At one point, Ellis posed a hypothetical question, speaking as if he were the prosecutor, about why Mueller's office referred a criminal investigation about Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen to New York authorities and kept the Manafort case in Virginia. The answer seems so obvious and innocuous to me, I'm wondering why the judge asked it in the first place. Cohen lives in New York. Manafort lives in Virginia. Am I missing something here?

Cohen being prosecuted by the State of NY, Manafort by the Feds, possibly.

Mueller is free to bring charges in NY if he wants. Mueller let go of the Cohen case because it was out of his subject matter jurisdiction. If the Cohen case is out of his subject matter jurisdiction, then why isn't a 2005 tax case out of his subject matter jurisdiction?
