Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s top prosecutor Andrew Weissmann will by leaving his role at the special counsel’s office and Justice Department soon, to the Special Counsel’s office.

Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr told SaraACarter.com that “Andrew Weissmann will be concluding his detail to the Special Counsel’s Office in the near future.” Carr did not elaborate on whether or not Mueller’s Special Counsel will be wrapping up.

Weissmann, described by The New York Times as Mueller’s “Pitbull” for his style and tactics of prosecuting cases. In 2015 Weissmann was selected to run the Department of Justice’s criminal fraud section and was later handpicked by Mueller to join the ongoing Special Counsel’s Office investigation into the alleged obstruction and alleged collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia.

Weissmann mainly oversaw the case against Paul Manafort, who has now been sentenced to seven and half years in prison for tax and bank fraud.

According to NPR Weissmann is leaving to teach at New York University and work on a variety of public service projects. Apparently, “this includes his longstanding interest in preventing wrongful convictions by shoring up forensic science standards used in courts,” the sources told NPR.

It’s just a transition of overcoming an attack setback that has sputtered and attacking at different vulnerable angles. The left never gives up as opposed to our side that does everything way too slow to counter.

“Yea, but you have to agree, the Browns suck.
Right?”

They have for 20 years... last year was almost mediocre, and next year, they’ll be competitive. Las Vegas has them with 3rd best odds to win the AFC.

But that’s not a hot button issue for me, I picked that name before they moved to Baltimore.

Sooner, I think Trump gave a heads up that he was about to declassify everything
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
November 28th

President Trump said Wednesday that if House Democrats launched probes into his administration — which he called “presidential harassment” — they’d pay a heavy price.

“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they’d never been hit like that,”

In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Post, President Trump said Wednesday that if House Democrats launched probes into his administration — which he called “presidential harassment” — they’d pay a heavy price.

“If they go down the presidential harassment track, if they want go and harass the president and the administration, I think that would be the best thing that would happen to me. I’m a counter-puncher and I will hit them so hard they’d never been hit like that,” he said during a 36-minute Oval Office sitdown.

The commander-in-chief said he would declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from Robert Mueller’s probe — and predicted the disclosure would expose the FBI, the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up.

“Please don’t hit me in the head with an eraser again!”

I was once goofing off of some sort during confirmation class, the pastor proceeded to bounce a piece of chalk off my forehead.

He was a good shot, bounced right off, with only a small dent.

Carr did not elaborate on whether or not Mueller’s Special Counsel will be wrapping up.

From what I read, it's been wrapping up for 6 months now, and 6 months from now it will still be wrapping up.
