ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Reuters) - A federal judge on Friday sharply criticized Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s criminal case in Virginia against President Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and openly questioned whether Mueller exceeded his prosecutorial powers by bringing it.

“I don’t see what relationship this indictment has with anything the special counsel is authorized to investigate,” U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis in the Eastern District of Virginia said.

At tense hearing at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, the judge said Mueller should not have “unfettered power” in his Russia probe and that the charges against Manafort did not arise from the investigation into Moscow’s alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

This judge must not have been informed. Mueller is the new 4th branch of our government.

I was in the car a while today and tuned in Rush.

He is right. We have s special prosecutor who is way out side his authority.

 

It seems this stormy d thing has nothing to do with Russia. 

I do find it amusing the pubs are rasing sand about the same thing Star did to the Clintons

Seems to be the case.  Starting to see a lot more push back on Mueller's team.
