Judge Ellis while your at it why don’t you release Manafort? You obviously have problems with Mule-low’s investigation in some way or another.

If I remember it right, at the hearing when she had such caustic remarks aimed at Mueller and the investigation in general, I think she determined the charges were valid and to let it go forward. Or didn't dare or was too afraid to take matters in her own hands

Plus there were other charges being heard by a different judge.
