Lawyers for a Russian tech executive suing BuzzFeed for publishing the Steele dossier say that a longtime associate of Arizona Sen. John McCain and two major news outlets are resisting subpoenas seeking their depositions for the case.
In a brief filed in federal court late Wednesday, lawyers for the executive, Aleksej Gubarev, claim that David Kramer, a former State Department official and McCain associate, “has been seemingly avoiding service” of a deposition subpoena for weeks.
And The New York Times and Wall Street Journal are challenging deposition subpoenas they have been served as part of the case.
Gubarev’s lawyers are attempting to find out who gave BuzzFeed the salacious dossier, which the website published to much controversy on Jan. 10.
The dossier, written by former British spy Christopher Steele, alleges that Gubarev and his companies, XBT Holdings and Webzilla, used spam, viruses and porn bots to hack into DNC computer systems. Gubarev vehemently denies the allegations.
Gubarev’s attorneys say that identifying BuzzFeed’s source could shed light on whether the news outlet was warned that information in the dossier could be false.
Oooo, contempt of court. Federal court. He better watch out or Jeff Sessions is going to…going to…well, Jeff Sessions is going to be really upset, and maybe issue a strongly-worded letter!
Oh good, McStain has a scapegoat. How lovely for him.
He’said holding out until after McCain bites the dust. Water board him.
….”nurse, would you put a stat on that, that artery is rolling around”.
Senator Integrity. I don’t like Senators who don’t have integrity or loyalty, no matter how many years they might have been a prisoner of war. Senator Jeremiah Denton was a great man of real integrity and loyalty. What a contrast.
Randy “Duke” Cunningham was a true American hero, who became corrupted by Washington DC, but he admitted guilt and took his punishment like a MAN. Here is his statement when he was sentenced:
“When I announced several months ago that I would not seek re-election, I publicly declared my innocence because I was not strong enough to face the truth. So, I misled my family, staff, friends, colleagues, the public – even myself. For all of this, I am deeply sorry. The truth is – I broke the law, concealed my conduct, and disgraced my high office. I know that I will forfeit my freedom, my reputation, my worldly possessions, and most importantly, the trust of my friends and family. … In my life, I have known great joy and great sorrow. And now I know great shame. I learned in Viet Nam that the true measure of a man is how he responds to adversity. I cannot undo what I have done. But I can atone. I am now almost 65 years old and, as I enter the twilight of my life, I intend to use the remaining time that God grants me to make amends.”
McCain could learn a lesson from Duke.
David Kramer is in deep with Pres Bush’s business and McCain’s foundation. Figures that it would be a RINO handling and bungling bullshit.
How the hell can you avoid being served a subpoena? My understanding is that someone just has to hand you the envelope and it’s done (while someone takes a photo). Geezuz, do it at lunch when he’s carrying a tray, bump into him when he’s carrying stuff and when he’s picking up whatever he was carrying slip the document in. He can’t hide in his house all day.
I wonder if taxpayer funds were used on this bunghole’s “mission for God” that McShitstain sent him on? It’d be very interesting to find out the answer.
