The Concord lawyers are right, this was a PR stunt by Mueller so the MSM could announce actual Russians had been indicted in his never-ending probe in search of a crime. Mueller never expected the Russians to actually show up in court. Mueller once again shows his true nature, vindictive yet incompetent.

The indictment was, as defendant Concord points out, more like a press release making a mountain out of a molehill, and most of THAT was irrelevant to the actual crimes charged.
It's all about the optics and fooling the public. These people are despicable.
Next up - Mueller claims that since the Russians called his bluff and pointed out his lies, it means they are, in fact, colluding to help Trump....
