IS MARA-LAGO RAID JUST ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SHAPE PUBLIC OPINION
WE WILL SEE IF THEY EVER PRODUCE EVIDENCE
On May 9, 2018, Eric Dubelier, a partner at the Washington law firm of Reed Smith, representing Concord Management and Consulting, pleaded not-guilty and asked for a speedy trial. They also asked for full disclosure of the evidence against them.
Federal Law requires that a trial, if asked for by the defendant, must start within 70 days of the indictment.
The Mueller group asked for the trial to be delayed as they were not ready to go to trial and that they did not want to disclose their evidence. The Judge refused the request.
On May 16, 2018, Mueller threatened to overwhelm the court with 2 terabytes of Russian social media without translation. If it was not translated, how did they come to their indictment decision? That should make for an interesting trial. He also asked to postpone the trial indefinitely.
It is generally the policy that when an indictment is brought down the prosecution is ready to proceed with a trial. Most of the time the defendant wants a delay to examine the disclosed information.
This whole affair then proceeded to fade from the media and was never heard of again. no prosecution, no disclosure, just another headline grabbing media event. It seems most of these bombshell media events eventually fade into the bottomless pit of fake investigations and indictments.
