From Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday refused to dismiss a special counsel indictment against a Russian company accused of interfering in the 2016 presidential election.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, an appointee of President Donald Trump, allows the criminal case against Concord Management to proceed.
The company and two other entities were indicted in February for participating in an effort to sway American public opinion through social media posts ahead of the election.
Thirteen Russians were also charged, accused of meddling in the election through bogus Facebook posts aimed at sowing discord on hot-button social issues.
COMMENT:-
There is, of course, absolutely no chance whatsoever that any of the defendants in this action might flip and reveal that Mr. Trump was actually involved (although never personally present for any meetings), right?
Why the only thing that that would do would be to increase the instability of the American political process and there is absolutely no way that the Russians would want that to happen - right?
PS - If one of the defendants does flip, proving that they are not telling the truth is going to be pretty easy - after all the Russians have absolutely no experience in fabricating evidence - right?
PPS - The above comments are NOT to be taken as even a hint that the charges are correct - just an opinion of what MIGHT happen regardless of the truth or falsity of the charges.
