U.S. judge questions special counsel's powers in Manafort case
"I don't see what relationship this indictment has with anything the special counsel is authorized to investigate," U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III in the Eastern District of Virginia said. ...None of the charges relate, however, to Trump's 2016 presidential campaign or possible collusion with Russia. Trump has denied any collusion.
Manafort's attorney Kevin Downing has argued that the charges must dismissed because the FBI investigation dates back to 2014, and therefore did not arise from Mueller's probe. ...
The federal judge in Washington, Amy Berman Jackson, has not yet ruled on the request to dismiss that indictment.
About time someone question what they are doing, legally I mean.
Hope this forces the revealing of the unredacted scope doc.
Your best guess on the outcome would be?
