Special counsel Robert Mueller filed a formal complaint against the judge presiding over Paul Manafort’s tax fraud case this week; claiming T.S. Ellis III violated protocol while ruling against the prosecution’s star witness.
According to Politico, Mueller’s team is increasingly frustrated with the “cranky judge” who has rebuked the special counsel’s office on multiple occasions.
[T]he judge’s condescending attitude [could give] the jury the impression that the prosecution’s case is dubious

Wonder if Booby is allergic to hemp?
This slithering piece of seditious Mitt belongs on the nearest DC cherry tree.
I'm starting to think the only honest person in the bunch is Manafort.
The judge should sanction Mueller and his whole team for contempt.
Get the presiding judge pissed off at you, way to go.
“The case fell apart first hour of day 1 so lets blame and attack the Judge”
They may just need this as a political talking point, to keep their whole collusion narrative alive, if they lose.
Manafort’s acquittal would PROVE collusion in their telling, because (their shills will say) the judge conducted an illegal cover up for Trump/Putin.
Amen, brother. Bobby-boy ... Sic Semper Tyrannis...
Manafort is crooked. I will, however, concede that he may be less crooked than the people arrayed against him.
Mr. niteowl77
I know exactly what I wrote above. The man has NO Honor.
It was getting lonely in Jack Murtha's EX-Marine Club.
Good to see that this honorless POS Bobby stepped up to the plate for ol' Mittlicker Jack.
I used to believe there was no ex-Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Mueller makes me re-think that.
He should never have been on this case in the first place. How can you be the investigator when one of your best friends is likely to be a main witness? And how can you be the investigator when you literally were turned down for a job by the man you are investigating 1 day before being appointed?
We have a case right now in my hometown. I've known the owner for 20 years. The situation is much like Manafort - Embezzling and lying by his bookeepers and managers.
“Heard judge Ellis gave his apology to the Mueller thugs.”
You heard Wrong. The Judge said ‘I was Mistaken’ in a matter regarding a potential witness being allowed in the courtroom. The Judge in No-Way Apologized for his comments. Someone on this forum Lying about that.
Mueller filed this for one reason....takes the pressure off of him when he gets his a** kicked.
It's not like "similar" hasn't happened a million times in the courtroom.
Or the Bailiff!
The judge should be careful, his wife or kids might be lying to federal agents as I type this.
“...Mueller has run wild for so long he thinks he can do it everywhere...”
Would love to see the judge throw it out of court.
.
Judge Ellis knows he is under Deep State attack!
Its real.
“And as far as Manafort is concerned, well, double Jeopardy kicks in.”
only if charged under state law ... otherwise, Manafort gets scott free ... and even if the judge doesn’t direct a non-guilty verdict, something tells me any sentence he hands down is going to be near nonexistent ...
