As I predicted:
US District Judge T.S. Ellis III on Tuesday denied Paul Manafort's motion to dismiss one of the indictments against him in the Russia investigation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ellis opined on Tuesday that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein adhered to Department of Justice protocol when he appointed Mueller to investigate "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump."
"Thus, the only issue is whether the Special Counsel's investigation and prosecution of the matters contained in the Superseding Indictment falls within" the scope of that mandate, he wrote.
Ellis concluded that it did.
