Similar Stories to Judge Slaps Manafort Because Trump Plus Russia Equals Duh on Bing News

You can't fault Paul Manafort's lawyers for trying this tactic: that somehow looking at Paul Manafort's finances isn't at all related to the Trump Russia investigation so how dare Mueller even glance at the bank statements? Witch hunt! And of course the judge in the case went, um, duh, he's got four passports and money all over Ukraine funneled through Cyprus and a history with Russian sponsored politicians so yeah it's worth a look and Mueller wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't. The full decision is here, courtesy of Politico. And the money quotes? The indictment falls squarely within that portion of the authority granted to the Special Counsel that Manafort finds unobjectionable: the order to investigate ‘any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign. Manafort was, at one time, not merely ‘associated with,’ but the chairman of, the Presidential campaign, and his work on behalf of the Russia-backed Ukrainian political party and connections to other Russian figures are matters of public record.
