Manafort sues Mueller, Justice Department
By Brandon Carter - 01/03/18 03:10 PM EST

President Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has filed a lawsuit challenging the authority of special counsel Robert Mueller.

In a court filing, lawyers for Manafort argue that the order establishing Mueller's investigation is overly broad and not permitted under Justice Department regulations.

“The investigation of Mr. Manafort is completely unmoored from the Special Counsel’s original jurisdiction to investigate ‘any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump,’” the complaint reads.

“It has instead focused on unrelated, decade-old business dealings — specifically, Ukraine political campaign consulting activities of Mr. Manafort.”

Manafort pleaded not guilty to multiple counts in October, including conspiracy against the United States and money laundering related to his work for a pro-Russia political party in Ukraine.

Good for him. Hold their feet to the fire. The FedGov shouldn't be allowed to do witch hunts, no matter who it is.

Flynn should file the same suite, changing the facts as applies to him.

The evidence of collusion within the FBI and use of the dossier to obtain the FISA warrant should be enough to overturn any conviction.   one would hope anyway
