The Weissmann Hit Piece
Andrew Weissmann is bitter. The long awaited Mueller Report turned out to be more of an indictment of the Mueller team and the man who most likely was in charge - Andrew Weissmann than it was for it's target! The Mueller investigation is now being investigated for how and why it began, for why it went on for so long after it was clear that there was no Trump - Russia connection and why it never looked at other important items such as the Steele Dossier. As both the DOJ, via the Durham investigation and a US Senate committee continue to examine it, Andrew Weissmann would like to get what is know around here as the final word.
He is about to publish a book, you see, entitled: Where Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigation . Weissmann told George Packer (the Atlantic) that he chose the title from the quote by the philosopher John Locke that’s inscribed on the façade of the Justice Department building in Washington, D.C.: “Wherever law ends, tyranny begins.” I guess Weissmann would be the best example of the beginning of tyranny - the tyranny of the deep state!
In this narrative we are told that Donald Trump is a "lawless President." Attorney General William Barr is portrayed as a "cynical liar." Congressional Republicans are smeared as criminal flunkies and of course, it was Fox News that got it wrong, not the news organizations which clearly lied to us for 3 years.
From The Hill:
"Weissmann also reportedly writes that the group failed to fully investigate Trump’s financial ties.
“We still do not know if there are other financial ties between the president and either the Russian government or Russian oligarchs,” Weissmann writes, according to the post. “We do not know whether he paid bribes to foreign officials to secure favorable treatment for his business interests, a potential violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act that would provide leverage against the president. We do not know if he had other Russian business deals in the works at the time he was running for president, how they might have aided or constrained his campaign, or even if they are continuing to influence his presidency.”

For two years they investigated everything Trump, inside and out, with a team full of Trump-haters and all that remains is Weissmann's lament that they still don't have those answers!
Like a petulant child Weissmann is angry that Robert Mueller (the figure head) would not explicitly state that he believed the president obstructed justice.
Obviously, there was a desired outcome and the missing ingredient was a single shred of evidence.
In his introduction Weissmann writes: “Had we given it our all—had we used all available tools to uncover the truth, undeterred by the onslaught of the president’s unique powers to undermine our efforts?” “I know the hard answer to that simple question: We could have done more.”
Any more and they might have gone to jail!

There are many who stopped just short of breaking the law
The FBI's reputation has a big stain on it.
"An FBI official who served on Robert Mueller’s team said he believed the special counsel’s prosecution of former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn was part of an attitude to “get Trump,” and that he did not wish to pursue a Trump-Russia collusion investigation as it was “not there" and considered it to be a "dead end."
FBI agent William J. Barnett made the comments during an interview on Sept. 17 at the Justice Department, before Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Jeffrey Jensen, who was tapped by Attorney General Bill Barr to review the case against Flynn. Jensen has joined U.S. Attorney John Durham’s team in his review of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. Those comments have surfaced in new government documents.
What’s amusing is Barr, the supposed villain, came to understand mueller was a mess and tried or protect him from testifying, even though he knew mueller would help Trump, which he did.
it was the Democrats, who had access to mueller and knew his deteriorating condition who demanded he testify in some sort of Hail Mary to save their debunked collusion investigation. They sacrificed muellers reputation and only helped trump.
well if anything , we still have that usual "October surprise" to look forward too, not that the last week has not been tumultuous enough .
Anyone else going to yell JUMANJI on new years eve at midnight?
