“Evidence” that will never see the light of day in a court of law. The Ruskies should send a lawyer to see if the court would give them discovery over Mooooler’s stammering objections. Case dismissed for lack of evidence. :-)
The Russians just might. They did in the company version of tjis indictment.
I would be betting on a Russian lawyer appearing and demanding the case be immediately brought to court, with full evidence given to him. The prosecution will refuse that, and the judge will dump the indictments.
One odd factor here....if you were a true hacker, you’d take a lot of precautions. Tracking down and naming one single guy would be a great accomplishment....but to track down and name 12 guys? Either these are awful stupid GAU folks, or the whole thing is faked up.
And then you go back to the Russian election of 2011, and wonder....did the NSA folks attempt to hack into the Russian campaign server? Might the Russians have enough evidence to bring up charges as well?
Sadly, Herr Müller failed to repeat his earlier mistake of indicting Rooskie corporations along with individual Rooskies (e.g., NorseViking?).
The difference is, an individual has to appear in court in person to answer an indictment, but a corporation can just send (expensively hired) Washington-based counsel to answer the indictment and oblige Mueller to fulfill his legal obligations of discovery. Those obligations absolutely must be enforced, since they protect us ordinary Americans as well as Russian entities. Any deviation from equal justice threatens us all!
As far as I remember, the DNC never allowed their computers to be examined, merely STATING that they had been hacked by the Russians. This farce was never intended to see a courtroom...
