Judge Ellis Wants to See Mueller's Hunting License
By Clarice Feldman
My friend Tom Lipscomb, commenting on the newsworthy but welcome judicial challenge to the scope of the special counsel's power in the Manafort case in Virginia, says it reminds him of the Tom Lehrer song about a man and his hunting license. In relevant parts, the lyrics are:
I always will remember 'twas a year ago November,
I went out to hunt some deer,
On a morning, bright and clear.
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow,
Two game wardens, seven hunters and a cow. ...
The law was very firm – it took away my permit,
The worst punishment I ever endured.
It turned out there was a reason, cows were out of season,
And one of the hunters – wasn't insured.
1. Judge Ellis: "I'll be the judge"
The best account of the hearing before Judge Ellis I've found is in Reuters.

from the article:
As noted, Judge Ellis remarked upon Rod Rosenstein's conflict of interest in the investigation into whether Comey's firing amounted to obstruction of justice – a matter legally absurd enough on its face but made more so by the fact that Rosenstein himself (supposedly overseeing Mueller's work) was the very author of the memorandum to the president calling for Comey's firing.
But there's more.
At American Greatness, Julie Kelly indicates a ruling in which Mueller misrepresented to the court a significant matter that might well lead to his dismissal under the very law of his appointment.

I do find it amusing to note how much of others' work she pastes into her column...yet restricts others.

That's exactly why I included as much as I did.
All context would be lost.
