Interesting, I guess after he read the full unredacted order from Mueller he let it move on.
“U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III issued the ruling. Ellis had previously grilled Mueller’s team, questioning whether they brought the case to get Manafort to testify against Trump.”
Yeah, not a shocker here by any means. I know this will disappoint a great many conspiracy theorists here who just knew for certain that the line of questioning of the Mueller team by Ellis was proof-positive that Mueller has overstepped his bounds.
The judge’s observation was — and they had no good answer for him — that they’re just going after Manafort, they’re not even interested in Manafort, all they want to do is kind of trap the president. So that’s really important to us because we don’t want him trapped.”
“It’s good to have an independent member of the judiciary point that out,” Giuliani added.
Trump had even read some of Ellis’ quotes aloud during a National Rifle Association rally, and as late as early June, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani had built up suspense around the ruling, saying the judge was taking weeks to craft an opinion because “there’s a real problem” with Mueller’s appointment.
