Robert Mueller's Biggest ‘Bombshell' (Russian) Indictment Just Got Dismissed With Prejudice
[Red State] Well, this is embarrassing, although not unexpected if you’ve been following this case.

The Mueller investigation produced several indictments, most of which centered on supposedly lying to the FBI. Figures like Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos took center stage, having not been proven to have done anything wrong in regards to Russia, but being relentlessly targeted because there had to be some scalps taken.

But there was one case that was said to have proven the Mueller investigation to not be a waste of time. It involved the indictment of a Russian company called “Concord.” Mueller claimed that said company was a front to conduct a full-scale information war against the United States during the 2016 election. This was supposed to prove the nefarious “election interference” we’d all heard so much about. When Mueller dropped the indictment, the media gasped and claimed vindication. Breathless editorials were written at record pace.

Well, it looks like the only real shot Mueller took just missed its target.

#1 Can we get reimbursed for the $30-40 mil wasted on a phony investigation ginned-up to take down Trump?

#2 It was admittedly, a very effective decoy or kak disturbing additive. Legal Shelf-Life, nearly three years.

#3 Wonder whether the accused have standing to sue Mueller/DoJ for the damage they caused?

#5 I think Concord was the one who showed up in court demanding discovery.
After changing their underwear, Mueller's hacks asked for a delay--hoping to be able to fake something up.
You'd need a heart of stone not to do yourself a mischief laughing.
