The word does not appear to have reached Judge T.S. Ellis that Robert Mueller is a sacrosanct figure of reverence who can never be criticized or questioned in any way. That is the attitude of entire political class and the media, but Judge Ellis doesn’t seem to care.
And that’s a problem for Mueller because Ellis is the judge assigned to the trial of Paul Manafort. Now Manafort, the former Trump campaign manager, is charged with all kinds of things that have nothing to do with “collusion with Russia,” but so far he’s the only significant figure Mueller has charged with anything, so Mueller’s credibility rests a lot on the ability to make the charges against Manafort look legitimate.
