It looks like Mueller’s prosecutors can’t take the heat.
Rick Gates, Paul Manafort’s former business associate took the witness stand Monday afternoon in the bank fraud and tax evasion case against Manafort.
After jurors were dismissed, Judge T.S. Ellis scolded one of Mueller’s prosecutors and a 10-minute courtroom spat ensued.
FOX News reported, at one point Judge Ellis felt disrespected after one of Mueller’s prosecutors [Greg Andres] looked down instead of looking directly at him and screamed, “Look at me!”
“You looked down as if to say ‘that’s B.S.!’” Ellis said. “I’m up here!”
The court transcripts from Monday’s showdown were just released and it’s pure comedy gold.
At one point, one of Mueller’s prosecutors, Greg Andres, was pushed to tears and Judge Ellis mocked him for his weakness.
An attorney who obtained the court transcripts posted to his Twitter account:
Did Judge Ellis make the Special Counsel lawyer cry???
Judge: “There’s tears in your eyes right now.”
Govt: “There are not tears in my eyes, Judge.”
Judge: “Well, they’re watery.”
