Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        Keeping up with Ellis is proving to be a very interesting, sometimes bizarre subplot in the Manafort storyline.

        .@joshgerstein and @ZoeTillman who cover his court regularly are very insightful for what is normal and what is not. Trust them over what political journos report.

        They’ve been indispensable, unquestionably. The ones sort of crash-landing into his court can be entertaining, but entertainment has limited functional value in this context.

        Anxious to hear what Ellis is gonna say to Manafort's lawyers who allowed him to email out on that second laptop. Nice scheme.

        Please explain how any prisoner could be granted such extensive privileges. Who authorized that -- and why?

        Yeah, that there was some interesting prisoner examples the judge referenced! 😨 LOL 😆 I don't think the judge appreciated having his chain yanked!
