‘Look At Me! Don’t Look Down!’ — Manafort Judge Excoriates Prosecutors In 10 Minute Courtroom Beatdown
http://dailycaller.com/2018/08/06/ma...room-beatdown/

Mueller's team wants to keep the political rhetoric up, citing wealth as reason to consider Manafort's guilt...this judge is having none of this.
Stick to the facts, not some social justice crap............
Judge dismissed the jury for this ass chewing................hahahahahahahaha
Mueller's already lost this thing. He's even left his posse in the middle of the battle............

Just making sure the prosecution dot's the i's and crosses the t's, as they are doing. The judge doesn't want any grounds the case getting appealed or going to a retrial.

Hard to see how Manafort wins. Juries almost never buy the "everyone is lying about me" defense.

You keep that in mind.

[Captdon]

The judge told the jury that Gates was inconsistent. This judge is going to dismiss the case with predjudice.

[Peter1469]

This judge doesn't play around.

Lol, are you guys reading about the same trial I am?

No, we're watching the Manafort trial. You're watching Judge Judy.

"Kevin Downing, the lead defense lawyer, began cross-examination Tuesday by hammering at Mr. Gates’s credibility, demanding an exact accounting of when he lied to the government and pleaded guilty to the charge of doing so. Mr. Gates seemed to struggle to articulate that timeline, prompting Judge T. S. Ellis III to intervene."

Gates lied. Gates got his deal. Gates is composing.

Manafort is innocent, isn't he?

His crime is he is rich.

[MisterVeritis]

"Gates has already testified about illegal activity he undertook with Manafort from 2008-2015, claiming that he underreported Manafort's income, lied to Manafort's accountants and to the FBI."

"Gates also said that Manafort kept up with "very frequent updates" of the bank accounts and their transactions. "Except the money that you stole from him... he didn't do it that closely," Judge Ellis interjected."

Gates admitted he had not informed KWC about various entities "at Mr. Manafort's request." At this point, Downing began questioning Gates about why there was no direct evidence of these "discussions" with Manafort.
Downing asked, "This jury is supposed to believe you...after all the lies?" Gates responded, "I'm here to tell the truth."


The problem with lying frequently is how hard it become to remember what the truth is.

[Major Lambda]

"While Gates will be a key witness against Paul Manafort, his early testimony was just as much a reckoning of his own wrongdoing. He admitted that he was a party not only to what he said was Manafort’s fraud, but that he committed wrongdoing that was all his own"

We don't hear much about this central trial do we?

Today Gates claimed he broke laws at Manafort's direction.

The judge beat the prosecutors repeatedly.

I believe Manafort is innocent.

Manafort is guilty, guilty as hell. No doubt, the Prosecution has the evidence and Manafort by the throat. But is appears to me that the Prosecution is trying to add more spices to the case to damage Manafort, the republican party, as well as President Trump. Anything to help Sessions and Mueller to spill acid and dissolve the White House.

It's not a court case, it is a media circus that is not short of scape goats.

You do realize that part of all of this is for media purposes only as well as the image, right?

Their ‘evidence’ is an admitted liar.
