Eric Dubelier informing the Court of expected motions to be filed: "We are going to challenge the authority of the Special Counsel generally. We are going to challenge the authority of the special counsel specifically with respect to his power to bring this case."

Finally.

Manafort's lawyers have done a poor job framing the issue and arguing before either Judge Ellis or Judge Berman Jackson. Hopefully the Reed Smith team will do a better job.

Do politically-unaccountable bureaucrats in the DOJ (I'm looking at you, Rosey) have the power unilaterally to take someone off the street and vest that person with the power to roam the country and with the same power as a US Attorney indict people for crimes in federal court?

Without having to comply with the constitutional and statutory requirements that a person with such power be appointed by the politically-accountable president and confirmed by the politically-accountable senate?

“Abrupt” hang up? As opposed to a slow, gradual one?

So if Concord Management is guilty of a crime by funding dodgy Russian social media posts that were published during the election, is Hillary guilty of a crime by funding dodgy British dossier reports that were shopped around to the media and injected into the FBI during the election?

You don’t understand. Everything that his happening in the special counsel probe is a shield for Clinton and everyone that was called upon to assist her dubious activities. This is defense by offense. The corrupt people at the top of some of the agencies in Washington became very very afraid when she lost the election. There is a hell of a lot of CYA going on, and if they have to use scorched earth powers against anyone and everyone, they will do it.

Can’t read behind the pay wall. Any news of whether Mueller and his gang ever produced the evidence used to charge Concord to Concord’s attorneys? (If such evidence exists.)

I didn’t think there was any other kind. One second, you’re talking, the next you’re not! It’s always abrupt!

It’s not about not catching Hillary’s corruption. It’s not about not catching anyone’s corruption. It’s not about catching Trumps corruption. It’s about a people in the govt.bureaucracy in the most powerful non-elected positions realizing their asses were out in the wind after the election.

excellent synopsis, I impatiently await the decision of these important questions!

That is why Sessions, if he can ever find his balls, needs to appoint a special prosecutor who will have specific instructions to investigate the DOJ and the FBI. But the sad fact of the matter is, Sessions is complicit in the coverup.

Oh, this part is great:

So Rhee tells Dubelier they've got 2 terabytes of evidence as to these dodgy social media posts.

Dubelier asks, what language are they in?

Rhee says "Russian."

So Dubelier: Then how do you even know what's in it?

IANAL, but I would estimate that if any such production is forthcoming, it’s a solid dozen court motions into the future.

2 terabytes of data is a towering s**tload of 140-characters-at-a-time messages.

It’s a towering s**tload of 14,000-characters-at-a-time messages.

Lol, that’s complete nonsense if they are claiming that their ‘evidence’ exists in two terabytes of information written primarily in Russian, and it hasn’t been translated. Hopefully this will result in some serious legal jeopardy for Mueller and his gang of henchmen.

The important thing is that it is 2 terabytes. The content does not matter.

When charges have been filed and the prosecutors can't, or won't produce the evidence, one would think the prosecutor would be in instant trouble with the judge. This is all pretty bizarre.

The more Mueller overreaches, the more push back will happen....
