    Russian company indicted by Mueller responds, says he charged it with ‘make-believe crime’



    A Russian company indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller is asking a federal judge to dismiss Mueller's charge against them, arguing it is a "make-believe crime." (Alex Wong/Getty Images)


    One of the Russian companies special counsel Robert Mueller indicted in February asked a federal judge Monday to determine whether Mueller charged it with a “sham crime,” CNN reported.

    In February, Mueller indicted three Russian companies — the Internet Research Agency, Concord Management and Consulting LLC, and Concord Catering — and 13 Russian individuals, accusing them of conspiring to interfere in the “US political and electoral processes, including the presidential election of 2016.”

    What are the details?
    Court do ents show Concord Management alleged that foreign election interference is a “make-believe crime” that Mueller is using to “justify his own existence.”

    Concord said Mueller’s motive is his desire “to indict a Russian — any Russian.”

    Citing the fact the Department of Justice has “never brought any case like” Mueller’s to court, Concord accused Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein of having “rejected the history and integrity of the DOJ and instead licensed a Special Counsel who for all practical political purposes cannot be fired, to indict a case that has absolutely nothing to do with any links or coordination between any candidate and the Russian Government.”

    Concord’s lawyers, Eric Dubelier and Katherine Seikaly, said they plan to ask the judge to dismiss the charge against them, explaining in exhaustive detail that Mueller’s indictment failed to prove, given judicial precedents, how Concord’s alleged actions violated a single federal statue.

    In addition, Dubelier and Seikaly asked the judge to review the instructions Mueller gave the grand jury that indicted Concord and its co-defendants.

    What’s the background?
    So far, Concord is the only company or person listed in Mueller’s indictment to challenge the charges against them. Concord’s attorneys entered a plea of “not guilty” during the arraignment last week.

    Because the case’s defendants are foreigners, Mueller and his team likely did not expect any of the indicted would challenge the crimes against them. That all changed last month when Concord’s lawyers surfaced, making a series of evidentiary requests from Mueller’s team, which they are en led to do as counsel.

    Some believe the lawyers only did so to obtain sensitive do ents related to Mueller’s investigation. However, it’s clear the lawyers are determined to prove its client has been unfairly charged and that Mueller’s investigation is a sham.

    Since the lawyers surfaced in court, Mueller has suffered many embarrassing stories. Just last week, it was revealed that one of the companies Mueller charged — Concord Catering — did not exist as a legal en y during the time period Mueller alleged it committed a crime against the U.S.

    And earlier in May, a federal judge told Mueller’s team in court he suspects, given the evidence before him, that Mueller’s case against Paul Manafort really is not about Russian interference, but about using Manafort as a pawn in a larger scheme to prosecute or impeach President Donald Trump.

    (white male supremacist) Bannon and Cambridge Analytica planned suppression of black voters, whistleblower tells Senate

    “One of the things that provoked me to leave was discussions about ‘voter disengagement’ and the idea of targeting African Americans,” he said.

    “I didn’t participate on any voter suppression programs, so I can’t comment on the specifics of those programs.”


    “I can comment on their existence, and I can comment more generally on my understanding of what they were doing,”


    “If it suited the client’s objective, the firm [SCL, Cambridge Analytica’s parent company] was eager to capitalize on discontent and to stoke ethnic tensions,”

    “Steve Bannon believes that politics is downstream from culture. They were seeking out companies to build an arsenal of weapons to fight a culture war,”

    “Racial characteristics can be modeled and I’m not sure about the studies that my colleague here was referencing but we were able to get an AUC score, which is a way of measuring accuracy for race that was .89 I believe,”

    https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/16/bannon-and-cambridge-analytica-planned-suppression-of-black-voters-whistleblower-tells-senate/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaig n=Feed%3A+Techcrunch+%28TechCrunch%29

    So Cambridge Analytica and Pootin's troll army both targeted White Iden y Politics / White Resentment for inflaming.

    "studies have shown" the race was the top issue for Trash's base, with their ed economic status/future coming after.

    America's Original Sin of slavery (of blacks) is still a major part of the American Dream/Nightmare, augmented by browns, whom America has always screwed, indigenous or immigrants.
