Justice Department documents released on Friday confirm that the DOJ attorney known as Robert Mueller’s “pit bull” arranged a meeting with journalists in April 2017 to discuss an investigation into Paul Manafort.
The documents show that Andrew Weissmann arranged a meeting with DOJ and FBI officials and four Associated Press reporters on April 11, 2017, just over a month before Mueller was appointed special counsel.
Manafort’s lawyers obtained the documents on June 29 and revealed them in a briefing filed in federal court in Virginia. The attorneys are pushing for a hearing into what they say are possible leaks of secret grand jury information, false information and potentially classified materials from the meeting.
“The meeting raises serious concerns about whether a violation of grand jury secrecy occurred,” a lawyer for Manafort, Kevin Downing, wrote in a motion requesting a hearing. “Based on the FBI’s own notes of the meeting, it is beyond question that a hearing is warranted.”
Manafort’s attorneys have for months questioned whether Weissmann, the number two official on the Mueller team, leaked information about Manafort to The AP. At the time of the meeting, Weissmann served as chief of the Justice Department’s criminal fraud section.
He previously served as general counsel to Mueller when he was FBI director. Weissmann joined the special counsel’s investigation when it was formed on May 17, 2017. (RELATED: Meet The Very Shady Prosecutor Working On Robert Mueller’s Team)
The existence of meeting between AP reporters and DOJ officials was first reported in January. The government confirmed it for the first time in a pre-trial hearing held on June 29.

OK. Expose em all.
That means they knew of Muellers appoint a Month before he was appointed.
What does all this April information matter now, when Manafort is locked up in solitary, and not even permitted to prepare for his upcoming trial? Either every judge brought in on this case thus far is biased to the left, or Paul Manafort has some lousy lawyers. 90% of any legal decision goes against him and in favor of Mueller. Same with Cohen.
Setup.
Why was Mueller’s team investigating Manafort BEFORE Mueller was Appointed, or Comey Fired? ( the supposed reason for the investigation).
Mueller has the juice of the deep state on his side. Have to drain the swamp to eliminate the juice. I think it’s all W.I.P.
Bingo.
Still a wild ride.
Shows how truly widespread this is at the DOJ and FBI.
This does really mess up their story line.
“This does really mess up their story line”
Let me guess Rosenstein set this up? Fire his ass!
Logical conclusion.
Well, why shouldn’t members of the DNC Enforcement Branch meet and co-ordinate with their colleagues in the DNC PR Branch? /s
They'll stick together because they'll have to, this team of media, spies, leakers, and DOJ Torquemadas. And they'll have lots of help. Let's put some light on this thing and see who scurries.

Dirty Cops Andrew Weissmann and Robert Mueller hacked the code and broke into Paul Manafort’s storage locker. They then gave 2 AP Reporters the code to Manafort’s locker.
AP reporters broke in, reported on the contents in a news story, thus giving Mueller goods to get a warrant
(reverse logic?)
Criminal conspiracy. The First Amendment isn’t going to cover it. When our Attorney General gets hold of this, he’ll...he’ll... Yeah, sure he will.
Really Widespread>

Due to JW’s battles holding Special Counsel Mueller accountable, JW found info showing clear bias among DOJ officials like Andrew Weissmann (key prosecutor on Mueller’s team) praising Obama DOJ holdover Sally Yates for lawlessly thwarting President Trump.

I nominate Manafort as U.S. President after Donald Trump's 8 years are past. Political prisoners make for great leaders.
Manafort is now motivated by solitary confinement.
He has name recognition.
The enemy has named who they hate.
We need clever slogan-ed tee shirts.
Does anyone remember that Manafort worked for the Podesta Group?
