have to dismiss the charges .... we don’t run Stalin secret courts here.
Where is there a better one on the planet?
This is downright funny. Sounds like Concord’s lawyers desperately want the release of the “sensitive US government info” quashed so they can play the graymail card. What if Mueller’s “sensitive info” consists of screen shots of Facebook ads and a plastic decoder ring?
Who will make the call? A Clinton judge, a Bush judge, an Obama judge, or a Trump judge?
“One big mistake that was made when the country was founded was copying the British legal system.”
Except we didn’t, for the most part.

There's only one reason why a defendant like this would even bother showing up in court: to undermine the prosecutor and the credibility of the entire U.S. justice system.
Only Hillary is allowed to do that.
