[Full Title] Federal Judge Catches Robert Mueller Using Preexisting FISA Title-1 Warrant Against Paul Manafort Instead of Title 3 Authority…

Today U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III appears to have caught on to an explosive issue CTH noted yesterday. In building the case against Paul Manafort, special counsel Robert Mueller’s team used the pre-existing FISA Title-1 warrant that was originally applied to U.S. person Carter Page and the Trump campaign.

Under normal criminal investigation any search warrant or surveillance warrant would normally proceed through U.S. courts, under Title-3, where the Mueller team would need to show probable cause for a warrant. However, by using the Title-1 warrant from the FBI counterintelligence operation, as extended by AAG Rod Rosenstein, Robert Mueller was able to use far more intrusive and unchecked searches and seizures for his criminal probe.

The media, and broad media-consumption public, are currently unaware the Mueller probe was simply a continuance of the 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation. Most people think the special counsel investigation is a separate issue. It’s not.

However, in addition to a scathing rebuke of the underlying prosecutorial premise, ie. Mueller trying to keep the originating structure hidden, Judge Ellis demanded today that Mueller unredact the August 2, 2017, instructions from AAG Rosenstein

CTH said for many months that there was a special prosecutor working with the IG...well before the media found out which was the same time as Sessions admission or anyone here assumed. He was right

Seems there's two Judge Ellis's.

But I dont get your point about what the thieving Congressman has to do with this.

========================================

Ex-congressman William Jefferson, of Louisiana, gets 13 years
Nov 13, 2009 - ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A former Louisiana congressman who famously hid $90,000 cash in his freezer was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking bribes, the longest term ever imposed on a congressman for bribery charges. William Jefferson, a Democrat who represented parts of New Orleans...

Fruit of the poisoned tree, my friend. Evidence obtained as a consequence of knowledge obtained illegally is not admissable.

Because that isn’t a photo of Judge Ellis, you probably should ask that the comment be deleted. Just a thought.

Wrong. Sessions letter appointing huber to review and report on 3 specific matters does not include investigating or prosecuting anyone. Read the letter, dont listen to idiots who interpret things. Sessions has people reporting back to him with recommendations for future courses of action. Nothing more.

Facts are facts, speculation and wishful thinking are not.

“Fruit of the poisoned tree, my friend. Evidence obtained as a consequence of knowledge obtained illegally is not admissable.”

No argument, but if they do claim that they obtained the evidence some other way, it’s up to the government to prove that was not the case, and that could be hard to prove, at least in some circumstances, obviously.

The irony is that multiple Trump associates are being prosecuted based on an illegal warrant.

RUSH: I need to make a correction. Judge T. S. Ellis is not African-American. In fact, he looks like Paul Giamatti. The reason that I made the mistake thinking he’s African-American is that he presided over the case of Congressman William Jefferson (Democrat-Louisiana), who was found stuffing $90,000 of cash into his freezer during Hurricane Katrina. And it is William Jefferson’s picture that appears in stories and he’s incorrectly identified as the judge.

I imagine a lot of people are making this mistake today. In a lot of places Judge Ellis is misidentified with photos of Congressman William Jefferson (Democrat-Louisiana). Ellis was the judge in Jefferson’s case, and they have a picture. I thought when I saw this it looked like William Jefferson. It looked like somebody I knew. I didn’t immediately think William Jefferson.

What is the URL of the authentic Trump website. I keep getting texts that say they are from Trump, but when I click on a link it goes to a gop.com. I will never donate another penny to GOP but I want to support Trump and whoever he endorses. Want to make sure donations go to the right place.

“..this is part of the coup going on against the duly elected government from within and outside....”

Yup. And as long as nothing is done to stop it, it’ll keep happening.

And nothing is being done to stop it, so...
