    I think the headline politico picked out is a little off. One of the defendants is dodging service of process and the Russian gov. is helping them do so. I think the judge sees no need to delay because she views it as a non-issue. Mueller's team obviously did what they were supposed to do to deliver service and the defendants showed up to argue.

    Also a good alternate headline: "Russian Troll Farm represented by a lawyer who used the word 'pettifoggery.'"

      If direct Russian interference in a US Federal election, including concerted efforts to hack into political organizations and release sensitive information to the public, is pettifoggery then I wonder what this lawyer considers serious?

        Tell me you had to Google the word "pettifoggery" before you actually used it in a sentence.
