and?

Sounds like judicial activism to me. The judge's comments are way beyond the pale in themselves.

you don't think a judge should ask questions when he thinks there has been an abuse of government power? you suddenly think this is activism?

US Supreme Court to Judges: STOP Prosecutorial Over-reach!

Mueller's prosecutors dropped a telling hint about Manafort's case to a federal judge this week
Experts say it's unlikely Ellis will ultimately dismiss the charges against Manafort. But in the event that he does, the US attorney's office for the Eastern District of Virginia will likely pick up the thread.

"This is a scathing, detailed indictment against Manafort," Cramer said. "They've got him cold. The only question now is whether Mueller or the US attorney's office will charge him."

And whether Trump will pardon him the day after the November 2018 elections.

The point is neither of us know who’s on Mueller’s team. I just believe people can be competent professionals regardless of their politics. But keep screaming about the evil boogie man George Soros, it really makes you look tethered to reality.

Pretty certain that was the first time I've mentioned Soros. Point is these efforts are well financed by deep pockets.

there are many ways this could go including the judge narrowing the focus of this case to align with the SP's mandate.

You keep forgetting what the mandate is, it’s wide open.

There’s enough evidence against Manafort, why shouldn’t he be prosecuted?

How do you know its wide open? They have never produced the original unredacted memo specifying exactly what he was to investigate. A special prosecutor is not allowed to have unlimited power to do anything he feels like. Mueller got slapped down for that by the judge.

My point all along about evidence. If they have evidence against Trump why don't they proceed with their findings to Congress?

Leaked court transcripts reveal showdown between judge and Mueller lawyer. It’s a total beatdown.

And why was memo redacted? Why the shroud of secrecy?

"...and any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation."

Exactly which part of that is confusing?

I'm not sure this guy is really helping Trump..

On Sunday Giuliani told ABC’s This Week he was “not really involved in the Daniels thing” and added, when confronted with inconsistencies between his statements and the president’s: “Right now I’m at the point where I’m learning.”

Giuliani: Trump would have had lawyer pay off more women 'if necessary'

Has to be within the authorized narrow limits. No fishing expeditions. If Mueller can't link Manafort to the Russian collusion case he was supposed to be investigating the judge might toss out the case.

"and any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation."

‘Any’ matters.

Seems crystal clear to me.

Have you read the original unredacted memo that says that?

And what about Kerry in stealth mode sneaking around talking to our enemies.....he should be SHOT!!

any other matters within the scope of28 C.friend.R. § 600.4(a).

It still has to be within those limits.

And it has to be a direct result of the investigation. Not something from many years earlier.

“If the Special Counsel believes it necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute Federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters”.

Crystal clear.
