The fix was in from the start...
There is only one solution to issues like this...
Read the Russian newspapers for the details...
They were saying on Fox yesterday that the Judge didn’t allow of the evidence to be heard. Then he threw out the charge about talking to someone because it was via email and Judge felt that was consider talking about it if its in an email. Dechanko defense brought that up to Judge and he went with it.
FBI agents asked Dechanko if he talked with so and so. vs saying did you have any communications with so and so.
So saying something in an email about an an item, issue, etc is now not considered talking about it. How stupid of an argument for a Judge to go along with.
