Rick Gates was destroyed on cross
This judge may throw the whole dam thing out.
Spatting with a federal judge only has one possible outcome.
That’s always best for the prosecutor, trying to make the judge angry at you. Always good for your case
I would not read too much into this judge’s questions. He may very well be establishing a high bar so that if Manafort gets convicted, there will be little for him to appeal over.
Even if Manafort is convicted of some of the charges, the judge is not likely to give him a harsh sentence.
You know what? I like this judge. He does not put up with any BS.

If Manafort has any chance at all at getting justice - it will be with this judge.
All the investigating from Trump to a friend of a friends Cat and Mueller got nothing
This is old news
Days old news
Astonishingly bad lawyers.
:-)
It is hard to see the prosecution winning this mess.
This judge should yell at Mueller to wrap it up, maybe even make him cry.
I bet they are complaining the judge is a Bush appointment. I’m so confused. I thought in all this Russia stuff, the Ukrainians were the good guys. They helped develop the profile on Trump did they not in an effort to support Clinton? And they are the victims of Russian aggression according to the Russo-phobes. But in THIS case they are the bad guys?
