IANAL, but that does not seem to be a productive avenue to travel?
Antagonizing your judge is very good, and easy to win.
WTF? How does this not end in sanctions? An officer of the court does not address a Federal Judge this way.
“[T]he Court did not consider the fact that while the mainstream media has largely ignored Defendant’s pending motions, when the word ‘Judge’ appears before a person’s name, this political adornment suggests to the public that there now is some higher level of wisdom than among the mere mortal lawyers in the case, and as such, every single mainstream media organization repeated the Court’s words as gospel,”
And these lawyers are from a legit silk stocking law firm. I would think this would be controversial within the firm itself.
There’s no scolding in open courts in Russia. They just shoot you in the open street.
The stupidity of these lawyers is reaching epic proportions. This will not end well for them.
[sticks 2 thumbs up] EEEEHHHHHHH - SMART!
Stupid Russian-backed lawyers. These guys are like a bowl of bad borscht. Everyone knows borscht is best if it sits in the fridge and mellows for a day or two. Give it a rest. You lost your motion. Sit Down and Shut the Fuck Up.
“Apparently some of these brave self-proclaimed patriots were whipped into their frenzy by a cable television entertainer unknown to undersigned counsel named Rachel Maddow who devoted a significant portion of her variety program to the words spoken by the Court yesterday,” the filing said. “So while counsel’s words used in advocacy can hurt, the words of a Judge can have devastating consequences.”
That there is fighting words.
WOMP. WOMP.
(What’s Russian for Boo-F’ing-Hoo?)
Fighting words to judge or Rachel? 
Seems like they’re acting up for show to convince the Russian client “loyalty” or maybe they’re worried about getting paid. It’s all very Trumpian. Here’s hoping the judge holds them in contempt. Perhaps in losing a bit of freedom for this arse-crackery they might better understand the benefit of living in a democracy rather than an oligarchy.
The lawyers are being delibrately provocative knowing that they have no case, it being a lost cause. So they are now trying to demolish the foundations of the inevitable judgement against them by smearing the judge with bias claims and inciting endangerment, thus setting up a basis for appeal and dragging this case out as long as possible, while the law firm rakes in Russian oligarch money.
In a court filing from Concord Management’s lawyers Tuesday, the lawyers implied that the judge’s comments were to blame for death threats lobbed against them.
FFS, the death threats likely came from your own damned client.
Obviously, antagonizing a judge is just like conducting a trade war with tariffs. You can only win.
Hmm…I’d like to emphasize but still not as bad as novichok poisonings or being thrown out of a window. So, sorry I can’t.
Now you know (if you’re even being truthful) how victims of Trump’s verbal aggression feel.
It’d be pretty funny if SC showed NSA trace to the judge proving something of that sort.
Nihilists, man. Just want to see the world catch fire then fall into the swamp.
Obviously, that is what they are doing and that conduct – undermining the Court – is sanctionable.
