A judge sharply questioned whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller overstepped his authority by charging Paul Manafort with crimes unrelated to Russian election interference while also suggesting he was indicted to coerce him to cooperate against President Donald Trump.

“I don’t see how this indictment has anything to do with anything the special prosecutor is authorized to investigate,”[bold mine] Ellis said at a hearing in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, concerning a motion by Manafort to dismiss the case.

“You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud,” Ellis said. “You really care about what information he might give you about Mr. Trump and what might lead to his impeachment or prosecution.”
 
What was the connection between Monica Lewinsky and WhiteWater for the Republican Special Counselor to investigate that?

Karma is a bitch.

Prosecutors: Rosenstein gave Mueller OK to probe, indict Manafort
The new disclosures come in response to a motion Manafort's lawyers filed asking to have the criminal charges pending against him thrown out.


"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."

GOP Lawmaker Introduces Resolution to End Mueller Witch Hunt ‘Provide Evidence or Terminate Probe’ Within 30 Days

Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.), who is currently running for Senate, introduced a resolution in the House on Thursday calling for an end to special counsel Robert Mueller‘s Russia investigation unless evidence of collusion is produced within the next 30 days.

Rokita argued the investigation needs to be resolved quickly to “preserve the integrity of our democratic institutions.” Rokita added he believes it’s fiscally irresponsible to drag out the probe, estimating it has cost taxpayers upward of $17 million.

Rep Rokita also said “no one in government should be without accountability” and accurately stated Americans believe the Mueller witch hunt is “an attempt by the Washington elite to destroy President Trump with innuendo, leaks, and baseless allegations than to provide justice.”
