Political discussions about everything

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.

“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.’’
The prosecution is getting spanked and Ellis isn't buying any of their bullshit and they know it.

The fact that Mueller's lead prosecutor broke down in tears when dressed down by the judge demonstrates the quality of people that are on that team. Today the Judge told the jury he doesn't believe Mueller's star witness, Gates has been truthful and saying what ever it takes to avoid prison for crimes he's committed.

I can give a rat's ass what happens to Manafort, his association with the Clintons and Obama Administration tells me all I need to know about him. The important thing is this is Mueller's first trial after a $20 million dollar investigation and all the resources the United States has to offer to find Russian collusion and he's not going to be able to show that connection, EVERYTHING Mueller is going after happened during the Clinton and Obama Presidency. I'm loving it!!!! :D

What do you mean "he's not going to be able to show that connection"?
Dimwit, Trump just saved him the trouble and tweeted an admission of campaign collusion, throwing Jr. under the bus.

And as far as Manafort being connected to Clinton and Obama, aside from being made up, then how do you account for Trump only hiring "the best people"? Why did he hire such a scumbag to run his campaign? :o

Are you saying Trump is incompetent and a lousy judge of people? :lol: :lol: :lol:
#106260
then how do you account for Trump only hiring "the best people"?
Trump only "retains" the best people, you'll notice Trump dumped him before he was elected and didn't offer him a position in his Administration. That's where greatness comes in, anyone can make a bad hiring decision if you're hiring thousands of a people, only a libtard would retain that bad hire.

^^^^^^ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now RealTool is even lying about Trump's own words.

Why do you have so little respect for what Trump says about himself, Tool?

It looks like you're beginning to see the light. :o :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Clown had this been Ojackass the biggest failure of a president in history. He would have looked the other way, given the douche a position in his administration. LIke he did with Hillary. You know look the other way while screwing Americans.
Ojackass knows its sheep like you who no matter what crimes are committed you well blindly cheer him on

Mueller's lead prosecutor Andres, suddenly left the courtroom today causing the judge to ask the other members of Mueller's team where he had gone. They seemed as confused as the judge.

This trial is demonstrating the incompetence of the Mueller team and the whole Russian investigation.

Manafort’s defense: I was investigated for all this by the government eight years ago, and I was exonerated. And I’m going to put on the stand as my first witness the young lawyer who exonerated me.

You know who that young lawyer is? Rod Rosenstein.

You heard right. Manafort was “exonerated” by federal prosecutors led by Rod Rosenstein.

Manafort is being prosecuted for undisclosed foreign bank accounts TWO YEARS ago and bank fraud two years ago and tax evasion two years ago.
Dude, judge Ellis has already answered that. He pointed out Manafort was investigated years ago for his practices and found they weren't a crime, so unless the laws have changed the DOJ has created an estoppel.

Translation for libartds - The government can't convict him for activities the government blessed off on.

"...Manafort was investigated years ago for his practices and found they weren't a crime..."-RealTool

Tool, you're contradicting yourself.

On another thread you said the case was declared "Nolle prosequi" which does not mean a crime wasn't committed or that the guy was exonerated, the way johnforbes lied abut it.

It just means the prosecution was abandoned.

That sort of thing can happen when you don't have an irrefutable butt-load of evidence against a guy, unlike the way they have it against Manafort today.

When your defense is "heck yeah I did everything you claim, but I didn't think it was prosecutable" you know you're really in trouble when they finally do prosecute you. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Translation - The government investigated Mueller's activities and determined they didn't warrant prosecution. Keep it simple dude so Elk can follow.
