It is a good thing the law about double jeopardy no longer applies, we did not get him last time, but we plan to this time, It shows how pathetic a team Muellers 20 mule team really is.
Defendant’s lawer is a little lame as welt.
I’m not a lawyer, but READ THIS

“Judge Ellis’s 7/24 Order precludes Manafort “from presenting argument or evidence at trial that any former gov’t investigation” ended w/ a decision to not prosecute”
Don’t understand the legalese details, but PERTINENT and IMPORTANT
Czar- I think they can shred Rosenstein with this. They can find a way around it by forcing him to appear.
Czar, at your link, T. A. said what I was thinking:
“The irony of this is that “in limine” is normally requested by the defense to keep the prosecution from presenting evidence at trial that could be prejudicial to the defendant.”
It’s like the exact opposite of everything we’ve been told about our wonderful judicial system and the sacrosanct rights of the defendant.
The order comes from a pre-trial motion called an in limine motion. [in lim in ee]. It limits admissible evidence before the trial starts. All sides are entitled to bring the motion, and in civil cases they do. As Third Twin says, in criminal cases its usually just the defense bringing the motion.
The motion in this was made by the prosecutors, arguing the earlier matter is more prejudicial to their case than it is probative of any relevant fact in the case. Both sides had a chance to tell the court their position on the matter, and the court made a ruling.
Basically, the only way around this is if evidence comes in from the prosecutor’s questions, and answers to those questions, which violate the order. When that happens, the other side is no longer precluded from offering the evidence. They opened the door and the other side can walk through.
Rosenstein is bound by the order along with Manafort’s team. The prosecution would have to do something violating the order before Manafort could offer evidence about the earlier matter.
@ALL TOO MUCH
“Rosenstein is bound by the order along with Manafort’s team. The prosecution would have to do something violating the order before Manafort could offer evidence about the earlier matter.”
Like have their ‘star witness’ Gates get cross examined?

Happens ALL the time. Is standard procedure in “administrative proceedings”.
Just because you were accused of being “in violation”, and were found to not be “in violation”, doesn’t mean you can not be accused, and found guilty, for doing the exact same thing, again.
Ooops. Ladies and gentlemen. Submitted for your approval: The Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight.
Sadly, guilt isn’t enough to make the difference when it comes to operatives on the Left. Being caught RED HANDED just gets them a slap on the wrist and a pat on the head as they’re sent off to wreak worse havoc on the US. I can’t understand how this happens so openly and is still allowed to continue unchecked.
