Russian Firm Dodging U.S. Questions on ‘Putin’s Chef’ Ties

Erik Larson
BloombergFebruary 27, 2020
(Bloomberg) -- The only Russian entity that has responded to U.S. charges of meddling in the 2016 presidential election could be held in contempt of court in Washington for not answering subpoenas ahead of its April trial.

Concord Management and Consulting LLC -- controlled by a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin -- was given one day to explain why it hasn’t responded to prosecutors’ requests for documents including emails or payment records tied to Russia’s troll farm, the Internet Research Agency.

U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, who’s overseeing the case, also set a March 2 hearing on the matter. Jury selection is set to start April 1.

Concord is one of three Russian businesses and 13 individuals charged by Special Counsel Robert Mueller with creating fake social media posts and carrying out other activities to influence U.S. voters in favor of Donald Trump. The company, which allegedly bankrolled the multimillion-dollar effort, was the only Russian party to answer the charges, pleading not guilty in May 2018.

Eric Dubelier, Concord’s lawyer with Reed Smith LLP in Washington, didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

The U.S. seeks to identify the extent of the relationship between Concord and the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency. The subpoenas ask for emails and calendar entries for Concord’s controlling officer, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who’s suspected of meeting frequently with Internet Research Agency employees and financing the alleged conspiracy.

Both Prigozhin and the Internet Research Agency have also been charged by U.S. prosecutors but have not responded. A restaurateur, Prigozhin has been nicknamed “Putin’s chef” because he catered the Russian president’s functions.

Trump has called Mueller’s 22-month investigation a fraud and said he accepts Putin’s claim that Russia didn’t interfere in the 2016 election.

In a recent court filing, the U.S. said Concord failed to substantively respond to its subpoenas even after the judge ordered the Russian company to do so. Concord also allegedly failed to hand over responsive documents that the government had acquired from other sources.

That finding “underscores the conclusion that Concord has not even seriously attempted to comply with the trial subpoenas, and perhaps has no intent to do so,” the U.S. said.

Prosecutors said in a Thursday filing that Concord responded to one subpoena by transmitting 164 pages of Russian language tax and corporate registration documents that identified Prigozhin as Concord’s owner but nothing else. The files also showed the title of general director had been repeatedly transferred among several people, including Prigozhin’s assistant, the U.S. said.Russian Firm Dodging U.S. Questions on ‘Putin’s Chef’ Ties

These were just the allegations and tactics of the DOJ prosecution trying to AVOID DISCOVERY... Why would a defendant comply with discovery subpoenas if the prosecution was NOT answering theirs????? At the point that this article was written (and it leaves out DEFENSE subpoenas that went unanswered because DOJ COULD NOT do that for security reasons) it was just the dying gasp of DOJ trying to save face before they did the INEVITABLE and dropped the cases...

I love how you Russian bots defend your hero Putin!

******* liar.

“By definition, since there was no collusion, the dossier was disinformation, so the intelligence community was misled.”

Daniel Hoffman, a 30-year CIA veteran, says he believes that the intelligence community has likely done an assessment of whether the dossier was the product of Russian disinformation, known as dezinformansiya or deza, for short.}

Lost in all the COVID panic is an important update on Mueller "indictment count"... When several of the Russian entities that Mueller indicted called his bluff and WANTED to show up for trial -- and WANTED a chance at discovery to prove the information was wrong -- I PREDICTED most of these charges would be dropped..

Mueller was running up the "indictment count" to amuse the Dem base... And a lot of the "intel" these trolls were indicted on was AS "iffy" as phony Russian Dossier...

So TODAY -- the DOJ cut and ran.. Because they NEVER EXPECTED that the "trolls" would EVER consider ANSWERING the indictments.. And I pointed out at the time that FILING those indictments was just a "show of force" for the media.. Because all America could do is refer those charged to the Intel Community for possible sanctions.. Which I don't think ever happened either... This is just ONE of the three "bundles of trolls" indicted, but I think more "cut and run" is in the works...

Justice Department moves to drop charges against Russians indicted in the Mueller probe

The Justice Department on Monday moved to drop its case against 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities who were indicted as part of the former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 US election.

In a court filing, prosecutors accused one of those companies, Concord Management and Consulting, LLC, of taking advantage of the US legal process and discovery to try to harm national security. All the while, the filing said, Concord refused to comply with its own legal obligations under the US judicial system.

That included complying with court-issued subpoenas, ignoring a court order to make available a corporate representative, and submitting a "misleading (at best) declaration from an incredible declarant, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the Russian oligarch and co-defendant who controls Concord and is alleged in the indictment as having funded and directed the defendants' election interference campaign."

Barr ordered it to prevent a trial that would be embarrassing to tRump.

The trial would be embarrassing to Mueller who know the case was fraudulent from the get-go.

Mueller knew after a few weeks there was no Trump/Russia collusion, and he wasted $35 MILLION and kept the country on edge for 2 years due to his massive ego. He is scum.

The Russian Collusion Conspiracy Theory was a hoax and a witch hunt from day one, that is when Obama started it to interfere with the 2016 election. The deep state picked Mueller because he was in stage 4 alzheimer's and didn't even know what planet he's on. This witch hunt was run by ultra-partisan Andrew Weissman, top to bottom.

Robert Mueller is a bad man, a lifelong criminal, mobbed up, BUT he would not have picked the most radical left team in history to lead his inquisition.

The lawyers are claiming vindication because it not going forward but if the Russian want to show up then maybe there can be a trial

the indictment would remain in place against Prigozhin and 12 other Russian nationals, as well as the company alleged to have coordinated the online rabble-rousing, the Internet Research Agency

So the accusation still stands

No no and no.. dropping prosecution means just that. No indictments -- no redress for the defendants.. Unless they file nuisance suits against the Fed Govt...

Sorry read your story again and it does say that in one sentence but it would be easy to miss

The indictments still stand and it is obviously the defendants are Russians and I do not believe that the US has extradition treaty with Russia. Also Russia will never turn over their intelligence agency people in order to have their day in a US court

but hey if they want to challenge it then have them show up in court instead of paid lawyers of some Corporation. This case had only this corporation called Concord whose lawyers show up.

In January 2019, the federal government accused Concord of violating a protective court order designed to safeguard information shared among lawyers on the case. Prosecutors said a trove of nonclassified information they had turned over to Concord’s defense team had turned up on a website the previous October.

The lawyers during discovery got this information and months later it shows up on the internet

Since this was just the lawyers for Concord and no promise that those indicted would show up in court, it was best for the government to drop this as it would expose intelligent operatives and sources that they wanted to remain classified for obvious reasons.

Also if the lawyers had gotten classified information during discovery , it would end up in Russian hands

Department officials denied that the decision to drop the charges was intended to dismantle Mr. Mueller’s work, noting that prosecutors are still pursuing charges against the 13 Russians and the Internet Research Agency.

DOJ Drops Case Against 2 Russian Companies Charged by Mueller


still this court action really only involved this company Concord whom has no presence in the US and is owned by a Russian who has close ties to Putin. The company sent in their lawyers and really is another example of Russian meddling

The whole court drama was to poke holes in the Russian angle and gain intelligence used by Mueller. No exposure or no person or corporate officers showed up in court. They were using the US court system in an attempt to support Trump

Russians interference again. They do not care as Trump does not care who supports him

So let the 2nd quarter of the game begin

NO -- those OLD indictments are GONE !!! Your reading comprehension sucks.. The "threat" to pursue NEW charges is based on the ability of the DOJ to IGNORE all the classified info that came from Intel Agencies and develop NEW EVIDENCE from normal CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS.. They'll be starting over again and I severely doubt this threat will ever materialize...

You're really so weak on understanding how anything works that it probably accounts for your reliance on contaminated partisan news for all your information...

As you try to defend that the indictment for the 13 or so Russians and the internet research agency is a perfect example of repub strategy

denial

Your source was just a case involving the company Concord and yet you clearly cannot understand that and what to project it as broadly as possible

The case was dropped against Concord but the other indictments still stand

information is clearly stated but you still deny it

okay so I bet you still believe that OB is not a citizen

You use the word liar but it clearly a case of projection in which you project your own inadequacies onto others and your a moderator

 

[iceberg]

The number of ads the media WAS COUNTING and calling interference in the election, were about 1/3 ads to INCITE RACIAL separation and mistrust and had NOTHING to do with the election.

Yep, sure. I'll just take your word upon that. Racism had absolutely nothing to do with the Orange Virus' being elected. Yep, nothing to see here, folks. If you'll excuse me, I have a lucrative investment opportunity in Amway I should seriously look into.

Racism exploitation is ALWAYS on the menu for meddling in another country's affairs.. It wasn't just invented for the 2016 election... THere's a history of interference in country's perception.. Even the BRITS used it to gain public opinion against FDR and to get us to enter the war...

And the PROOF it wasn't about electing Trump is that the 1/3 of RACIAL crap exploited BOTH sides of the race issue.. Blacks against whites.. Whites against blacks.. If you want to read a couple thousand Russian troll ads, I'll give ya the links...

a vast majority of the ads had very little to do with politics. when it did, it simply took one extreme point of view and told the other side to "**** off".

and off they went, like pavolvs dogs.

still going.

Judge Dismisses Part of Robert Mueller’s Case Against Russian Firm - WSJ

the Justice Department moved Monday to drop charges against two Russian companies that were accused of funding a social media meme campaign to further their “strategic goal to sow discord in the U.S. political system, including the 2016 presidential election.”

notice the words two Russian companies

Of the 13 Russians and three Russian companies charged by Mueller in the social media disinformation effort, Concord was the sole defendant to enter an appearance in Washington’s federal court and contest and the allegations.

so where do you guys get that the other 13 people and internet research agency indictment was dropped. They were not included in this case.

Its is a fine example of repubs reaching and making up fake news.

The indictments against the 13 Russians and the internet research agency still stand

the above is the legal document to dismiss Concord. Now if you have a legal court document that says that the other 13 russians and internet research agency were dismiss

by all means post it

This matter comes before the Court upon the motion of the United States to dismiss with prejudice Count One of the indictment as to Concord Management and Consulting LLC and Concord Catering (the “Concord Defendants”), pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure48(a). The government’s motion is

and it is hereby
ORDERED
that Count One of the Indictment (ECF No. 1) and Superseding Indictment(ECF No. 247), as to the Concord Defendants, is dismissed with prejudice
