Great post. I suspect it was one of those silly indictments where mueller and his clowns thought it would be a default judgment. The Russian company answered and envokrd the statute. No there there. MSM is so desperate now. Everything is falling apart and Trump is winning on the WALL. You will
Have many left wing suicides now.

There was no indictment, just a subpoena ordering the foreign corporation to produce documents. (We know from the public court opinions that the corporation does business in the U.S., but is owned by a foreign government.) The corporation invoked the statute, but the courts have rejected the defense. So the corporation will either now comply, or the court will fine the heck out of it for contempt of court. (A human being who disobeys a subpoena is locked up until he complies; you can't jail a corporation, but you can fine it $5,000 a day until it complies.)
