Mueller ‘pit bull’ Andrew Weissmann fumes over Trump pardons, suggests new avenue to nail political foes
December 24, 2020 | Vivek Saxena
Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s “pit bull,†attorney Andrew Weissmann, threw a veritable tantrum on social media Wednesday after President Donald Trump pardoned two of his victims, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort.
Both Stone and Manafort were ruthlessly prosecuted by Weissmann during the since-discredited Russian collusion delusion hoax and conspiracy theory.
“Mr. Manafort has endured years of unfair treatment and is one of the most prominent victims of what has been revealed to be perhaps the greatest witch hunt in American history. As Mr. Manafort’s trial judge observed, prior to the Special Counsel investigation, Mr. Manafort had led an ‘otherwise blameless life,'†the White House noted in its pardon.
The White House wrote similarly of Stone, whom it argued was “treated very unfairly†and “subjected to a pre-dawn raid of his home,†and all over a process crime discovered during an illegitimate investigation.
Weissmann, who now works at MSNBC alongside disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan, staunchly disagreed.
In tweets posted late Wednesday, he compared the otherwise non-controversial pardons to pardons given by “a mob boss.â€
He also called for targeting both Stone and Manafort again with what sounded like another round of politically motivated prosecutions.
