ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/SOCIAL MEDIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The Russian company Concord Management and Consulting has latched on to the idea that special counsel Robert Mueller is conducting a ‘witch hunt’ and accused him in a court filing Wednesday [8-29-18] of indicting the company because of anti-Russian political motivations. Concord Management, which has pleaded not guilty to a conspiracy charge related to social media use before the 2016 election, also asked the court to make more details public about the Mueller investigation. The words ‘witch hunt’ aren’t written in the document that Concord filed in DC District Court on Wednesday. But Concord clearly reflects the same point of view as President Donald Trump. Instead of using Trump’s words, Concord borrowed a quote from an underling of Russian dictator Josef Stalin…The appointment of Mueller to investigate possible Russian coordination with the Trump campaign is inherently and illegally biased, the company argues, because it focuses on Russia and Trump and no other countries or political campaigns.”
