The argument: His lawyers, Kevin Downing and Thomas Zehnle, say the indictment isn't fair because Mueller is operating outside of the scope of his initial duty: to determine whether and how Russia worked with the Trump campaign during the 2016 election....
Rod Rosenstein [said,] "The special counsel is not an unguided missile... I'm very confident that when the history of this era is written, it will reflect that the department was operated with integrity."

Ouch!
Your font size almost poked my eye out!
Fire Rosenstein NOW; he’s out of his teensy widdle mind and lying through his teeth!
Even a "not in SC jurisdiction" would be amazing. I figure the judges don't want to enter the fray, and will somehow pass the buck back to DOJ. The last thing judges give a hoot about is defendants. It's all about protecting their turf first, and the system second.
Why is pos Rosenstein giving reassuring interviews to left wing USA Today, essentially criticizing Trump? Fire that dirty little creep.
>>Rod Rosenstein [said,] “The special counsel is not an unguided missile<<
Yes he is and thank you for the meme and tag.
He needs to be fired, yesterday.
Rosenstein thinks the US will be 1 Party Rule , Democrat Party and if this Fake Investigation continues that’s exactly what will happen
None of the judges thus far ever seem to agree with anything Manafort’s lawyers request. Not a one.
I hope this is different.
The judges are part of the swamp too.
LOL. The Special Counsel is a Scud Missile.
Fire the hole!
Robert Mueller is a Scud Missile.
Do people still think it’s 3-d chess?
On the face yes ... but ....
The whole investigation was set off by an illegal FISA warrant ...therefore Manafort can probably successfully argue that his indictment is “fruit of a poisoned tree” ...
A Federal prosecutor who is appointed to oversee an investigation in one matter does not have the option to ignore prosecutable offenses in unrelated matters.
Under the Entire Controversy Doctrine, any and all known criminal charges against a defendant must be brought at the same time. It's not like Mueller can carry out an investigation against Manafort and then leave matters to "another prosecutor" to pursue later. The legal system doesn't work that way. If Mueller is functioning as a Federal prosecutor, he must prosecute any Federal crimes involving his targets even if they don't have anything to do with the original matter he was appointed to investigate.
Robert Mueller is a Trebuchet Pumpkin!
