1/ As the link above states, today Paul Manafort sued the Justice Department, Mueller, and Rosenstein, claiming that Mueller acted outside his authority by indicting him.

2/ This is an extremely unusual move. If an indictment can be challenged legally, typically the defendant files a motion to dismiss the indictment as part of the criminal case.

3/ It’s hard to see why Manafort chose to file this civil lawsuit instead of filing a motion in the criminal case. My initial reaction is that he wants to gain additional media exposure without putting this in front of the judge who would ultimately sentence him if convicted.

4/ This suit has almost no chance of success. Even if it succeeded, another federal prosecutor could indict Manafort for the same crimes, so it’s a pointless suit. He’s counting on the public (or conservative allies) to take this publicity stunt seriously. Don’t. /end

Think about it: his defense against the crime is that the prosecutor didn't have the authority to bring a charge.
