HYSTERICAL - the Mueller prosecutors have found themselves in front of a TRUMP JUDGE, who is simply in no mood to let them walk away unscathed.
For those who don’t remember, the Mueller prosecutors made a MAJOR MISTAKE by indicting a Russian company, along with a bunch of Russian individuals. The individuals are required by US law to show up in person, in court, if they want to defend themselves (and since they’re in Russia, Mueller’s bunch figured, correctly, that they wouldn’t show up).
BUT, the company can represented remotely - so the Russians hired a US law firm and the Mueller prosecutors are now up the creek, since they must now put up or drop charges...and I don’t know if dropping charges at this point is even allowed without some penalty.

I remember Rush got quite a chuckle when Concord answered the indictment forthwith and had Mueller et al hemming and hawing. IIRC, Concord wanted to move right ahead to discovery and the Special Council’s office suffered a huge clong.
Mueller was before the FISA court in 2002 because of FISA abuses. When he was special prosecutor, he looked the other way to the FISA against the President that have now been uncovered.
Mike Nifong, anyone?
