In this book, Andrew Weissmann provides a detailed insider's view of the Mueller investigation. He reveals the heated debates, painful deliberations, and mistakes made by the team, as well as the external efforts by President Trump and Attorney General William Barr to manipulate the investigation. Weissmann discusses critical decisions such as whether to subpoena the president, conduct a full financial investigation of Trump, and recommend obstruction charges. He also details the debilitating effects of President Trump's actions on the investigation, including threats to shut it down and promises of pardons[1][4][5].
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.* There is a cluster-you-know-what of constitutional and legal news this week, so Amicus Plus is popping up a little early with a bonus episode to tackle the Trump prosecutions portion of the melee ahead of Friday’s very important TikTok-ban arguments. Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Andrew Weissman, co-host of the MSNBC podcast "Prosecuting Donald Trump” (recently re-launched as “Main Justice” for…. obvious reasons!) Andrew is also author of two New York Times bestsellers, The Trump Indictments and Where Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigation.
*We are not eating elephants. Please do not eat elephants.
