Judge T.S. Ellis’ campaign of critical and sassy comments directed toward the federal prosecutors in Paul Manafort’s tax and bank fraud case escalated to making one of them cry.The prosecution is getting spanked and Ellis isn't buying any of their bullshit and they know it.
“I understand how frustrated you are,” Ellis told Greg Andres, a member of the prosecutorial team. “In fact, there’s tears in your eyes right now,’’ Andres said he wasn’t crying, to which Ellis responded: “Well, they’re watery, sure looks like you're crying to me, look at me when I'm talked to you.”
When Ellis scolded Andres for not looking at him during their exchange, Andres said, “I don’t want to get in trouble for some facial expression. I don’t want to get yelled at again by the court when I’m not doing anything wrong, I'm just trying my best to present my case.’’
