Judge Ellis slams Mueller "star witness may not testify"

In a shocking admission Wednesday morning, federal prosecutors said Rick Gates may not testify in the trial of his former business partner Paul Manafort.
Mr. Gates, who oversaw some of the financial dealings of Mr. Manafort’s consulting business, was expected to be a key witness for the government.
But prosecutor Uso Asonye said jurors may not hear from Mr. Gates after all.
Then Ellis stated
quote:
That’s news to me and about 25 others who scurried out of here like rats on a sinking ship,” Judge Ellis shot back.
Mr. Asonye attempted to backtrack, telling Judge Ellis that the evidence presented will determine if Mr. Gates‘ testifies.
That drew a sharp rebuke from Judge Ellis.
“You know who you are going to call,” He said. “If you are going to call him then this is a waste of time.”

Federal prosecutors are the worst. They make a game out of people's lives and do whatever it takes to win, regardless of who they destroy along the way.

Actually, it sounds like this judge is doing their job and keeping the events on track and by the book.
A cluster would be not holding the parties involved accountable.

I almost cannot wait to see how much more smug Mannafort can get. IF he were to beat this rap....that dude will set the smug world record

This is starting to sound reminiscent of the Baltimore PD officers' trial

I’m confused. Are they trying to pretend they won’t call him to later do so and catch the defense off guard?

Just like the Supreme Court did to one of the prosecutors in this case, Andrew Weissmann.

For being damn near 2 years in the making, these clowns appear to not even be in the vicinity of having their shite together. That alone speaks volumes about this "investigation".

The prosecutors can call or not call anybody on their list
The judge can say whatever he wants

Still not a good look to not call the witness your entire case is supposed to built around.
