Do you think they are assuming a pardon?
Dunno. They've got full discovery on Gates, which may reveal that Mueller has the goods on the case in chief, or maybe even know something is imminent on that front. So yeah: pardon or indictment?
Do you really think this means they have no defense or they just aren't telling what it is? Which makes sense at this point. I haven't read all the docs though.
I'm less interested in their claim that they may not mount a defense (likely but not surprising) than that they punted on some of the more important things, like jury instruction.
Did they miss the deadlines? Or just agree with the government? I should just go read the stuff myself.
They had asked for an extension, didn't get it, and on a number of issues did the minimum of raising objections w/o getting into specifics. But, NAL.
