If they didn't want that information available, then they shouldn't have charged them. The courts are fully prepared for that, so I'm not sure where you get the idea that they couldn't "cope" with it. The Russian government had nothing to do with the discovery process and the defendants showing up to prove their innocence. You just said a bunch of random unrelated things.

The prosecutors couls get all the information they need through the legal discovery process. The problem is that the defense can as well.
