Mueller’s Russian Collusion Trial Delayed 90 Days For Further Discovery
Daily Caller ^ | 5/23/2018 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 05/23/2018 6:19:28 PM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

The “complexity” of the case warrants excluding the speedy trial law and delaying the trial, Mueller argued in Tuesday’s court filing.
....
Former federal prosecutor and National Review Contributing Editor Andrew C. McCarthy told TheDCNF it was too late for Mueller to claim that the complexity of the case warranted a delay.
“Speedy trial rights belong to the defendant, and if the defendant pushes for a trial within the 70 days, the government has little cause to complain,” McCarthy said. “If the case was too complex, the government had the option of holding off on seeking an indictment until it was ready to proceed to trial. When a prosecutor files an indictment, it is tantamount to saying, ‘We are ready to go.'”

“The GOP needs to come out against Mueller now. This needs to end.”

Speaker Ryan to his credit did say the Mueller needs to bring this thing to a close.

He’s kicking the can past the 2018 “midterm” elections. By hook or crook the Democrats will get assistance to take over the government.

Dems already said that they are using the “culture of corruption that rises to the top ranks of the party” talking point again this election cycle.

Fire his ass! Just be done with it! Demand to be impeached so the democraps can be exposed. Then round them up and execute them! The press will scream and I will see what else is on the tv and smile. Enough is enough! Trump has more power on his side that if he goes to the publisher and releases the Kraken of the Trump supporter, the DNC will be crapping themselves!

Ya got to love it when these lying corrupt stooges explain to lowly deplorable peons how complex this issue is and how they need years more. Even with a conga-line of investigators with unlimited resources, the only thing they’ve discovered is they’ve been publicly exposed for the deceitful criminals they are.

Generally speaking, once indicted and the right to a speedy trial is demanded, the speedy trial clock starts. Mueller cannot request a dismissal and then re-indict at a later time.

Mueller F’ed up on this case and the defendant’s attorney is going to force Mueller to drop the charges.

Not only is the 2TB in Russian, Mueller’s prosecutor admitted in court that none of it had been translated.

This case is a perfect example of why you NEVER, EVER talk to the cops or a prosecutor without immunity. JUST DON’T DO IT. It never, ever helps you.

Just wait for the asshole prosecutor to indict you, plead not guilty, demand your right to a speedy trial, demand discovery, and file a motion to dismissed based on the violation of your right to a speedy trial.

If the prosecution tells the judge they need more time to produce the discovery, the judge will pressure and badger you into waive your right to a speedy trial. No matter how much pressure is placed on you, demand the dismissal you are entitled to.

Judge, prosecutor, and maybe even your defense attorney will be pissed off at you. That’s not your problem. Don’t let their problem become your problem.

The GOP is going after Mueller. Things are going to heat up over the summer going into the elections just as I predicted and everyone of these revelations costs the Democrats. Leave Mueller along and let him stagger from absurdity to absurdity and cost the Democrats votes. I love this drama.

Every Republican is better for the nation than any Democrat.

why keep going along with this charade?

It’s all illegal and they are not the ones in legal power to do what they have done. There comes a time to take the reins from the evil doer... and that is way past due.

Call this what it is and end it!!! To even converse about whether to sit with mueller, is to give credence to what he’s doing. walk away from this one.. it’s not in their legal power to continue harrassing our President. if Trump won’t fire them, at least do not participate in this deep state coup attempt.

It’s not been about russia, it’s been about unseating our President... do not dialogue, do not argue, do not give them any supposed position to continue... there has to be a stopping place where the swamp ends.. Mr. President, YOU are the one who calls this, not them!!

Mueller is trying to run the clock. He wants to do an October surprise right before the midterm elections. So far he has nothing and the light of truth is revealing his scam and will shut him down. It should put him in an orange jump suit.

This whole case is an embarrassment. Why do they even call it a “collusion trial”? Even if these Russian individuals and entities “interfered” in the US election, there is no evidence of coordination with the Trump campaign, which ought not to have given a rat’s a$$ whether some Russian trolls were trolling either for or against him, and these yo-yos did both. They certainly needed no help from Trump. Trolling is a self-sustaining activity.

Selling uranium to Russia ought to land him in old sparky, just like the Rosenbergs. He was in on that, along with Hillary, Obama and the rest. But think of the global warming that the electric chair causes. Hang them all, except Comey who belongs in a gibbet, and harness their convulsions to produce green energy.
