Boy you sure love the right wing judges who lack all empathy and good sense.
Ellis is nothing but another right wing judge the Republicans keep appointing who care little about humanity or the rule of law!
<<plaintiffs to refile their claims,” The Associated Press reported at the time.
Although Ellis allowed the Iraqis to refile their cases, he made it tougher for them to prevail. “Ellis is allowing most of the plaintiffs to refile, but only if they will be able to prove that employees engaged in intentional killings and beatings,” a higher standard than recklessness or “a culture of lawlessness,” AP reported. That decision came down in 2009.
In 2006, BBC reported, Ellis “dismissed a lawsuit brought by a German citizen who says he was kidnapped and beaten by the CIA.”
“In times of war, our country, chiefly through the executive branch, must often take exceptional steps to thwart the enemy,” the judge stated in his decision.
That same year, according to The New Orleans Times-Picayune, Ellis allowed former Democratic Congressman William Jefferson to “remain free pending his appeal of his guilty verdict on 11 corruption counts.” He meted out a sentence of 13 years in prison, though.
5. Ellis Sentenced the ‘American Taliban’ Defendant to Prison & Demanded to See a Document Outlining the Mueller Team’s Scope

Paul Manafort.
In the case of Paul Manafort, who faces bank and tax fraud allegations not involving Trump’s presidential campaign, the judge demanded to see the memorandum documenting Mueller’s scope. Ellis has the power to rule whether the Manafort case will proceed.
“We don’t want anyone in this country with unfettered power. It’s unlikely you’re going to persuade me the special prosecutor has power to do anything he or she wants,” Ellis said in court on the Manafort case. “The American people feel pretty strongly that no one has unfettered power.” Manafort also faces charges in a Washington D.C. court.
According to Fox News, Ellis was the sentencing judge in the case against the so-called “American Taliban,” John Walker Lindh. He sentenced Lindh, then 21, to 20 years in prison “after he pleaded guilty to charges related to his activity with the Taliban in Afghanistan,” Fox reports.

 Anonymous May 4th, 2018 Before Trumpkins celebrate, remember that this judge is actually mistaken and very well might change his decision or even have any push against this case appealed by a higher court.
This case is the bank fraud case against Paul Manafort. Ellis maintains this isn’t within the scope of the probe. But Rosenstein created a memo in August of 2018 specifying the scope of the Russia Probe and “…Rosenstein also specifically authorized Mueller to investigate any crimes related to payments Manafort received from the Ukrainian government during the tenure of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.”
Look it up.
Anonymous May 4th, 2018 Thank God for this judge. They all need to go. Obama started this entire thing that has corrupted the FBI and justice department. I want to see them all rot in prispn. They f..d up The entire criminal justice system all cause their precious Hillary lost and Obama is an America hating Muslim.
