1. Here is what actually happened in #ManafortTrial
Today Mueller team called expert IRS witness to stand Judge Ellis wasn’t happy because he thought (incorrectly) he’d ruled to not admit experts because that is his typical procedure.

2. Asonye reminds him that in fact this witness was cleared to stay (true) and Judge Ellis says fair enough, it might be what transcript says but wants to remind Asonye (who appears frequently in his court) that it’s not typical he also says it’s not a big deal.
3. Transcripts show that this expert witness was in fact allowed to stay, hand it to Mueller’s team for cleverly calling him an IRS agent because case agents are allowed to remain. Also fail on Manafort team for not objecting unless they have a plan🤷🏼♀️
