I’m saying both should be acceptable courses of action now that they’ve been indicted. If they leave Russia they should be either rendered or extradited by whoever catches them. Recently it was the Czechs. None of this is controversial in the slightest.

I blv the reason why prosecutors name as defendants foreign conspirators whom they have no hope of prosecuting in court is that w/a prima facie showing of conspiracy, their out-of-court statements can be used against those defendants in court, as an exception to the hearsay rule.

Sounds right to me. Also easier to get an obstruction of justice conviction when there is an actual crime, no?
-
People really really really need to drop the obsession with obstruction.

Personal note: I’m not obsessed with obstruction. ;-)

Sure. But why raise it here? It's actually not relevant to what is probably going on.
-
Sigh. It’s ‘relevant’ because Mueller has filed such add-on charges. Otherwise, I agree, not very noteworthy. And with that, I am returning to my regularly scheduled programming — a baseball game

No. He has not filed "add-on charges." He has used such charges to get people to flip to get to the "collusion."
-
I thought you said they were irrelevant. Anyway, what I meant was you said more precisely.

Great point. I'm assuming Dutch intel (including their on-site video of GRU officers coming and going, over a year's time) is central. It's been extremely odd that that story, first reported in the UK, never hit its stride in U.S. Do you think MSM honored an OSC embargo ?
-
No. And I think the Dutch bragged of that after it got revealed in any case. There are far more sources than people make out in this indictment. When I get through my list of more urgent things I'll lay that out.
-
Wow. Looking fwd to that.

That’s right, Marci. And I’d say the charges also establish predicates (if that’s the right word) for other crimes, past and future.
