Discussion: Russian Co. To Court: Hold Barr, Mueller In Criminal Contempt For Report Release

[jkrogman]

Sob, SOB.

[lal2911]

If there isn’t a federal law against frivolous court filings, there should be.

@libthinker

as they are showing contempt for our entire system of justice.

They have Trump and Barr showing the way

[old_curmudgeon]

If I were the company’s lawyer, I’d be concerned about discipline from the judge.

[becca656]

Good luck with that.

Whatever judge gets this oughta laugh them right out of the courtroom.

@keninmn

“Everybody knows that the Russians interfered in the election!” has become gospel truth, with zero credible evidence to support it, let alone any evidence quantifying the impact it had on the election’s outcome if it were true. Indictments aren’t proof of anything,

Folks can say what they want about Rosenstein, but those indictments were backed up by a decent work product.

Product that Interior or SVR haven’t refuted.

Forget infrastructure week. It’s frivolous idiot lawsuit week!

[tiowally]

There is. And if they continue to file them after being warned a judge can declare them a “vexatious litigant” and take away their right to ever file another lawsuit.

t’s frivolous idiot lawsuit week!

Say, how is Devin Nunes’s lawsuit-fest mooving along?

[irasdad]

When Russia sends its puppets, they’re not sending their best.

They’re bringing Adderall.

They’re bringing blubber.

They’re serial rapists.

And some, I assume, are good little apparatchiks betraying America for a few fleeting rubles and a chance to park their gargantuan, traitorus tuchuses in the AG chair one more time before they plotz.

Like a cow chewing its cud.

Tell me about it. I was reading the comments following Hillary’s op-ed. The trollies kept making the same claims over and over. When asked for proof, it was either crickets or the not-so-convincing “because I said so!”

.

[libthinker]

My thoughts, as well. It sounds as if the troll farm is revving up for the election season.

[mattinpa]

Either that or interference-denying is the new black, a political hipster’s way of demonstrating maximum skepticism.

Narrator voice: IT IS NOT

[moniker]

I won’t answer the Russian Troll directly, but I would point out that the motion here is designed specifically to get maximal publicity, calling on the AG and the SP to be held in contempt and basing that upon a local rule. They are essentially complaining that the AG is restating that which is already in the indictment against Concord Management and Consulting. Local rule 57.7 does not prevent this. This motion is meant to make a headline, but is going nowhere in the court and the defense know this. If the defendant"s case was harmed by the illegal release of prejudicial information or claims, then the motion would be for dismissal, but then that wouldn’t get the same headline as accusing the AG and the SP of misconduct.

Will RBG, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan get extra security while this nut job is on the loose?

[nymund]

I dunno. Compared to their current crop of contractors running the US federal government they seem fairly sane and disciplined.

[rob_beatty_walters]

No doubt Barr is kicking himself for not thinking of this problem himself.

[pshah]

Of course it’s a frivolous lawsuit. But if memory serves, Mueller sent his report to Barr confidentially and still hasn’t uttered a word about it. So if there is any merit here (and there isn’t), it would be against Barr and probably Trump also for releasing the redacted version.
