FBI special counsel Robert Mueller is seeking to delay the first court hearing in a criminal case alleging Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Mueller has brought charges against three Russian companies and 13 Russians for the alleged interference.
The delay comes after two attorneys representing one of the Russian entities began challenging Mueller’s evidence in the case.
What are the details? According to Politico, the 13 Russians and three companies — the Internet Research Agency, Concord Management and Consulting and Concord Catering — were expected to ignore the indictments since they are outside U.S. jurisdiction.
However, that’s not what happened. Last month, two lawyers representing Concord Management — Eric Dubelier and Kate Seikaly — surfaced. Mueller told the court Friday the lawyers made a series of discovery requests demanding nonpublic information about Mueller’s case. As attorneys representing one of the defendants, they are allowed to make such requests.
Politico reported that “the move appeared to be a bid to force Mueller’s team to turn over relevant evidence to the Russian firm and perhaps even to bait prosecutors into an embarrassing dismissal in order to avoid disclosing sensitive information.”

Someone needs to penetrate the fog of idiocy Rosentien, Muller eta all keep themselves in. It apparent they have ZERO case and are desperately trying to manufacture anything to avoid admitting the whole thing was manufactured fraud based on a Comey lie.
62 Million Trump voters are not going to sit by and watch Muller clown company try to railroad the President. They will have a Constitutional Crisis if they continue trying to overthrow the duly elected President of the USA.
Weasel Mueller and RosenWeasel have no foundation for their Witch Hunt and need to come clean about their conspiracy to conduct a Putsch.
The judge tonight DENIED Mueller’s request for a delay.
Very interesting. When these silly indictments were first announced, I said here on FR that Vladimir Putin could help destroy public trust in the U.S. legal system by actually having one or more of the defendants stand trial.
Sadly, I’m rooting for the Russians.
They may represent a dictator, but that dictator is 5000 miles away. The deep state, who brought Mueller out of retirement for their own fascist purposes, are right here in the USA.
If that's true, you nailed it. The FBI, CIA, the Uniparty and permanent statist-leftist DC bureaucracy have piled up all the firewood needed to burn our Republic. The match can come from anywhere.
I think the reason Muller's Team is leaking like sieve to the media is they are desperate to keep this thing going until the Midterms.
They are going to do everything they can to keep this clown show going.
It will be just like Fitzgerald and Scotter Libby. They will keep going until they get a scalp they can hang on a technicality and then fold. In their world they are hoping to fold turning it over to a Dem Congress for impeachment.
Weasel Mueller and RosenWeasel have no foundation for their Witch Hunt and need to come clean about their conspiracy to conduct a Putsch.

Time for the tar and feathers.
........given the so called “deep state”, and what THEY stand for, I would prefer to deal with the Russians any day.
They were hoping the whole country would back them and demand Trump resign ,but oops ,they have to start proving their bull crap
“Mueller told the court Friday the lawyers made a series of discovery requests demanding nonpublic information about Mueller’s case. As attorneys representing one of the defendants, they are allowed to make such requests.”
That is HYSTERICAL. It’s simply FUN to see the ship slowly turning and getting ready to mow down the left.
“the move appeared to be a bid to force Mueller’s team to turn over relevant evidence to the Russian firm and perhaps even to bait prosecutors into an embarrassing dismissal in order to avoid disclosing sensitive information.”
Yes, sensitive information disclosing a coup attempt. Mueller should be embarrassed, but he’s more sad that the mask has been ripped off and the deep-state jig is up.
Well, now. It looks as if the Russians decided to do a little fishing of their own. Only difference is, their fishing expedition is completely legal!
I wonder how long its going to be before Lawyers Eric Dubelier and Kate Seikaly have their offices raided and all their files & equipment confiscated?
