You aren't denying that the Russians wanted Clinton to lose are you? Like I indicated we will never know if it swayed the election.

Judge rejects Mueller's request for delay in Russian troll farm case



"A federal judge has rejected special counsel Robert Mueller’s request to delay the first court hearing in a criminal case charging three Russian companies and 13 Russian citizens with using social media and other means to foment strife among Americans in advance of the 2016 U.S. presidential election."


"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."


"The lawyers, who work for Pittsburgh-based law firm Reed Smith, also signaled Concord intends to assert its speedy trial rights, putting more pressure on the special counsel’s office to turn over records related to the case."


https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...e-delay-570627


"But the motion revealed that lawyers for Concord Management made a series of discovery requests seeking records, including statements and electronic surveillance of the company's executives and employees, from Mueller's investigation."


""The government therefore requests an adjournment of the presently scheduled initial appearance and arraignment until the Court makes its determination," the court filing reads."


http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/386348-mueller-team-seeks-delay-in-russia-indictments-case-report"


It looks like Mueller filed incitements but is not prepared to defend them.


I guess he didn't expect any reply to them.


His bluff was called!
Yes, this was discussed.

The lawyers for the Russian company has since plead not guilty, forcing Mueller to bring his case, or drop the charges.

Mueller's bluff has been called, we'll see if he has anything.

Go ahead and keep looking for excuses for losing though and ways to deligitamize the president

Straight outta the Nixon playbook. It's like he said it himself.


That said - let's remember how many indictments came out of the 4 year farce known as the Benghazi investigation. Oh, that's right - big, fat goose egg.


And her emails! OH MY GOD her emails! Indictments = 0

Why do you continuously embarrass yourself by saying this?

The Benghazi hearings were not a criminal investigation, they were congressional investigations, there never was going to be any indictments.

So you can stop embarrassing yourself, say it with me.

Congress cannot issue indictments.

Oh heck, keep embarrassing yourself, we're all getting a good laugh at your expense.

You just refuse to admit that social media had an impact and keep digressing to Clinton having more money as if that has meaning in the context of the discussion. If you want to consider Russian hacking as delegitimizing the presidency that's your choice.

More ads came after the election than before....


Quote:
According to figures published by Facebook last October, 44 percent of the Russian-bought ads were displayed before the 2016 election, while 56 percent were shown afterward. Mr. Goldman asserted that those figures were not published by the “mainstream media” — however, many mainstream news outlets did print those numbers, including CNN, Reuters and The Wall Street Journal.
