ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Reuters) - A federal judge on Friday sharply criticized Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s criminal case in Virginia against President Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and openly questioned whether Mueller exceeded his prosecutorial powers by bringing it.
“I don’t see what relationship this indictment has with anything the special counsel is authorized to investigate,” U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III in the Eastern District of Virginia said.
At a tense hearing at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, the judge said Mueller should not have “unfettered power” in his Russia probe and that the charges against Manafort did not arise from the investigation into Moscow’s alleged meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.
“It’s unlikely you’re going to persuade me the special counsel has unfettered power to do whatever he wants,” said Ellis...
Even federal judges are getting tired of this crap.

Yes, and it is about time. I am not a big Trump fan but I like
unfettered witch hunts a lot less. I thought Ken Starr and the RNC
was wrong to go after Bill Clinton the way they did, and I think this
Mueller investigation is out of control also.
Ahh, fans of international criminal Manafort...well, of course.

I pass no judgement on what Manafort did or didn't do. It's clear to
me however that it had little or nothing to do with the Tump
allegations. The feds were just hoping to flip him, and anyone else
who associated with Trump. It borders on abuse of power in my
opinion.
