President Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has filed a lawsuit challenging the authority of special counsel Robert Mueller.

In a court filing, lawyers for Manafort argue that the order establishing Mueller's investigation is overly broad and not permitted under Justice Department regulations.

They said the special counsel's actions are "arbirtray, capricious and not in accordance with the law" and have asked a district court to set aside "all actions" that Mueller has taken against Manafort.


Unexpected, but yet not surprising.

Is this really something someone under indictment can sue for?


This is America. We can sue for whatever. Nothing will likely happen as a result, but it's clearly an attempt to try to discredit the investigation. Must be really scared.

Nope. From Reddit:

lawyer on msnbc says

you can't sue a prosecutor, they have immunity from this shit

you especially can't sue a prosecutor if you're a defendant in a pending case

this will be dismissed immediately

the lawyer that filed this is going to get fucking sanctioned for filing a stupid lawsuit

Even if Manafort could sue Mueller, I feel like no judge would have the authority to do what he's asking.

I wonder if Trump and Manafort have the same lawyer.
