Mueller is up to his ass in alligators it seems.
Mueller is Trying to Hide Evidence from Defendants in Russian Trolls CaseSpecial counsel Robert Mueller and his deputy Rush Atkinson filed a 14-page motion Tuesday arguing that the government shouldn’t have to release certain evidence to indicted Russian company Concord Management and Consulting LLC due to ongoing “interference operations” against the United States.
In the motion, Mueller’s team requested a protective order to: (1) keep other co-defendants named in the February 16 indictment from accessing the government’s evidence against them; and (2) to keep additional evidence under the control of government attorneys and away from Concord Management itself.
Once again, it needs to be pointed out that Mueller never expected this stuff to see the light of a court room. You can't charge someone with a crime and then withhold the evidence against them. Defendants have the right to confront their accusers, compel witnesses and examine the evidence against them.
In my opinion, Mueller’s posture could easily viewed as a red-tape-heavy method intended to cripple and undermine Concord Management’s defense. In the United States, criminal defendants are entitled–by virtue of an almost sacred right–to view the evidence used against them. This right undergirds the basic foundation of America’s adversarial legal system.
Mueller is trying to stop the defense from using their right to a speedy trial by claiming that the evidence against the defendants would somehow reveal sources and methods. Sources and methods are revealed in criminal trials, because defendants have the right to confront their accusers and the witnesses against them.
Once again, Mueller never thought this would enter into a court room. It also reveals that Mueller more than likely did withhold exculpatory evidence from Flynn.
Mueller has also filed additional charges against Manafort, trying to get him incarcerated for "witness tampering."
However, a federal judge ruled that Mueller must disclose the identities of the unnamed people he believes were operating as unregistered foreign agents (a law rarely ever prosecuted). So once again, Mueller is showing that he likes to charge people, but withhold evidence.
