Federal judge accuses Mueller's team of 'lying,' trying to target Trump: 'C'mon man!' Jake GibsonA 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." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/05/04/federal-judge-accuses-muellers-team-lying-trying-to-target-trump-cmon-man.html IP: Logged |

A timely reminder to Mueller's team to stick to their core investigative mandate. And this is by no means a declaration of innocence for Manafort for his financial crimes. "Though Ellis largely skewered the special counsel's office on Friday, he also acknowledged to Manafort's lawyer the Justice Department's internal oversight and the detailed August 2 memo commissioning Mueller to investigate Manafort for his Ukrainian ties, which the special counsel's office allege connect him to Russians."This setback should enable Mueller's team to unseal some indictments. Mueller's goal is not to remove Trump but to capture all criminals piggy backing on Trump: From the Mercer Family to all Russian Mobsters/Money Launderers linked to Putin/Agalarov/Deripaska.
