Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office was not messing around.
According to calendars obtained by Judicial Watch, Mueller’s team held “moot courts,” or practice legal arguments, before heading to the courtroom for the real thing.
There were also some mundane details in the heavily redacted calendars. For one, the conference rooms in the office are named after trees and parties grew scarcer as the workload intensified.
Peruse the calendars here:
It takes all kinds to make the incoming Trump administration. You have now former Rep. Matt Gaetz, investigated but never…
Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran, and former Fox News weekend host and President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead…
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he would nominate Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to serve as attorney general, one…
Republicans have clinched the White House and Congress, though with a House majority so slim that it might hamper parts…
But the real question is did they hold practice court arguments for Obstruction of Justice? Sounds like a relevant question for the House to ask Mueller.
So what? Lawyers hold moots prior to important arguments all the time. I’m not particularly fond of them, but I’ve done them sometimes.
I’m not one to complain if I personally don’t find a subject interesting. But honestly I don’t see any news content here at all. A large project like this would naturally have prepared for courtroom presentations in a variety of ways. I was a witness for a moot court when a friend was in law school. It’s like politicians doing mock debates, really pretty unremarkable.
O/T Is there reason to believe Mueller will be leaving the DOJ any time soon? Would he then be less constrained to give full and candid testimony to Congress?
