1. Does that mean he's not flipping?

[Sanity Claws]

2. Maybe it means more pressure that might cause him to flip

[Yonnie3]

3. I think it just means that charges he wanted dismissed will not be dismissed.

If anything it would make him think harder about flipping.

Edit to add: We are assuming that they want him to flip. Perhaps they don't need him to flip.

7. LOSER45 luuuuved Judge Ellis in early May...he's VERY SPECIAL, see??!?

Speaking to a crowd at the National Rifle Association Leadership Forum in Dallas on Friday, the president read news clippings of the comments made earlier that day by U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III, who was appointed by former President Reagan.

Trump blasted the entire special counsel investigation as a "witch hunt," praised Ellis by saying he is "really something very special," and highlighted the judge's comment that Manafort's tax and bank fraud charges were "unrelated" to his work on the Trump campaign.

9. In fact 45 liked Paul, but he only worked for the campaign for 45 seconds,

16. Judge rejects Manafort's challenge to Mueller's legitimacy

Yeah https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/26/judge-rejects-challenge-676814

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's challenge to the authority of special counsel Robert Mueller.

The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III dashes the hopes of many allies of President Donald Trump's that Ellis would deliver a crippling blow to Mueller's office and undermine the legal legitimacy of his appointment....

Ellis's 31-page written opinion is rife with skepticism about the special counsel mechanism and about Mueller's pursuit of fraud charges against Manafort. But the judge ultimately concluded that Manafort's attorneys had not made a sufficient legal case to justify tossing out his indictment.

"The Special Counsel’s appointment was consistent with both constitutional requirements regarding appointment of officers and statutory requirements governing the authority to conduct criminal litigation on behalf of the United States, the Special Counsel had legal authority to investigate and to prosecute this matter and dismissal of the Superseding Indictment is not warranted," the Reagan appointee wrote
