Boom!!!! Judge in Manafort case says Mueller only wants to hurt Trump

[The2ndAmendment]

If there's one thing we can all agree on, thank god we fight these civil wars in court instead of in blood.

 

[BULLDOG]

And now parts that were left out in the OP.
========================================
You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud,” Judge T.S. Ellis III said during a morning hearing. “You really care about getting information Mr. Manafort can give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump and lead to his prosecution or impeachment.”
Manafort was seeking to have the bank and tax fraud charges against him dismissed in federal court in Alexandria, with his lawyers arguing that the alleged crimes have nothing to do with the election or with President Trump.
Ellis agreed, but he made no immediate decision on the defense motion. He said even without such a connection the special counsel, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election, may well still have the authority to bring the charges
“I’m not saying it’s illegitimate,” Ellis said.
Federal judge in Virginia grills special counsel on Manafort investigation
====================================

Oh fucking bite me. The point of the Judge's statement is he is pointing out the freaking motive.

Not sure how that has any bearing on the legality of the case. Care to point out the legal reason why Manafort's case shouldn't continue?

Flynn will walk...Manaforte will walk...Trump gets a second term...

So you are ok with tax evasion and Flynn. Shows how patriotic you are. Ok to collude with foreigners and interfere in a Potus election. Most of you trumpers are like trump , birds of a feather, and I consider him a crook.

Unfreaking real. Awesome development.

"You don't really care about Mr. Manafort's bank fraud," District Judge T.S. Ellis said to prosecutor Michael Dreeben, at times losing his temper. Ellis said prosecutors were interested in Manafort because of his potential to provide material that would lead to Trump's "prosecution or impeachment," Ellis said.

"That's what you're really interested in," said Ellis, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

He repeated his suspicion several times in the hour-long court hearing."

The judge is obviously politically motivated, which is something he absolutely should not be doing. He should be removed from his position.

Penelope and Esmeralda, you seem to be a triggered, and exceedingly low information people. The Crooked Hillary crooks who colluded to overturn our Presidential election got PWND by a federal judge of all things. Hopefully, the judge hired a personal bodyguard to avoid being Seth Riched.

Leave Hillary out of this, we are talking about the crooked Trump, crooked Manafort and bias judge. You seem to be short of knowledge. A bias judge hired by Reagan. Voice voted in.

That judges opinion means nothing and he should not of brought it up, Manafort is crooked, and that is what he should concentrate on, I imagine he had a personal call from Trump, since he seems to be a trumper.

Also the GOP has been through Hillary for what , since 92 and have got nothing. I guess that makes her innocent. They have raked the Clintons over the coals since 92 and nothing.

All of B. Clintons presidency, and you have an issue with Mueller, you have long ways to go.

Either the Clintons are inncent, or the right is REALLY incompetent.

Pretty soon, if they don't impeach Trumpov..
He will have the ideal scenario

They fire Kelly
Leaving just he and (no security clearance) Jared in the West Wing,

Sharing intelligence on every Bank and competitor (and using it).
Making deals with Russians on the phone unhampered.. Policy for money/access, etc

`

Your paranoid fantasies are utterly hilarious.

The latter is definitely true.

Federal judge accuses Mueller's team of 'lying,' trying to target Trump

WASHINGTON – A federal judge on Friday harshly rebuked Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team during a hearing for ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort – suggesting they lied about the scope of the investigation, are seeking “unfettered power” and are more interested in bringing down the president.

“You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort,” U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III told Mueller’s team. “You really care about what information Mr. Manafort can give you to lead you to Mr. Trump and an impeachment, or whatever.”

-------------

It is all falling apart for the Left, to quickly, to soon, to far away from the midterms.

I know it, you know it, they know it!

It is virtually over, but on here since they can change handles so easily, they have to pretend they still have a case, lolololol!

falling apart for the left?

Were they "not interested in it to further our core effort to get Trump," Ellis said, mimicking a prosecutor in the case.

So, you just ignore the crimes of Trump's campaign manager? who worked for free?
Rosenstein authorized the scope of probe.
(since when does a investigator not care about bank fraud)

Manafort is mainly prosecuted for crimes he is alleged in doing over a DECADE AGO!

It's a drumhead, dudmuck!

Hasn't the statute of limitation expired on anything that happened 10 years ago?

It will be a money deal to bankrupt Manafort
No way does Rosenstein wanna turn over that memo
They won’t turn it over
Manafort case gets thrown out, mueller appeals
Judge shops to DC

Not in the slightest.

You are the one who is low information. Pretty much all of the 'crooked Hillary' stuff is RW propaganda. You people swallow so many RW lies your brains are nothing but mush. Just try to think logically: if she had done even a fraction of what you people claim (which includes a chain of murders) why has she never been formally accused, indicted or sentenced??? You people seem to believe she owns every law enforcement agency on the planet, including a Republican dominated Congress who interrogated her for 11 hours straight.

How completely stupid you are. You believe it is okay for a judge to voice political opinions from the bench: something which is the antithesis of what they are supposed to be do. A judge is supposed to be unbiased. His voicing political opinions from the bench should be a reason to remove him.

The person whose brain is mush is you. You are just too far gone to realize it.

What you consider ‘low information’ are people who have not absorbed all the ludicrous RW propaganda you have. High information people know the difference between reality and facts as opposed to bullshit propaganda. Get a brain.

 

[Snouter]

You people seem to believe she owns every law enforcement agency on the planet...

Is the FBI enough? Slimeball, lyin' Comey for starters! Esmeralda, did you graduate high school? If so, where. Just curious.

Did the FBI indict her? Moron. You think she owns the FBI and every other law enforcement agency in the US? You're an idiot. Your brain is nothing but mush.

 

[candycorn]

The judge is correct that the feebs are using the bank fraud case to twist Manafort's life to get the dope on Trump.

So what?

That is how these things work.

no, the judge is claiming the prosecution doesn't care at all about maniforts guilt or innocence, he is making the case that the prosecution is abusing the legal system because Manifort is not bearing false witness for them...that's how this thing is going

Good to know the judge is now handicapping the investigation....I wonder if he has any intel on today’s action at Santa Anita

In the context of Trump, Russia, collusion, it is over, and everyone knows it, except maybe you. Now, if you want to talk about what Manefort did 10 years ago, that is fine. Let it be known though that he was under investigation BEFORE he became Trumps temporary campaign manager, so is kind of out of the scope of the special counsel. Let it also be known that the scope was set AFTER the raid of his home, which is kind of shaky legal ground.

For you Leftists on here who do not follow this whole fiasco closely, you better understand you now need to change your position. Even most media has had to, as pushing the collusion/delusion has gotten their favorite people (the Dimikrauts) into more hot water than Trump. And do you know why the media has switched gears also? Because the collusion/delusion is going to take a very, very, VERY nasty turn when the IG report drops, now that he has a Utah prosecutor on his team to indict.

I know, I know, if you haven't followed closely or weren't paying attention, you are scratching your head or possibly laughing, mumbling something like, "no way Jose," but you better start looking into it before poop smacks you in the face as you weren't aware you might have to duck soon-)

Lets all be honest with what has happened, and everyone can see it------------->

1.The media started this collusion by using leaks.

2. The leaks they reported on looked very bad for Trump.

3. The Republicans even bought into the notion.

4. Then something AMAZING happened! Someone took all the reports (leaks) from the media, put them together, and realized there was something really wrong there. (and you could do it too if you wanted to for yourself with minimal research, you don't have to take my, or their word, you could prove it to yourself)

5. When the "something is really wrong here" was 1st brought out, every Democrat in congress, the FBI, the DOJ, and the media laughed and said, "conspiracy," remember! Funny thing was----------> it was the medias OWN reporting that was used, and the leaks provided to them by the left-) And so, either the media had to RETRACT what they had written, or stand behind their sources and words. They STOOD BEHIND IT.

6. And that is how YOUR side has screwed itself, lol, because the reporting and facts did not jibe. The timeline was impossible without prior knowledge by the leakers, and everything they said has now opened a can of worms for..........in all honesty.......the LAST administration, thus the Democrat hierarchy. Why do you think people are leaving in droves?

7. And let me be the 1st to tell you this-------------> see all those Republicans resigning or not running for reelection? Know why? Cause Trump is guilty, correct, and they have no chance, right! Nope!!!! Because while there is always turnover, some of these are because they know what is coming. The swamp is NOT just made of Democrats you know, and it wasn't only Democrats who wanted Trump out to keep the status quo.

8. Did you see that Baker and Paige resigned from the FBI? Yes, I mean that PAIGE!!!!!! Gee, wonder why now-) Oh, I know what they said in a statement, but, we all know that is baloney-macaroni-and cheese, lol.

Ummmmmmmm, yeah Lefties, you really need to start paying a little more attention!

 

[eagle1462010]

ROSENSTEIN SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR ABUSING HIS POWER. HE HAS NO AUTHORITY TO BROADEN MUELLER'S SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION.

THAT is your only comment? That is completely wrong. IN fact-- get this -- Rosenstein is the one person on the planet with this authority, given that Sessions recused himself.

You could not be more wrong if you tried.

And that guy wrote the report to recommend the firing of Comey...........oh how the circle of BS goes.

They they try to proceed on Obstruction of Justice when Trump does the very thing they recommend doing. What a crock of shit.
