I am no way a legal eagle.

So I speak as a novice....not even a novice but just a guy who tries to look at stuff with an objective eye.

This sounds like the 13 indictments were for show. Nothing substantial to prove, but easy to indict since the "bad guys" are thousands of miles away and will never subject themselves to an American court of law.

The judge may realize that is indeed a witch hunt and isn't going to let Mueller pussyfoot around any more.

Thoughts?

Could the judiciary be one place that is coming to reflect the opinion of many Americans who are sick of this never ending BS?

as another aside, does it seem to some of you the “apparent” conservative point of view the Washington Examiner is supposed to have kind of dying?

They seem kind of anti-Trump.

Same with the Free Beacon.

Bingo.

It will be entertaining to watch Mueller try to prove that a handful of twitter trolls changed the outcome of the election.

Friedrich, a Trump appointee based in Washington, sided with Concord and said the arraignment will proceed as scheduled Wednesday afternoon.

I posted this on the other thread, I love it!

When you charge a bunch of foreign people with a crime like this, it's easy to assume they'll never show up to stand trial.

But when you list a corporation among the defendants, it can simply send lawyers to defend the case.

This whole episode appears to be a colossal embarrassment to Mueller and his team ... to the point where I can't imagine any of them even graduated from law school. You file a motion to delay an arraignment on the grounds that the defendant may not have been properly served with the complaint, and the defendant's lawyers prove they were served properly by showing up in court with a detailed list of discovery demands?

LMAO.

“...Mueller’s team asked for a delay on Friday because it was unclear whether the firm had formally accepted the court summons for the case, but U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich, an appointee of President Trump, denied that request in a brief order Saturday....”
****************************************************************
“an appointee of President Trump,...” And THIS is exactly why we need McConnell to get off his dead ass and schedule back-to-back floor actions & votes on Trump’s judicial nominees. And with only the maximum 2-hour “debate” under the change that came out of the Rules Committee!

This was a HUGE DEFEAT for Mueller. His strategy is to ‘hang his enemies in the wind’, so as to keep the ‘Russian Collusion’ crap alive. But now he’s having to deal with some VERY UNFRIENDLY judges, who put the RULE OF LAW above him.

In this case, his first goal was that the Russians would not appear in court, thus giving him ammo to say they had indeed helped to rig the election for Trump.

But that didn’t work yesterday as their lawyers appeared in court, and ready to fight. And they want DISCOVERY and a lot of other stuff that is REQUIRED to be provided to the defense.

So on to Plan B for Mueller - DELAY, DELAY, and DELAY more, ideally through the Mid-terms, to keep the Russian stench on Trump. But that FAILED today...the judge won’t allow Mueller to drag it out.

So Mueller is likely only left with Plan C, which is to DROP THE CHARGES. Expect that next week, unless he tries some kind of appeal.

It ain’t a small defeat. Mueller is being outed as going waaaay beyond his authorized boundaries. It will destroy his cases

The SP was hoping for a “default judgment” - now they are forced to produce, or lose.

Looks like Mueller will have to scramble to come up with some ‘evidence’.

No doubt taxpayers will be shelling out overtime pay for more of this hoax.

This may well be why Trump hasn’t made any moves against Mueller - he had his judge and he knew that Russia was fighting back...and thus Mueller’s gang will now have to make total assess of themselves by dismissing.

With that, the timing may well be perfect to put an end to this crap.

Seem like Mueller is afraid of discovery evidence asked by the defense. So they were trying to delay, delay, delay

Sorry, but we have free speech here in this nation.

Russia didn’t do anything more than we did in Britain and Israel.

Pound sand Muller, you Democrat water girl...

I’ll wager Their next move is to try to file an emergency motion to close/seal the hearing due to TS/Classified material or methods BS.

Then they will do their best to make the case disappear.

Such as they have with Flynn and Iwan (Mystery Pakistani IT flimsy flam man)
They sure ran from the Flynn Case once the Corrupt FISA Judge was removed and a real one started asking questions of the SC

between this and Judge Ellis demanding to see Mueller’s unredacted special prosecution charter in the Manafort case, the whole Mueller road show is on the verge of imploding.

Court is where the rubber meets the road, and Mueller is FINALLY having to bring his clown car show into court ...

Its a crime for foreigners to badmouth Hillary on Twitter? Was it illegal for Vincente Fox to badmouth Trump on Twitter?
