I think they want to get their hands on all the documents they've demanded in the discovery process.
What other reason would they have to show up in court in the first place if they were a Russian corporation that couldn't be held accountable even if they were found guilty of every charge?
The strategy is to get all the discovery to show most is fake and then other motions to embarrass the Special Counsel. Eventually the judge or Special Counsel will see the futility in going forward and dissmissal will be on the docket.
It doesn’t sound like a case that the Special Counsel can actually pursue to a trial at this point.
“I don’t think defense WANTS the case dismissed.
I think they want to get their hands on all the documents they’ve demanded in the discovery process.”
How dare someone defend themselves and ask for access to all documents in the case!? When the US Government prosecutes someone, the word of the prosecutor should be enough for anyone! /s (just for the few dim bulbs who can not recognize obvious sarcasm)
Correct! I hope Putin is giggling somewhere as these Russkies and their lawyers are making Mueller and his flunky Jeannie Rhee look like clowns.
