Mueller's Russia Indictments Face An 'Embarrassing Dismissal'

On Friday, a new report suggested that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's February indictment against several Russian companies and over a dozen Russian citizens could face an embarrassing dismissal. The 37-page indictment alleges that three Russian companies and 13 Russian citizens used social media and other means to interfere with the 2016 U.S. elections. Politico reports: Last month, however, a pair of Washington-area lawyers suddenly surfaced in the case, notifying the court that they represent Concord Management. POLITICO reported at the time that the move appeared to be a bid to force Mueller’s team to turn over relevant evidence to the Russian firm and perhaps even to bait prosecutors into an embarrassing dismissal in order to avoid disclosing sensitive information. Prosecutors on Mueller's team revealed on Friday that lawyers Eric Dubelier and Kate Seikaly, who represent one of the Russian companies named in the indictment, made multiple requests demanding "nonpublic details about the case and the investigation." Dubelier and Seikaly accused Mueller's team of having no regard for the court's rules and suggested that they are just doing whatever they want without any legal authority to justify their actions. "Defendant voluntarily appeared through counsel as provided for in [federal rules], and further intends to enter a plea of not guilty. Defendant has not sought a limited appearance nor has it moved to quash the summons. As such, the briefing sought by the Special Counsel’s motion is pettifoggery," Dubelier and Seikaly said in a statement. This is just the latest embarrassing developing for Mueller's Russia investigation as a Virginia federal judge accused Mueller's team of "lying," saying that they only cared about trying to take down President Donald Trump.
