One of the Russian businesses Mueller indicted decides to show up for arraignment...

Mueller Time is off to a shaky start... Stormy Daniels is not impressed

 

Here's a source for you, btw, https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...ns-cook-pleads-not-guilty-in-us-idUSKBN1IA1I7

Do you think that it's telling that only one of the 13 Russians and 3 Russian businesses is trying to challenge Mueller? Do you think it's a good thing that we hold those responsible for compromising the 2016 election? Further, whose damn side are you on, anyway? Fricking Rush Limbaugh speaking like he's one of Putin's boys here: https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2018/05/07/judges-rebuke-mueller/

I guess since Limbaugh has spent the time since the election having to support and defend Trump, then he's kinda painted himself into a corner where he HAS to support and defend Putin!

 

This may be the silliest comment I have read on here in a long time, and that’s saying something. Nothing that happened in this hearing was that unusual, and to think that it indicates that Mueller doesn’t have a case in nonsensical. The concern that the prosecutors have is that the individual behind this company (who was also indicted but isn’t coming forward) is using the claim against the company to find out what the government has on him. The prosecutors are rightfully concerned about that.

 

Lol, Trump logic.

Here’s a theory, wait until the investigation is over before harping on how he has nothing and joking about routine court appearances.

Watergate was a witch hunt with no dirt on Nixon... until it wasn’t, and they did.

 

I've just read the entire article, and don't see how you've interpreted this as Mueller backpedalling.

 

Whatever makes you feel better.

 

I suggest that you read the story again. The defendants did not show up at court. Lawyers claiming to represent the defendants did. The question seems to be whether those lawyers are authorized to represent the defendants. If they are not, the trial could not proceed (see post by AlliFlowers). It sounds like the lawyers convinced the judge that they were representing the defendants so that the trial can go ahead. I am pretty sure Trump's chorus of 'fake news' is rapidly going to become 'fake testimony', but the legal system will decide this matter. Be patient. You might be right, but you might just be wrong.

 

A) Federal prosecutors indict corporations all the time. That’s standard practice.

B) They did not “show up.” Their lawyers did.

C) The judge didn’t “throw him out on his ass.”

D) Raising the service issue and the delay request were both designed to try to get the owner of the company in court. That’s who they really want.

 

They have to exaggerate to indulge in their fantasy that they know anything about this investigation. ZA also posted a thread about how this investigation has been going on for two years. Last I checked, Mueller was brought on just less than a year ago, and the FBI investigation had only been going on around six months. That's barely a year and a half. But two years sounds longer, makes the investigation sound like its been going on longer, etc.

Meanwhile, Mueller has who knows what on who knows who, and that lack of certainty probably bother Orange Nixon's supporters as much as it does the Con Don himself.

 

Just you're friendly reminder

The Watergate investigation took just over 2 yrs
The Hillary Clinton investigation(s) took just over 2 yrs
The Bill Clinton investigations took around 4 yrs


Ill keep a copy of this in my sig in case anyone needs a reminder.

 

Lawyers show up to court representing clients everyday? How would they not be authorized?

 

a friendly reminder in case you still have room in your signature... those 3 investigations actually involved crimes.

 

So you're saying this will be #4, got it.

 

I am no lawyer, but I thought it was fairly standard for defendants to turn up to confirm who their legal counsel is, but maybe that's just for peons like most of us. In any case, the judge seems to be satisfied on this issue so that case can begin.

 

Stormy has her own attorney, and he's kicking ass and just bought some bubblegum.

I'm not a lawyer either (just work for one). In some cases a document such as a Substitution of Attorney is filed, depending upon the state's code of civil or criminal procedure. The fact that the defendants are foreign nationals and/or entities might demand an express writ stating that the local attorneys are representing them on U.S. soil.

 

Hang on. Are you suggesting that the Russians at Putin's order did not tamper with the 2016 election?

--- Post Merged, May 11, 2018 ---

The Russians are the first part of the indictments. Mueller is ready and able to prosecute them. Once he has enough evidence for any and all domestic players, he will issue indictments for them as well.

Mueller is not playing games, perjury traps or otherwise.

 

So by your logic, you should agree that every case that Trump is trying to delay or state that can't proceed until he is out of office as POTUS is backpedaling, making him a ****ing idiot.

Yes, or no?

BL.

 

Just a regurgitation of Fox News and Trump White House talking points. The only people who could be caught committing perjury are people who don't tell the truth. Trump supporters know he is an habitual, pathological liar and that he will perjure himself after about five minutes. But they turn that around and make it sound as if it would be the investigators who will do something wrong. If you don't want to be in a perjury trap, just tell the truth, something Trump is obviously afraid to do.

If he has nothing to hide, he should encourage the fullest possible investigation of foreign interference in our election and the outing of anyone in his campaign who may have colluded with Russia. Instead, he acts like a guilty person by continually smearing Mueller, the FBI and the Dept. of Justice.

 

Rush Limbaugh

 

This is the kind of tyranny the founders knew about and gave us constitutional powers to protect us.

 

The founders also knew that no one should be above the law.

 

See the response below. Or any of the ones that followed.

Just one more friendly reminder, that the investigations into Hillary Clinton did not result in a single indictment. But we were all willing to let it play out for four years, so we'll let Mueller's investigation go on as well.
