Last Tuesday, Robert Mueller sought to give immunity to five potential witnesses in the Paul Manafort trial according to a court filing.

Mueller filed the requests under seal; Manafort is facing charges of bank and tax fraud and his trial begins Wednesday in the Eastern District of Virginia.

In a ruling Monday, Judge T.S. Ellis, a Reagan appointee ordered Mueller to publicly name the five witnesses who got immunity–a huge blow to the Special Counsel.

The identities of the five witnesses were revealed Monday and Judge Ellis delayed Manafort’s trial until July 31st.

    I'd think that thee would be some kind of time limit on going after something 15 years old.
