As William Barr completes his first month as attorney general under the Trump administration, the White House is calling on him to take more action against members of the Department of Justice.

Disagreement over General Flynn case led to departure.

Wait ... we have an attorney general that actually does something? Huh, I thought that was a quaint concept from the distant past.

Was he kicked off for unethical behavior?

Haha, joke. That’s why he was hired in the first place. He’ll do anything to collect a scalp.

As FIB Director, Mueller was up to his eyeballs in corruption vis-à-vis Uranium One, Private Email Server, violation of Espionage Act, etc...

So they wanted to keep Flynn on the hook for purely political reasons, and Barr called BS.

That’s how it sounds to me.

PBS reports, “Andrew Weissmann, the architect of the case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, will study and teach at New York University and work on a variety of public service projects, including his longstanding interest in preventing wrongful convictions

Will he share a space with Brian Williams who is teaching a course in ethical journalism?

Weissmann wasted two years of scheming and false hope in an elaborate honey trap. Trump will be exonerated and free to turn against the traitors. This is beautiful.

What you just posted, is the most clear and concise summary of that meeting I’ve read so far. Even though it’s only a speculation. All other accounts of what happened between Barr and Mueller seem like efforts to interpret tea leaves or cumulus cloud formations.

‘Rats abandoning a sinking ship....

If Weissmann is getting out, it is because he sees the torpedo trails in the water.

And they seem to be aimed right the middle of the side of the ship.

Andrew Weissmann

Andrew Weissmann headed the Obama administration’s Department of Justice Criminal Fraud Section. Weissman was knowledgeable of Deputy Assistant Attorney General Bruce Ohr’s collusion with Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson and did not report the illegal activity to his superiors as departmental regulations require.[1] Weissman is now lead prosecutor in the Mueller investigation.[2] Weissmann is suspected in illegal leaks from the Mueller probe.[3]

Weissmann donated $2,300 to the Obama Victory Fund in 2008, $2,000 to the DNC in 2006 and at least $2,300 to the Clinton campaign in 2007. He was at Hillary Clinton headquarters on election night and is part of the anti-Trump Resistance.

Uranium One

Main article: Uranium One bribery scandal

Vadim Mikerin, director of Tenex, plea agreement shows that the Obama DOJ’s Fraud Section was then run by Andrew Weissmann.

The Justice Department instructs prosecutors that when Congress has given a federal offense its own conspiracy provision with a heightened punishment (as it has for money laundering, racketeering, narcotics trafficking, and other serious crimes), they may not charge a section 371 conspiracy. Section 371 is for less serious conspiracy cases. Using it for money laundering — which caps the sentence below Congress’s intent for that behavior — subverts federal law and signals to the court that the prosecutor does not regard the offense as major.

Yet, that is exactly what Rod Rosenstein’s office did, in a plea agreement his prosecutors co-signed with attorneys from the Justice Department’s Fraud Section. (See in The Hill’s report, the third document embedded at the bottom, titled “Mikerin Plea Deal.”) No RICO, no extortion, no fraud — and the plea agreement does not to mention any of the extortions in 2009 and 2010, before Committee on Foreign Investment in the US approved Rosatom’s acquisition of Uranium One. Mikerin just plead guilty to a nominal “money laundering” conspiracy charge, insulating him from a longer sentence. Thus, he got a term of only four years’ for a major national security crime.

Find out where he lives, where his wife works, where his children go to school ... and harrass the hell out of all of them.

That’s what Bill Barr was hired for—To sweep this massive conspiracy of high treason under the carpet.
