Strzok and Andrew Weissmann used the Clinton, DNC Kremlin disinformation Steele dossier to illegally obtain FISA warrants against Carter Page.
While I love the article, the above is either a glaring error or a new revelation, as this is the first time I have heard that Andrew Weissmann had any involvement in obtaining FISA warrants against Carter Page.

Did I somehow miss something?

Need a dig on the name Andrew Weissman mentioned in the above post.

:-D Fortunately an overall dig on Weissman is easy to find. Swordmaker provided us with a good one in the LexiQon!

I was not aware either that Weissman had been involved in obtaining the FISA warrants for Carter Page. If he was in a position to be able to have input on FISA documents, then I would certainly believe it. He was the chief of the DOJ’s criminal fraud division, so perhaps could have weighed in or participated. According to the LexiQon, he does seem to have been interacting with Steele, so it does seem plausible that he could have been somehow involved in setting up Carter Page.

Here is what the LexiQon has on Weissman:

Weissmann, Andrew: (#2022, #2092) Andrew Weissman is the lead prosecutor for the Robert Meuller’s Office of Special Counsel. Prior to accepting that position, Weissmann had been the chief of the DOJ’s criminal fraud division. He has had previous special counsel team experience when he was brought onto the special prosecutor’s team in the Enron where he was lead prosecutor on the Arthur Anderson Accounting Firm case where he created crimes that did not exist to convict the entire company of 80,000 employees in conspiring with the management of Enron in Financial Fraud instead of indicting just a few involved people. Although the case was completely reversed by the US Supreme Court, it was too late to save Arthur Anderson, as it went bankrupt and all 80,000 jobs were destroyed, based on Andrew Weissmann’s lie that the company had acted fraudulently, when in fact they had been victims of Enron’s hiding the real books from them.

He also was the lead prosecutor who, again, created a crime that was not a crime convicting five mid-level managers of Merrill Lynch, a New York Investment Bank, who had bought some power generating barges from Enron and then sold them for a profit six months later to a third party that was, unknown to Merrill Lynch, owned by Enron’s treasurer. The government, personified by Weissmann, maintained this was an illegal “parking” transaction to “avoid taxation.” The various prosecutions cost the government over $15 million. The total sale price for the barges was under $6 million and the profit made by Merrill Lynch was about $657,000, on which taxes of about $160,000 WERE PAID! This in the Enron Case that involved revenues of $100 Billion, and Weissmann was fixated on a single transaction that involved 0.00006% of that revenue.

Yet, somehow, out of this perfectly legal transaction, Weissmann, constructed something that he claimed was illegal. . . yet he could not name a Federal statute. Among the charges for each of the defendants were “Lying to the FBI.” All but one conviction was reversed by the Fifth Circuit Court. The only one that was not reversed was a conviction of “lying to the Grand Jury” for a mid-level manager at Merrill Lynch who was told by Weissmann to express his opinion of what he understood a phone call that he was not even a participant on was about. . . one in which it turned out the prosecutors BURIED the evidence that his opinion was correct, deliberately not sharing exculpatory evidence with the defense, despite orders from the court to do so, and laws that require it, but of which Weissmann claimed his opinion was somehow a “lie.” He had agreed to plead guilty to that charge to avoid a 37 year prison sentence on the other charges based on NON-EXISTENT crimes.

We have now learned that before being appointed as Mueller’s lead prosecutor, Weissmann was “kept in the loop” by Bruce Ohr about his unethical contacts with Christopher Steele and the FBI, after Steele had been fired by the FBI. Weissmann called a meeting of several AP reporters and leaked to them about Paul Manafort and his Ukrainian business dealings. Shortly after that the AP published an exposé of Manafort, putting the FBI’s investigations of the Russia involvement in the 2016 elections at risk, yet Weissmann was still pulled into Mueller’s team. (See AP, Bruce Ohr, Christopher Steele, DOJ, Steele/Trump Dossier, FBI, Special Counsel Robert Mueller).

Sidney Powell wrote a book about Weissman’s brutal unethical history in her book “Licensed to Lie.”

She also has some clips on youtube, notably the one with Mark Levin.
