Easy prediction, Judge Ellis will NOT dismiss the case against Manafort. Now when that ruling happens, if I were a childish moron, I would exult about how Trump was 'made a fool of'.

Instead I'll just speculate that Manafort will subsequently start singing like a canary.

Manafort's attorneys contend that their client's alleged crimes in Virginia have nothing to do with the election or with Trump.

Ellis agreed, emphasizing that some of the charges involve purported conduct that occurred over a decade ago.

But he made no immediate decision on the defense motion to dismiss the case. The judge said that even without such a connection, the special counsel may well still have the authority to bring the charges.

"I'm not saying it's illegitimate," Ellis said.
