It takes it out of Mueller's hands and is a huge blow to his investigation and its credibility because it underlines that Mueller is politically motivated to go after ancillary charges to try to "get at" Trump, giving Trump more political cover against Mueller. It also emphasizes the point that Manafort has nothing on Trump, and his prosecution in E. Virginia is purely for his own misdeeds with no connection to Trump (which is what ought to be the case, given Manafort was under investigation for financial issues before Mueller received his brief from Rosenstein). |

I have been disgusted with him for awhile. He is wrong. It’s not connected to Trump. Does it mean anything for Manafort? No - they can still bring it separate from SC. Does it help Trump? You betcha. There goes that fake connection trying to sully Trump. |

So what he says out loud in court is not an indication of what he will do. Court watchers say that this judge is prone to criticizing the prosecution and making them work but ruling in their favor in the end. |

Lol. Everyone knows it's a joke. No crime has been named. Not one shred of evidence, yet text, court docs, flimsy warrants, all exist that prove this was the "insurance policy" cited by skrock. |

Robert Mueller scores a victory as federal judge allows criminal case against Paul Manafort to move forward A federal judge in Washington DC is proceeding with the criminal case brought forward by special counsel Robert Mueller, regarding Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman. US district judge Amy Jackson declined to throw out the case against Manafort, who faces two indictments from the special counsel. "Given the combination of his prominence within the campaign and his ties to Ukrainian officials supported by and operating out of Russia, as well as to Russian oligarchs, Manafort was an obvious person of interest," the ruling said. A federal judge in Washington DC is proceeding with the criminal case brought forward by special counsel Robert Mueller, regarding Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman. US district judge Amy Jackson declined to throw out the case against Manafort, who faces two indictments from the special counsel. Manafort is charged in Virginia and Washington with tax and bank fraud connected to his lobbying work for the Ukrainian government and pro-Russia interests in Ukraine. The judge deemed that the indictment "falls squarely within that portion of the authority granted to the Special Counsel." "Given the combination of his prominence within the campaign and his ties to Ukrainian officials supported by and operating out of Russia, as well as to Russian oligarchs, Manafort was an obvious person of interest," the ruling reads.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 76460002 United States 05/15/2018 10:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday ruled against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort by saying the investigation of alleged financial fraud falls within the mandate of special counsel Robert Mueller‘s Russia Probe. This is notable because the Trump Administration, including Donald Trump, used Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) Judge T.S. Ellis‘ pointed line of questioning about Mueller’s authority a week and half ago in a separate fraud case to suggest that even a federal judge recognizes that a witch hunt is afoot. USA Today reporter Brad Heath tweeted out Berman Jackson’s reasoning for denying a motion to dismiss this afternoon. She said: the Manafort indictment falls “squarely within” Mueller’s authority; the investigation was “logical and appropriate; special counsel regulations do not “create any substantive rights for the benefit of individuals under investigation”; Mueller would have been “remiss” to ignore this “obvious potential link” between Manafort’s alleged Ukraine dealings and Russia’s election interference.
