district of virginia or it can be prosecuted by the special counsel depending on how the jurisdictional statement is written. and i am pretty sure that mr. mueller would not have brought those charges if they weren't within what he had been assigned by mr. rosenstein. but it won't help mr. manafort if for some reason the judge decides that mueller cannot charge him with these crimes. then the eastern district can. crimes have been committed, the grand jury found enough evidence to say he should stand trial and he should stand trial. >> and jill, are judges allowed to consider the likelihood that charges will lead to potential impeachment in a case like this? >> absolutely not. there is a charge of a criminal act in the state of virginia that vi lays federal law. and that's all he should be looking at. it is outrageous he is questioning the motive of prosecutors.
