TL;DR
A federal judge in California has expressed concern that defense attorneys for indicted ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov may be attempting to facilitate his escape from the United States. Smirnov, who was released from custody in Nevada and then re-arrested by the FBI on the same charges, is scheduled for a detention hearing in Los Angeles. His attorneys have appealed his detention, arguing that he has the right to a hearing in Nevada before being transferred to California.
