It's within his power to send them packing for being in the wrong court of law...........Also within his power to see that scope to make sure he isn't sending them to a lower court for them being out of bounds............Can't decide that without seeing it..........Now can he.Judge said what we've been saying all along. He's out of bounds with the scope of his investigation. In this case trying to charge Manafort with so called crimes from a decade before the so called collusion.
The Judge confirmed that none of this has anything to do with Russia, the Ukraine, and Collusion and asked why it was in his court room. Should be handled in a lower court.
The FBI is trying to sentence Manafort for over 300 years for tax evasion and money laundering charges that have nothing to do with the scope assigned to Mueller.
Dirty cops playing dirty and out of bounds with their assignment. They were chastised on that as well.Judge said what we've been saying all along. He's out of bounds with the scope of his investigation
It's not up to the judge or you to decide what is within Mueller's scope. That decision is made by Rosenstein who decided it was.
It's his COURT ROOM NOT MUELLERS...............TASTING REALITY YET.
No. There is only one authority on what the scope of Mueller's investigative and indictment powers are. Rosenstein.
He signed off on both the investigation and indictment of Manafort. There is therefore, no question to be answered.
Prosecutors: Rosenstein gave Mueller OK to probe, indict Manafort
"President Donald Trump's No. 2 appointee at the Justice Department, Rod Rosenstein, specifically authorized special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate former Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort and approved his indictment, prosecutors said in a court filing late Monday night.
Some Trump allies have suggested that by pursuing charges of money laundering, tax fraud and unregistered foreign lobbying against Manafort, Mueller is straying from his core mission of probing alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia prior to the 2016 election.
However, Mueller's team submitted a previously undisclosed memo to a federal court in Washington showing that a few months after Mueller was appointed last May, Rosenstein gave him explicit authority to target Manafort over the financial aspects of his lobbying work for the Ukrainian government — in addition to allegations he was linked to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"The May 17, 2017 [appointment] order was worded categorically in order to permit its release without confirming specific investigations involving specific individuals," Rosenstein wrote in the Aug. 2, 2017 memo. "The following allegations were within the scope of the Investigation at the time of your appointment and are within the scope of the Order: ... Allegations that Paul Manafort: Committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials with respect to the Russian government's efforts to interfere with the 2016 election for President of the United States, in violation of United States law. Committed a crime or crimes arising out of payments he received from the Ukrainian government before and during the tenure of President Viktor Yanukovych."
Done. There is no question at all.
