Trial Games: Prosecutor Asonye Tells Judge Ellis Key Witness May Not Testify in Manafort Case

CTH: Corrupt Robert Mueller’s ‘Clinton alliance team‘ of corrupt federal prosecutors begin playing corrupt trial and jury games they are famous for.

Corrupt federal prosecutor Uso Asonye was using corrupt FBI agent Mathew Mikuska (a member of the federal no-knock-team who raided Manafort’s condo), as a witness to introduce financial records against Manafort when Judge Ellis interjected about the purpose of the FBI agent as a witness on the issue given the pending testimony of key government witness Rick Gates, Manafort’s business partner.

Corrupt Mr. Asonye then informed the court Rick Gates might not be testifying.

Judge Ellis was not amused.

(Via Washington Times) 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.

“He may testify, he may not,” Mr. Asonye told Judge T.S. Ellis III.

The revelation sent journalists and others out of the courtroom to report the disclosure.

“That’s news to me and about 25 others who scurried out of here like rats on a sinking ship,” Judge Ellis shot back.  MORE

  1. The testifying FBI agent, Mikuska, was not involved in the creation of the documents that he was testifying about, nor did he participate in their execution. His testimony amounts to hearsay. Reading directly from a deposition would be appropriate, but he was stating his opinions, as his words could only be.
    Everything related to this witch hunt boils down to hearsay, and hearsay is not admissible evidence.

  2. Hmmmm, did mueller choose the wrong judge? Or is this a judge that still has a modicum sense of ethical justice.

    Hillary must be p.o.’d,, having paid for corruption and being betrayed, again. By now, the prosecution should have the jury ramped up with pitchfirks, ropes and torches.

    Solitary confinement….. I bet that also pissed off hillary and the Soros cabal, harder for a mysterious Manafort death to be arranged.

    I can hardly wait until the jury and judge begin to roll their eyes and giggle at the ‘persecution’s’ case.
