"President Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, took the unusual step on Wednesday of suing the special counsel and asking a federal court to narrow his authority."

The NYT reports.
He sued both Mr. Mueller and Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who appointed him. The lawsuit said Mr. Rosenstein had improperly given Mr. Mueller the authority to investigate “anything he stumbles across while investigating, no matter how remote.”... The charges against Mr. Manafort date back years, well before he began working for Mr. Trump. His lawyers argue those charges exceed Mr. Mueller’s jurisdiction because he was authorized only to investigate separate matters if they arose from the Russia investigation.

Everything Obama did has turned out to be an abject failure. Even after trying to prop up the Mullahs, ship them billions of dollars illegally, and keep them in power... it looks like they are all taking refuge in Turkey now. The regime may not get nukes after all.

And we watch the leftists descent into madness continue. Will you cheer when the leadership of the democrat party and the FBI is in jail? You should.

Of course,ttr sides with the murderous mullahs and is utterly indifferent to real human suffering. That is how leftist are.that is how they roll. They love tyranny.

Ritmo is everything he pretends to hate.

Remember, the only reason for a special counsel, is because the FBI is corrupt and inc apable of doing the investigation, and Rod Rosenstien was too corrupt to prosecute.
But to the meat of the lefts outrage, I have never got the timeline to work. IF President Trump colluded with the Russions, why all the meetings after the fact to communicate about information that President Trump helped unearth? (and no one questions the varacity of) The left is very successfully conducting two invesitigations that cannot logically co-exist. There is no evidence, but every hypothetical about the collusion, happened after the fact of the phoney collusion to gather the information.
