Mueller deputy praised DOJ official after she defied Trump travel ban order: 'I am so proud'
FOX News ^ | December 5, 2017 | By Catherine Herridge

A top prosecutor who is now a deputy for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe praised then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates after she was fired in January by President Trump for refusing to defend his controversial travel ban.

The email, obtained by Judicial Watch through a federal lawsuit, shows that on the night of Jan. 30, Andrew Weissmann wrote to Yates under the subject line, “I am so proud.”

He continued, “And in awe. Thank you so much. All my deepest respects.”

The disclosure follows confirmation that another Mueller investigator, FBI official Peter Strzok, was fired over the summer after allegedly sending anti-Trump texts to an FBI lawyer with whom he was romantically involved.

His alleged actions revived concerns about the objectivity of the FBI probes of both Hillary Clinton’s email setup and Russia election meddling.

Further proof that Mueller’s team is not impartial at all.

for refusing to defend his controversial travel ban

You mean the one that the SCOTUS just upheld 7-2?

That one, Andrew?

This is the SOB whose "convictions" for non-crimes that he dreams up by twisting existing law to mean what they don't have been reversed massively by the same Supreme Court.

But he's not biased or nothing. Nope, nosirree, he's Mr. Clean, just trying to keep government honest.

And we are letting this deranged ideologue try to abuse the justice system to overturn the election?

These arrogant Progressive bureaucrats, "possessed" by a tyrannical ideology which competes with the Constitution of, by, and for "the People," display that arrogance by defying "the People's" decision of November 8, 2016.

These bureaucrats, and all who now form "the resistance," are not merely opposing Donald J. Trump, they are attempting to delegitimize and defy the will of "the People" who voted for him.

My sentiments exactly.

The time for simply bitching about all this has passed, IMO.

Weismann has a rich history of unethical behavior. He basically ruined Arthur Anderson during the Enron investigation (and 70,000 jobs in the process). The Supreme Court ruled against Weismann 9-0, purportedly “with pleasure” - according to Justice Scalia. They knew how dirty Weismann was.

That “CRM” reference on Weissmann’s email appears to indicate that he was using a government computer to send this email implicitly criticizing his boss (Pres. Trump) for firing a government official for refusing to do her job.

Looks like Muellers team is not so hot after all. Bunch of dummies if they think their communications aren’t going to be found out. They should all be sacked from investigating anything ever again.

This is just the tip of the iceberg on Weissman.

He’s as dirty as they come in the Swamp. Just wait...many more of his communications to float up out of foggy bottom.

Might Sally Yates be the skirt Strzok was having an extra-marital affair with, and trading anti POTUS emails? Might shed some light on her defying POTUS’ Travel Ban, which led to her losing her gig as ODAG.

Most curious. Clearly Mueller has no problem with anti-Trump bias on the part of his investigators.

But Strzok is alleged to have been removed as chief investigator of the Mueller probe because of anti-Trump texts.

But Weissmann still has a job. So that can't be it, can it?

So, that begs the question: What's the real reason that Strzok was removed from the Mueller team and demoted back at the bureau?
