I understand your disappointment......maybe a time out in a safe space with a compassion pet....
"Yesterday saw the judge in the case, T.S. Ellis, rebuke the prosecution for seeking to incite class envy and jealousy among jurors. But for its part, the prosecution let slip a shocking revelation: that it may not even call to the stand its star witness against Manafort, his former business partner Rick Gates.
The stunning disclosure came as prosecutor Uzo Asonye was questioning an FBI agent about a financial document apparently authored by Mr. Gates. Judge T.S. Ellis III interrupted the testimony to ask why the agent was discussing the memo and not its supposed author.
"He may testify in this case, your honor, he may not," Mr. Asonye said.
Journalists and others immediately scrambled out of the courtroom to the report the revelation, amusing Judge Ellis.
"That's news to me and about 25 others who scurried out of here like rats on a sinking ship," Judge Ellis shot back."
