Mueller the rat is really getting desperate. For the second time, Mueller has requested that his Russia witch hunt be delayed indefinitely. I guess he likes living off the tax payer teet. Mueller’s charade has cost tax payers at least $7 million already with no end in sight. Mueller’s excuse is actually that a “speedy trial” is bad for the public or something. We are a year in to this dog an pony show despite “The Speedy Trial Act” passed 44 years ago. The Speedy Trial Act dictates that a federal criminal case must begin within 70 days from the date of the indictment.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller asked a federal judge Tuesday to reject the four-decade-old speedy trial law in the case against 13 Russians and three Russian companies and has asked for an indefinite delay to the Russian collusion trial.
It is the second time Mueller tried to delay the trial. Judge Dabney L. Friedrich, a Trump appointee, rejected the earlier request without comment and ordered the case to go forward.
One of the Russian companies — Concord Management and Consulting — entered the U.S., hired American lawyers, and demanded a speedy trial. The Speedy Trial Act is a 44-year old federal law that dictates that a federal criminal case must begin within 70 days from the date of the indictment.
The “complexity” of the case warrants excluding the speedy trial law and delaying the trial, Mueller argued in Tuesday’s court filing.
A “district court can, on its own motion or at the request of a party, grant an excludable continuance if ‘the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial,’” Mueller wrote.
