The problem with this case isn’t whether the Russians (in this case Concord) interfered (they probably did), it’s that this was a *vanity case* from the very beginning, never meant to go to trial, designed to further a media “narrative” crafted by Mueller’s crew to attack Trump
Concord started the case having no assets or people in the US and the “crimes” (largely made up for the first time ever) carried no meaningful penalty for a Russian legal entity (that was already sanctioned anyway) from the very beginning. Nothing has changed there from day one
Mueller chose to indict Concord, hoping they’d never show up, so his team could claim a “Russian” scalp in the press (to stand in for the fact that since the beginning they never had any actual Russians doing any “Collusion”)
But the Russians *did* show up, got to claim they were innocent until proven guilty, availed themselves of discovery, tied up the court in time, cost hundreds of thousands of $ in legal bills for DOJ, and gave Mueller a few black eyes in the process, and ended up victorious
The US gov started out with nothing except a press release, and ended up with less than nothing. This case was always either going to risk exposing classified info or be so difficult to prosecute it’d be hard to bring to trial. Because it never should have been near a courtroom
The lesson: don’t bring what is really a counterintelligence case best fought in the dark by the IC against Russia into the public legal system to be ham-fistedly prosecuted by DOJ just for the sake of some weak-ass “narrative” to helps rogue prosecutors indirectly attack Trump
