Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsReality check on the Manafort judge...thing...panic...what have you.
Anyone know what happens if he rules in favor of the sitting fascist?
Manafort's case dismissed?
No jeopardy attaches?
Judge can't shut down Mueller?
Make Mueller refer the case to a US Atty Office?
Obviously the optics suck, but the fascist has been and will continue with that propaganda campaign.

or DC (wherever?). However it could be used to influence other judges' decisions which is scary.
