A federal judge has rejected special counsel Robert Mueller’s request to delay the first court hearing in a criminal case charging three Russian companies and 13 Russian citizens with using social media and other means to foment strife among Americans in advance of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

In a brief order Saturday evening, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich offered no explanation for her decision to deny a request prosecutors made Friday to put off the scheduled Wednesday arraignment for Concord Management and Consulting, one of the three firms charged in the case.

Russian firm linked to Putin's chef accuses special counsel of 'pettifoggery.'


The above is the lead sentence for the article. I think pettifoggery is an apt
word to describe Mueller activities.

Wiki needs to revise its Mueller entry.
Petifoggery should display in a major way.
On his Wiki entry and also on his tome stone.

Petiffoger Mueller.

So in Discovery he has to turn over unredacted top secret information to Russia. Isn't that the very definition of the collusion he is accusing Trump of?

Pettifoggery:

to bicker or quibble over trifles or unimportant matters.

to carry on a petty, shifty, or unethical law business.

to practice chicanery of any sort.

@Slide Rule

Yep, nailed it!
