Any idea what this means?

The judge wants to beat the traffic out of town for the weekend.

[silverleaf]

I have a bad feeling about this
Hope I’m wrong

[snarkytart]

A longer than usual break?

[CMailBag]

I hope the Judge throws the whole thing out.

[COUNTrecount]

The salty tears of Mueller’s team caused a flood, water now being sent to CA to put out the fires.

[circlecity]

Maybe they’ve worked out a plea?

[firebrand]

He wants the Times thrown out of the courtroom?

[Williams]

Possible deal, possible mistrial, Friday afternoon and wanting to see if the jurors want to go home.

Judge T. S. Ellis, is perhaps looking for a way for those lawyers and their boss Muller....to save face in this case which has no bearing on Russian collusion.

The prosecution wants the judge to correct something he said earlier in the trial.... He's likely reviewing to determine whether they are whining, or correct. My guess is the former.

Prosecutors for Special Counsel Robert Mueller are asking the judge overseeing the fraud trial of Paul Manafort to correct an earlier statement.

On Thursday, prosecutors questioned a loan officer for Citizen's Bank of New York, asking about Manafort's 2016 loan application that the bank rejected. U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III interjected: "You might want to spend time on a loan that was granted."

Early Friday, prosecutors said Ellis' crack "misrepresents the law" regarding bank conspiracy and "is likely to confuse the jury."

[JPJones]

I’m guessing the judge and his family is being threatened.

[montag813]

Mueller’s goons hate this judge, want a liberal Black one instead, and likely found some embarrassing dirt on this one they threatened to expose.

[McGavin999]

Someone threatened or bribed a juror?

[jersey117]

New information surfaced against Mueller? Giuliani and Sekolow have been hinting toward corruption the past two days.

[jerod]

There is nothing wrong with the Judge saying "You might want to spend time on a loan that was granted."... The procecution was questioning a bank geek about a loan that wasn't granted. Why bother asking about loans that were not granted? Doh!

[DoodleDawg]

If the judge did it five minutes after the prosecution requested he correct an earlier crack he made in front of the jury then maybe the prosecution is threatening to request a mistrial? And the judge needs to confer with his superiors?

[raiderboy]

It means the judge has personal business.

Related to another court course.

The fix is in? He did apologize to mueller’s team after all...NEVER APOLOGIZE ITS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS! With all the shenanigans happening there in his courtroom you would think Ells would dismiss the whole joke of a trial by now. I believe Manafort has a chance in hell to escape the macabre deep state lynch mafia! ! He is so cooked!
