Mueller forced to delay court case alleging Russian interference after two lawyers call his bluff

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.”

So let me get this right. When it comes to thuggery in our DOJ / FBI we have nothing but the best on the job. When it comes to legal minds in our DOJ / FBI they get ran in circles by no name Attornys working for Russians. That is comforting.

I would love to see Russians come out with a statement like, “There were two Russian prostitutes hired by Mueller to urinate on him. No political reason, but he is just kinky like that.”

Bobby, Roddy & Jimmy are 3 career bureaucrats who are under the delusion that since they worked for law enforcement agencies, they are superior to a duly elected president who received 62 million votes. This farce has gone on long enough. If AG Sessions has no balls to stop this travesty, he needs to be fired ASAP along with Roddy RosenWeasel.
