Courts as Boundaries

For John, BLUF:  A Federal Prosecutor without boundaries will soon flow his investigation to cover everything.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Judge Denies Mueller Request for Protective Order

From Courthouse News Service, by Mr Dan McCue, 28 March 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

A federal judge has denied Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s request for a protective order for materials gathered during discovery for the upcoming trial of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in Alexandria, Virginia.

In a two-page order entered Wednesday morning, U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III said Mueller’s request was “insufficiently specific in describing the information to be subject to the requested protective order, which is, in the circumstances, excessively broad.”

An interesting read and not too long.

The good news is that the courts are setting some limits on the ever spreading investigation of anyone involved in the Republican Presidential Campaign of 2016.♠
