I don't give a shit about Manafort personally he is an idiot who did shit for Ukraine that has NOTHING to do with the actual investigation and it shouldn't be allowed in.Her rulings thus far..are well within recognized precedent. Manafort is going down..as he should. Why you would defend such an obvious criminal..baffles me.And it will get appealed and appealed and appealed etc etc etc....her lovely criminal rulings will help with appealing his kangaroo court convictionI'm sure your opinion keeps her up at nights. Nonetheless...she has ruled..and the ruling is legal. Your kicking and screaming just makes it a bit sweeter.ShockerSo much for all that nonsense:
Judge: Special counsel had authority to prosecute Manafort
"A federal judge in Washington ruled Tuesday that special counsel Robert Mueller was working within his authority when he brought charges against President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman.
The decision was a setback for Paul Manafort in his defense against charges of money-laundering conspiracy, false statements and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. Manafort had argued that Mueller had exceeded his authority because the case was unrelated to Russian election interference.
But U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson disagreed, siding with prosecutors who had produced an August 2017 memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. The memo shows Rosenstein authorized Mueller to investigate Manafort's Ukrainian work and related financial crimes.
Jackson had previously thrown out a civil case Manafort brought challenging Mueller's authority.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for the special counsel's office, declined to comment.
The decision allows one of two criminal cases against Manafort to proceed.
In addition to the Washington indictment, Manafort also faces charges in Virginia of bank fraud and tax evasion. The Virginia indictment accuses him of hiding tens of millions of dollars he earned advising pro-Russia politicians in Ukraine from 2006 through 2015. It also accuses him of fraudulently obtaining millions in loans from financial institutions including while he worked for the Trump campaign."
Democrat
Obama appointee
Helped Clinton skate on the Benghazi murders
Thinks she is allowed to FORCE the Catholic church to give birth control to women
And four years ago, she sided with the Obama administration request and put on hold a lawsuit by House Republicans demanding papers related to former Attorney General Eric Holder’s botched Fast-and-Furious gun-tracking operation.
Ah yes made sure the Obama regime could hide its CRIMINAL activity
This THING is a piece of shit criminal herself.
It must suck..to always be on the losing side--and then..to win...only to find out..that you lost all along!
