Q:
What does "The sidebars are only part of Ellis' idiosyncrasies. " mean?
P.S.
I looked up the meanings of those words:
sidebar: a conference between the judge, the lawyers,
idiosyncrasies: an individualizing characteristic or quality
Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Early in Manafort's proceedings, Ellis criticized the special counsel's office lawyers for thinking they could try Manafort's case without ever having practiced law in his district. (The top trial lawyers prosecuting Manafort have the most experience in Brooklyn's federal court.) At the next hearing, the special counsel's team had brought aboard Uzo Asonye, an assistant US attorney experienced with Ellis in the Alexandria federal court.
"Mr. Asonye has some experience here. Is that right, Mr. Asonye?" Ellis said at a start of a May hearing for Manafort's case. "So he can tell you some interesting things."
The sidebars are only part of Ellis' idiosyncrasies. He also loves the intellectual exercise of arguing legal nuance.
"Most every prosecutor would tell a story about being forced to brief issues ad nauseum including during trial," said Scott Fredericksen, a former section chief in the Eastern District of Virginia who now handles criminal white-collar cases at the law firm Foley & Lardner.

Hi Monica,
Basically this means part of his character is known for creating diversions or drawing attention from the main focus.
For example, if that was part of my idiosyncrasy or character and you were late to school I might say.
Monica you have lived her for longer than a year. Is this correct?
--Yes.
And you came to school every day last year knowing that it starts at 7am right?
--Yes
So here I am going on sidebars with you. Basically eliminating any plausible excuses you might have for being late.
This Ellis is known for doing this. "Mr. Asonye you have experience here. You know some interesting information...."
