Two prosecutors leave Mueller's team, including an expert in cybercrimes
CNBC ^ | August 31, 2018 | Tucker Higgins

Two prosecutors, including an expert in computer crimes, have departed special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating links between Russia and associates of President Donald Trump, a spokesman for the special counsel confirmed to CNBC Friday.

Ryan Dickey and Brian Richardson appear to have left the team this summer, according to a report by CNN, which first broke the news of the departures. Mueller's team now has 15 attorneys.

The exits did not have to do with any allegations of wrongdoing or political bias, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr said.

Dickey will continue to work for the Justice Department, and Richardson has taken a position as a research fellow at Columbia Law School.

It was notable when Dickey joined Mueller's team in November 2017 because he was the first prosecutor on the team known to specialize in cybercrimes. After joining the team, Dickey worked on the two computer crime cases Mueller has brought so far in his probe of Russian election interference.

Don’t believe the BS. They got booted or are afraid of the upcoming confrontation with the PDS.

The one that should be fired for political bias is the crooked lawyer, Weinberg, who was working with Bruce Ohr and his lovely wife in framing DonaldTrump with the Fake Dossier. It is disgusting that that cadaver, Mueller, put him on the staff with over a dozen Hillary supporters to investigate the President.

Fake news as usual. These two more than likely are leaving to take cover. Rats scattering.

Does anyone else think that Mueller has so many leftist lawyers on his staff that have been involved with the corruption in the past, so that when being questioned in the future, they can claim some form of attorney-client privilege?

Until then they don’t have to answer any questions,”due to an ongoing investigation.”

On top of that, they have been or will be given immunity be Mueller, who probably is handing that out like candy these days to the leftists.

The Andrew Weissmann - Bruce Ohr connection with the "regular updates" on Steele's briefings from Ohr after Steele was fired (revealed in the past 24-48 hours) sounds very fishy. Turns out Bruce Ohr worked with Weissmann back on the Enron debacle and they have been buddies ever since. This leads me to believe that Bruce Ohr is a very long way from the choir boy image he was reportedly trying to project in his closed hearing.

Weissmann narrowly avoided disbarment after the jury instructions he wrote for the judge and subsequently overturned prosecution, overturned 9-0 by the SC ,,,(any idea how hard it is to get a 9-0 decision from that bunch?)

Any friend of Andrew Weissmann is suspect in my book.

The whole Mulehead witch hunt stinks to high heaven. It's no wonder the rats are jumping ship.

I certainly hope and pray that there is massive jail time in the future for these guys and gals!

Trump will figure out how to get them in prison!

I am banking on that outcome!

The exits did not have to do with any allegations of wrongdoing or political bias Since that was a prerequisite that is agiven they did not leave because of their bias.
