Rod Rosenstein will not be extorted by any judge!
This Judge is a Reagan appointee :)
You dont really care about Mr. Manaforts bank fraud, What you really care about is what information Mr. Manafort could give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump or lead to his prosecution or impeachment.
AMEN!....The truth.....finally.
His CV is remarkable.
I want Mueller investigated, when found to be guilty publicly shamed, and he should receive the death penalty for the coup.
It will be curious what mandate does exist, and how Sessions will explain this to the Senate later. The whole thing is collapsing in a fairly quick manner. I’d say Mueller has at best 30 days left.
Ellis for AG!
It isnt Sessions explanation to make. It is Rosensteins.
Judge Ellis may have just saved our country!
Unless he names all of the co-conspirators, then he can plea out. 8>)
I would have concluded that statement by calmly laying my side-by-side double barrel shotgun front and center on my bench.
I dont know where you got that picture, but that is not Judge Ellis in the EDVA. I have appeared before him in many cases and am quite familiar with him.
Yeah, but then the judge gives them two (2!) weeks to produce the scope doc. The Hoover building is just across the river from Alexandria.
How about, Courier that thing over by COB today, or else this case is dismissed with prejudice!!!
“But if Mr. Mueller refuses to turn over the full scope document concerning Mr. Muellers mandate, Judge Ellis would be justified in throwing out the indictment.”
For those familiar with ‘Stingrays’, which are portable ‘cell phone towers’ that the police use to monitor people’s communications (with or without a warrant); they were kept so secret for a while that governments would drop criminal cases when the defense attorneys got too close to forcing their existence to be disclosed. Obviously not such a big secret now.
In this case, Mueller really has no choice but to drop the Manafort case, due to the following:.
1. The judge is implying that if he doesn’t see the authorizing document, he throws out the case - if that happens, it shows that they are hiding some SERIOUS violations.
2. If the judge does see the documents, he’ll likely throw out the case, since they would have been provided by now, if there was nothing to hide. Obviously, the Manafort crap is well outside of the scope. The problem then becomes what of others being dragged around by Mueller (including Trump)...they now know that Mueller’s people are out of control, and they can fight him on those grounds.
3. If Mueller drops the case, then we’ll never be sure what’s in those documents...and Mueller will be a bit bruised, but he’ll still pretty much be free to keep roughing up people.
Bottom Line: Manafort walks....thankfully. Hopefully Trump reimburses him when this crap is over.
Thats not the good judges picture. That a picture of the corrupt (cash in the freezer) former congressman from Louisiana, William Jefferson.
I think the leftists at Wikipedia were trolling us by putting that picture in.

Works for me.
