Andrew Weissmann / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born c. 1958 (age 60–61)
Princeton University (BA)
Columbia University (JD)

Andrew Weissmann (born c. 1958) is an American attorney. Since 2015 he has been the chief of the criminal fraud section of the U.S. Department of Justice. In June 2017 he was appointed to a management role on the 2017 special counsel team headed by Robert Mueller. To assume that position, Weissmann took a leave from his DOJ post.[1]

Weissmann has a bachelor’s degree from Princeton University. Following a Fulbright scholarship to the University of Geneva, he attended and graduated from Columbia Law School. He then clerked for Judge Eugene Nickerson in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.[2]

Career
From 1991 to 2002 Weissmann worked in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. While there he tried more than 25 cases involving members of the Genovese, Colombo and Gambino crime families.[1] He led the prosecution team in the Vincent Gigante case, in which Gigante was convicted.[3]

From 2002 to 2005, Weissmann was deputy director and then director of the task force investigating the Enron scandal.[1] His work resulted in the prosecution of more than 30 people for crimes including perjury, fraud, and obstruction including three of Enron’s top executives, Andrew Fastow, Kenneth Lay. and Jeffrey Skilling. In a follow-up case in U.S. District Court, Weissmann also was successful at arguing that auditing firm Arthur Andersen LLP had covered up for Enron. In that case, which resulted in the destruction of Andersen, he convinced the district judge to instruct the jury that they could convict the firm regardless of whether its employees knew they were violating the law.[3] That ruling was later unanimously overturned by the Supreme Court in Arthur Andersen LLP v. United States, in which the court held that “the jury instructions failed to convey the requisite consciousness of wrongdoing.”[3]

In 2005 Weissmann worked as special counsel under Mueller at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, then went into private practice at Jenner & Block in New York. In 2011 he returned to the FBI, serving as General Counsel under Mueller.[4] Since 2015 he has headed the criminal fraud section at DOJ. Weissmann has taught at NYU School of Law, Fordham Law School, and Brooklyn Law School.[2] On June 19, 2017 he joined Special Counsel Mueller’s team in investigating the Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[5][6].

The Federalist are the good guys.

Only thing is, they seem to be quiet. Not the boisterous lame MSM. If they had more sensational headlines, like the idiot headlines the NYT produces, they would get more attention.

Mueller’s investigation is not an investigation. It is an assault on the government by the people for the people. It is a tool of the Deep state socialist movement to shred the Constitution.

"Corruption on full display"

The in our faces corruption without consequence is astonishing. Congress doesn't care, the Senate doesn't care, the Courts don't care.

I don't believe President Trump realized how alone he would be in this fight.

The horror is in the fact that everyone... EVERYONE in DC knows exactly what's going on and considers it business as usual.

Meanwhile, they want us to believe that the FBI only has a few bad apples at the top.

Corruption on full display

****************

Convenient redactions are the ‘go to’ device to hide government corruption.

Its really amazing how much corruption, deceit, lying and cover ups the public will passively accept.

Of course, blame some sloppy law clerk. How about the judge saying “produce the documents or go to jail for contempt”.

Once more, they show that they are above the law. Until........

Mueller’s Mob isn’t out to get bad guys with their BS “investigation”. They’re out to get conservative Americans.
