Judge not happy with Mueller

snippets
A federal judge on Friday sharply criticized Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s criminal case in Virginia against President Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and openly questioned whether Mueller exceeded his prosecutorial powers by bringing it.
“It’s unlikely you’re going to persuade me the special counsel has unfettered power to do whatever he wants,” said Ellis,
“Our investigative scope does cover the activity” in the indictment,” Dreeben told the judge.
“Cover bank fraud in 2005 and 2007? Tell me how!” Ellis retorted.
During the oral arguments, Ellis repeatedly chided Mueller’s $10 million budget.
He also asked whether Rosenstein, who oversees the probe and is considered an important witness into whether Trump tried to obstruct justice, is recused from the case.
And he repeatedly claimed that the indictment appeared to serve as a way for Mueller to “assert leverage” over Manafort.
“The vernacular,” he said “is to sing.”
Ellis complained that the bulk of that August memo he has received was highly redacted.
He directed Mueller’s office to take two weeks to consult with U.S. intelligence agencies to see if they will sign off so that he can personally review a sealed, unredacted version of the memo.
Dreeben told him the redacted portions did not pertain to the Manafort case.
“I’ll be the judge,” Ellis said.

Re: Judge not happy with Mueller

The Department of Justice has not changed their ruling that states - "Grand juries and prosecutors cannot supplant Congress."

It might be in your article, but I read and agree that Mueller is the "leading head" of the impeachment party for Congress right now.

He shouldn't have been given such broad instructions. He should focus on Russian Collusion and then just stop.

No matter what judge does what, Mueller will simply appeal their rulings, all the way to the SCOTUS. Then when the latter puts the final nail in the coffin, the left's venom will be turned on SCOTUS.

Re: Judge not happy with Mueller

The whole thing is a bogus enterprise and should be shut down.
Mueller and his merry band of democrats are willing to drag this whole thing endlessly.

Re: Judge not happy with Mueller

Isn't it strange that Mueller can't just be fired? Almost like the POTUS doesn't actually run much of anything...

Or... maybe Trump is capitalizing on his low approval and the distrust America has of him. Ratchet it up and keep the public distracted. It's all just a game. Nothing will become of it.

I'm interested, how could Trump benefit of "low approval" and "distrust" of Americans???

He could be. But then the media and Democrats would go insane and claim Trump should be impeached. Since they're likely to win the House in November, impeachment is a real threat to Trump.
