I think Amy will tell Mueller to go to hell...and that he has no right to influence her court.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Mueller has a perfect right to enforce the law only against people he doesn’t like or who interfere with his selective prosecutions.

Do you have a problem with that?

says it’s for his safety as if any of the prisoners give a crap

. . . Mueller asked U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson to stop Manafort from arguing that the special counsel targeted him for “vindictive reasons.”

Amy Jackson appointed--and then re-appointed--by Barack Obama.

Looks like Mueller found the right judge.

The Swamp's "Get Trump" team has a deep bench.

Essentially.

Like that old joke: “your honor, I object!”

“On what grounds?”

“Council is destroying my argument.”

[for-q-clinton]

I’ve always thought that was bullcrap when a judge can tell a defendant he’s not allowed to use a certain defense. WTF! People should be allowed to defend themselves in court by any logic or illogical argument they want. Manafort can claim it and if he can prove it even better for him. But if he can’t prove it then it’s not going to go well for him.

Why is Mueller so scared?

[Rurudyne]

These Leftist would probably arrange a suicide in solitary if they could.

[Gahanna Bob]

Why aren’t the charges being prosecuted in the same court. How can a defendant properly defend him/herself fighting court cases in 2 different federal courts by the same prosecutor. That’s vindictive right there.

[WHBates]

Different Judge

[Bonemaker]

“And Manafort is selectively in jail, and selectively in solitary isolation.”

These criminals can do it to Paul they can do it any of us.

Thanks Jeff.

Can’t wait for the IG report about how thy tried to say Flynn violated the Logan Act...

No thats selective prosecution’

[Bonemaker]

“It isn’t hard to lose more respect for this country by the day.”

No shit! I didn’t wear a uniform 20 years for this kind of bull shit.

[CaptainK]

Unless I’m mistaken there are two trials going on with 2 different judges.

[Professional]

Why doesn’t the President say or do anything? Is this case being covered by the media?

Is it true he’s been jailed without being accused of a crime and being held in solitary confinement?

[Bonemaker]

“Why is Mueller so scared?”

Maybe some of his old Marine comrades are’t amused by his betrayal of America.

[JoSixChip]

President DJT keeps Mueller/Rosenstein going... keeps them in business.. when all he has to do is say You’re Fired

Simpleton much? I seem to remember the same argument being made for Trump to fire comey.

[faithhopecharity]

its his choice, really

POTUS can end much of this right now but does not. A strong AG would be in front of the mic and camera every day fighting this travesty but does not. The “Tail” is certainly “wagging the dog”. The whole thing is so bizarre.
