Are you kidding me? There is no honor among thieves.

At least the Federal Judge (T.S. Eliot) presiding over this case knows up front what the case is about and has been publicly berating prosecutors since even before the onset of the trial. Judge Eliot has accused Muller's team of lying and targeting Trump by going after Manafort. Anybody that has been paying attention can see that, but Judge Eliot is not scared to say it to their faces! The prosecutors don't care one whit about alleged overseas financial crimes that Paul Manafort may have committed from 2004-2013. The DOJ had already previously reviewed these very same charges and decided not to pursue them. But now the case is conveniently reopened and is going forward because Macaroni Man is desperate to get Trump by "hook or crook" since he has nothing else. Manafort will likely be acquitted by the jury if Judge Eliot doesn't first issue a directed verdict of acquittal from the bench. The whole charade is a waste of time and money, but Macaroni Man needs to make it appear that he is doing something besides getting rich.

Oops, sorry, had the Judge's name wrong T.S. Ellis, not T.S. Eliot!

Dimwits never would have even noticed, but would have been called out by more astute and highly educated Trump supporters. My bad!

That same judge apologized for inappropriate comments to the prosecution. Judges are not above the law either.

Yeah, I guess Judge Ellis hurt their feelings so they ran and filed a motion for remedy to stop him from being such a meanie, LOL! Yesterday, the lead prosecutor had tears in his eyes after Judge Ellis got on his azz so severely in front of the jury! Judge Ellis doesn't appreciate the fact that they are trying to railroad Manafort in his courtroom on his trumped up charges.

Manafort, is a CROOK. Whites have a monopoly on white collar crimes. You should know this KKK. It's inappropriate for any judge to interject their opinion when someone is being tried by a jury of their peers.

Manafort is a businessman. Whether or not Manafort is a crook remains to be seen. I think he will be acquitted. Anybody can see Manafort is being railroaded on total BS charges that nobody cared about UNTIL Macaroni Man decided Manafort might be useful in his quest to "get Trump". But first Manafort must be persuaded through tactics of coercion and intimidation to "flip"and testify against Trump about some fictitious and totally bogus charges. Not going to happen! Looking like all these shenanigans will ultimately backfire on Macaroni Man! Judge Ellis is well aware of all this. It's his job to closely monitor the proceedings and ensure that the prosecution is not permitted to bamboozle the jurors into convicting an innocent man for ulterior political motives.

Manafort is just one of many criminals that takes advantage of people until they are finally caught. It's illegal to launder money and not pay taxes on the money that he is hiding in foreign banks. You were a piss poor cop if you don't know this. SAD
