This was a HUGE DEFEAT for Mueller. His strategy is to ‘hang his enemies in the wind’, so as to keep the ‘Russian Collusion’ crap alive. But now he’s having to deal with some VERY UNFRIENDLY judges, who put the RULE OF LAW above him.
In this case, his first goal was that the Russians would not appear in court, thus giving him ammo to say they had indeed helped to rig the election for Trump.
But that didn’t work yesterday as their lawyers appeared in court, and ready to fight. And they want DISCOVERY and a lot of other stuff that is REQUIRED to be provided to the defense.
So on to Plan B for Mueller - DELAY, DELAY, and DELAY more, ideally through the Mid-terms, to keep the Russian stench on Trump. But that FAILED today...the judge won’t allow Mueller to drag it out.
So Mueller is likely only left with Plan C, which is to DROP THE CHARGES. Expect that next week, unless he tries some kind of appeal.
If Putin really wants to undermine the U.S., he’ll have the lawyers for this defendant actually OPPOSE any attempt to drop the charges. Think about that one for a second, and you’ll understand how comical this whole disaster has become.

#9. BobL (no relation to Plan 9 From Outer Space, are you?).
Good analysis.
Hope you are right. Time for Mueller to suffer a professionally embarrassing case of whoop-ass.
“...Discovery...”
Discovery works both ways!! (directed at Mueller’s team)
