Mueller's Russian Troll Farm Indictment Could Face An 'Embarrassing Dismissal'

Political Cartoons by Chip Bok

Daily Wire  . . . "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."

Pettifog:  
1.to bicker or quibble over trifles or unimportant matters.
2.to carry on a petty, shifty, or unethical law business.
3.to practice chicanery of any sort.
