The case special counsel Robert Mueller brought against a company accused of funding Russia’s election meddling on social media looks like it’s heading towards a April 2020 trial date.
This trial will probably conclude sometime around the date of the Conventions in August, 2020.
The vast majority of the electorate (and any MSM other than the pundit-class) really don’t start paying attention until around Labor Day, and this will be a dim memory in the rear-view mirror by that time.
Cheatolini may have started his “wag the dog” war with Iran by that point anyway if his poll numbers continue to crash like they are doing now.
“BREAKING: District court in Maryland just ruled that our trans military ban case can move forward, and that trans service members have a valid claim under the Constitution. The court also rejects the government’s attempts to shut down judicial review of the policy.”
We can always apply your lesson to “big government” - as in rolling back Obama’s EPA standards. He’s freaking b/c many car companies and states aren’t going along with the “new” standards. But then again, “big government” only applies to taxes and non-White people who get a pittance of a social network. And women’s uteruses (plural, anyone?) and the Heller decision, and blah blah blah.
Maybe a surprise, but it’s also perfectly explicable. Concord has basically no downside other than having to pay its (traitorous scumbag) attorneys to mount the defense. The American courts have no ability to enforce any guilty verdict against Concord in Russia, and it has no people or assets in the U.S. Nobody from Concord is going to jail as a result of this trial. And on the upside, the Russians can use the case to obtain discovery into the U.S. intelligence products that led to the indictment, plus they get to try to turn the case into a propaganda opportunity. Can you imagine the crowing that will happen if the verdict is “Not Guilty”?
That said, can I ask everyone consider a donation to Planned Parenthood? I’m afraid for the people who will no longer be served. I know some of you are consistent donors, thank you.
That would be a safe assumption if this were a civil lawsuit, where discovery can get pretty expansive. But this is a criminal case, where “discovery” barely merits the use of that word, and the courts have to make sure they’re honoring the right to a speedy trial. If they set it for April, it will go to trial in April.
