Judge T.S. Ellis III revealed in open court Friday that he has received death threats relating to his presiding over Paul Manafort’s trial for bank and tax fraud at a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.
The judge has since retained the protection of the U.S. Marshals Service.
“I have the marshal’s protection,” Ellis said. “I don’t even go to the hotel alone. I won’t even reveal the name of the hotel.”
“I had no idea this case excited this emotion in the public,” he added.

It doesn’t excite the population... It’s a handful of Hillary Clinton computer-shackled-trolls and antifa members. They are few, but they are certifiably insane.
They like to think themselves many, as Legion.
“I had no idea this case excited this emotion in the public,” he added.

It’s not the public this judge and jury needs to worry about. It’s the leftist liberal media and dangerous idiot liberals who would get violent unless Manafort gets the whole 305 years.
Certainly not about crocodile jackets.
Nope .... this is all about pressure on Manifort to say something ... anything ... that can be used against President Trump.
And it is a great big boil on the ass of folks that know.
Just got back from shopping and picked up a couple more bags of popcorn.
Lunatic Leftists
If there are concerns that the jurors would not be safe because the leftists will harass and harm them and their families, that would be grounds for a mistrial if the Manafort is convicted. The prosecution is like a mob boss, the tables are turned from the normal case.
How can jurors render a fair verdict when even the judge is being threatened? This is a MISTRIAL.
The judge is in fear for his life and he has Marshall protection.
No rational juror can not be affected by the threat to them and their families if they don’t convict.
This is a pure MISTRIAL.
The original was correct if you think about it.
Antifa and the media are both part of the deep state.
One is hired to do the “wet work”, while the other is the propaganda wing.
Looken sharp Democrats!
Don't ever threaten a court or Judge...one day you may be facing them...
Mueller is scare he will lose...maybe he next can charge crazy old Al Sharpton with tax fraud...maybe he will look into the Crime Family Foundation...the world will explode...LMAO crooks all of them...Liars and Frauds too.
It’ll be great if they can quickly determine where the death threats against the judge originated.
Fox News is assisting the bad side.
Fascinating.
Many high up people committed very serious crimes to get Hillary Clinton elected, safe in the knowledge their crimes would never come to light under another Democrat administration. President Trump’s surprise win means they’re now in serious legal jeopardy which explains why their reaction to the 2016 election was so over the top, continuing to this day. These are literally cornered rats.
Leftists, anarchists, and other inherently violent a-holes threatened the judge, from the sound of it. Thanks detective.
That's right! And they are dreaming if they think they will get away it .
“I like this judge, so I sure hope he has his “suicide” insurance paid up.”
I have heard that SO MANY people have been listed as “suicides” on the Clinton Death List that now insurance companies offer special “suicide binders” so that they pay out even IF your death is OFFICIALLY ruled a suicide. Clinton people NEED that sort of policy provision!
It’s nyt, cnn, wapo and antifa types demanding the juror’s information. The threats to the judge come from the same holes.
My thought is that your group think prejudice against the DOJ is unwarranted
Have you made a list of those in your baliwick?
Don’t wait till the last minute
