WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The lawyer representing Russian company Concord Management and Consulting, Eric Dubelier, asked a US federal district court for permission to review grand jury instructions that may provide grounds for dismissing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment against his client, court documents revealed.

 

On May 9, Concord pleaded not guilty to charges filed by Mueller in February of allegedly interfering in the US 2016 election.

 

"Violations of the relevant federal campaign laws and foreign agent registration requirements administered by the [US] DOJ [Department of Justice] and the FEC [Federal Election Commission] require the defendant to have acted ‘willfully,’ a word that does not appear anywhere in Count One of the Indictment," the document said on Monday. "Defendant Concord is seeking… an in camera [private] inspection of the legal instruction the Special Counsel provided to the grand jury with respect to Count One."

 

If the court determines, the document added, that Mueller’s team "did not provide a complete and accurate mens rea [criminal intent] instruction then the instruction should be disclosed to the Defendant because there may be grounds to dismiss Count One of the Indictment on that basis."

 

Concord’s legal team, according to the document, also accused Mueller of fabricating the very crime the indictment is based on.

 

"Different from any election case previously brought by the DOJ, the Special Counsel used the catch-all provision of the federal criminal code, the defraud prong of conspiracy… to allege that a foreign corporate defendant with no presence in the United States and having never entered the United States, engaged in the make-believe crime of conspiring to ‘interfere’ in a United States election," the document said.

 

On February 16, the Justice Department in court documents revealed that the United States indicted 13 Russian nationals and three entities for allegedly trying to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Moscow has repeatedly denied interfering in US elections, calling the allegations absurd and part of a broader politically-motivated campaign to smear Russia.

They needed to control the weed issue to round up the MS-13 members as this was their main cash cow. Dems tried to legalize weed to put people back to sleep and to cover their criminal puppets from prosecution.

President Trump Forgoes Israeli Independence Celebration To Be with Recovering Melania Trump

 

President Donald Trump chose to spend time with his recovering wife instead of appearing as a guest of honor at Israel’s 70th anniversary of independence celebration in Washington, DC, on Monday night.

 

Israeli ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer told the event’s crowd of hundreds at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium that Trump wanted to be at the event, but chose to attend to the first lady, who had undergone a planned medical procedure that day.

 

Vice President Mike Pence later identified the first lady’s treatment as a “long-planned” medical procedure and the reason that Trump had asked Pence to stand in for him at the event.

 

Mrs. Trump was taken to Walter Reed military medical facility on Monday morning to undergo an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. “The procedure was successful and there were no complications,” according to a statement from the first lady’s office. She is expected to remain at the facility for the remainder of the week. “The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere,” the statement concluded.

 

Husband Donald Trump left the White House Monday evening to visit with wife Melania for over an hour. The two spoke with one another earlier in the day, the first lady’s communication director Stephanie Grisham confirmed to Breitbart News.

 

Monday also marked the dedication and opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. Trump issued a declaration last December recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordering the U.S. embassy in Israel moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

 

President Trump was one of 70 honorees at the Israeli independence event, “because of his bold and historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,” the ambassador told attendees. The Vice President brought the crowd greetings and congratulations from the President and accepted a recognition medal for President Trump from the state of Israel.

 

“The President asked me to be here tonight because, as you all no doubt are aware, earlier today the first lady underwent a long-planned medical procedure, and I’m pleased to report the procedure was a success and Melania is already on the mend.”

 

Pence said he spoke for “people everywhere when I say that Mrs. Trump is in our hearts. We pray for her speedy and full recovery and we look forward to her returning to her work making a difference in the lives of our nation’s children.”

 

Mrs. Trump unveiled her policy platform last week, “Be Best.” It promotes the physical and emotional well-being of children and tools to help them succeed.

 

“As people across the country and this world have come to appreciate, Melania is a remarkable woman and the United States of America is blessed to have her as our first lady,” said Pence. “Get well soon, Melania.”

 

The hundreds gathered responded to the well-wishes for the first lady with applause.
