Andrew Weissmann, an MSNBC contributor and top deputy to former special counsel Robert Mueller, is calling on former Vice President Joe Biden to prosecute President Donald Trump, assuming he will be inaugurated in January.
Weissmann, in an op-ed for the New York Times that the next Department of Justice “should investigate Mr. Trump and, if warranted, prosecute him for potential federal crimes.”
“Mr. Trump’s criminal exposure is clear,” he said, adding that there is “ample evidence to support a charge that Mr. Trump obstructed justice,” in the Mueller probe, which cleared the president of any criminal wrongdoing between himself and the Russian government during his White House transition.
Weissmann then floated the possibility that President Trump could “pardon not just his family and friends before leaving office but also himself in order to avoid federal criminal liability.”
“In short, being president should mean you are more accountable, not less, to the rule of law,” he concluded.
Weissmann’s op-ed comes after the former Mueller prosecutor compared President Trump to Nazi Germany Dictator Adolf Hitler.
“For those people who say we should appease Trump, how did that approach go for Neville Chamberlain,” he wrote on Twitter.
In September, Weissmann seemingly threw Mueller under the bus by lamenting that they “could have done more” in their investigation into President Trump.

President Trump knows too much. They have to get him out of the way. They are incredibly scared of him ...and his army of deplorables.
The only ones guilty of obstruction of justice is the deep state and slow walking AG Barr.
Weisman, for a Jew to compare Trump to Hitler is beyond despicable.
If Trump were “like Hitler” you’d be looking at years of physical rehab from having your skull caved in.
I got sick in 2007.
I was the only conservative in a department of 50 people.
We argued like hell and then would go out for drinks and have a great time.
When I got sick, they were Beyond Generous with subscriptions and Money and Food and Gift Cards..
But 2007 might as well have been a million years ago.
They were all in their 30s and 40s back in 2007.
I think those under 40 or maybe 30 now are the most virulent, violent, destructive and hateful group I have ever seen.
And there’s NO WAY they would do for a Trump voter what those people did for me 13 years ago.
little andy has a lead deficiency...
Do us all a favor, Weissmann, and choke on a turkey bone tomorrow, you worthless piece of *hit.
Recall, that under the Mueller/Weissman legal theories: Telling people that you are innocent, while under investigation, is Obstruction of Justice.
Barr, ineffectual?
You are being too kind.
It’s clear trump should have this guy spirited away to gitmo.
Pardons won’t matter much unless they flee the country before January 20, 2021.
I am still trying to wrap my head around the FACT so many in our nation are so blinded with a level of hate like this. I cannot understand they do not see the timber in their own eye, but then one can’t...until someone plucks it out.
I have often wondered what it was like leading up to the communist revolutions/Mao/Stalin/Hitler.... People knew it was coming, it was happening, and felt like they are living in an alternative universe about to be snuffed out.
The evil is right here, right now.
they are cowards when you stand up to them...i’ve had multiple face-to-face encounters with libs/leftists and when i treat them in person the way they treat everyone else, they shrivel..
I was the only conservative in a department of 50 people.

I know what that kind of work environment can be like. Today’s Left is nowhere near as “tolerant” as the lefties back then when there was still some semblance of civility. But even then conservatives still mostly kept their views to themselves.
During the Obama years office political tensions and resentment definitely rose but after Trump was elected it got downright hostile.
What is taking so long to indict Weissman?? He should have been locked up long ago as part of the conspiracy to over throw the government.
Agreed.
I wasn’t shy about my views because I had good job security.
I made some of them have to walk out of the room a few times :)
In retrospect, they were right on a few issues...the endless wars...both parties are corrupt...but that was about it.
And in dark hallways and corridors, some of them would tell me in secret that they agreed with me. :)
I can’t say anything bad about most of them..except the militant gays.
In fact, when I told some if the conversations bothered them, we should stop them.
They said they would be insulted if I thought just my politics could make them dislike me
WOW have times changed!!!
That was the whole idea. Destroy him and make him an example to others. You don't defy the state.
The American people should go after the GOP and Romney republicans. Tear them apart and destroy them, savagely. Clean our house first, then go after the democrats.
Agreed.
i HATE that guy.
and Rs have taken our vote for granted for too long
Take this sick dog out and euthanize him. He is beyond help.
“Weissmann’s op-ed comes after the former Mueller prosecutor compared President Trump to Nazi Germany Dictator Adolf Hitler.”
What this POS Weissmann does not understand is if Trump was really like Hitler he’d already be dead!
Weissman?
Appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Biden, Harris and the 2020 election fraud
Fire John Durham (now) and put in Jenna Ellis or Tom Fitton to conduct the probe.
