Top Mueller prosecutor: 'We could have done more' in Russia investigation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A top prosecutor in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of President Trump's campaign and Russia is planning a new book that examines what he calls a "hard truth" about the probe; namely, that it was not as successful as it could have been.

Andrew Weissman, the former head of the Justice Department's criminal fraud division, said he plans to release a memoir on Sept. 29 that details the Mueller team's efforts to investigate figures close to the Trump campaign and its battles with the White House, according to The Associated Press.

"I am deeply proud of the work we did and of the unprecedented number of people we indicted and convicted - and in record speed. But the hard truth is that we made mistakes. We could have done more. 'Where Law Ends' documents the choices we made, good and bad, for all to see and judge and learn from," Weissman told the news service.

"This is the story of our investigation into how our democracy was attacked by Russia and how those who condoned and ignored that assault undermined our ability to uncover the truth," he continued. "My obligation as a prosecutor was to follow the facts where they led, using all available tools and undeterred by the onslaught of the president's unique powers to undermine our work."

1. This is a book I'll read

2. I don't know if Mueller every had any intention of going as far as they could.

Then Barr short circuited it and Barr and the Pig are still trying to dismantle what work was done.

A little late but just in time for you to make a buck off a book...eh?

3. I thought that too

But profit aside I think it's important to have another voice against Trump and Blubber Boy Barr.

4. A little late. When Mueller absolved trump's kids of charges for the trump tower meeting, by

concocting the theory that they were too stupid to possess the requisite "intent" to break the law, you know it was a fix.

Maybe the lower level investigators didn't realize that is what would happen in the final report, but too late now unless Deputy Dawg appears before Congress and says, "I have one thing to say, trump and his campaign conspired with the Ruskies to throw the 2016 election, they are doing it now, and they obstructed justice over and over, and that's all I'm saying."

5. Glad to hear this because I'm sick of people making excuses for Mueller

He was hamstrung, he is old, he did enough. Bullshit to all. If he wasn't capable he shouldn't have taken the job. If he wasn't willing to stand up for right he shouldn't have taken the job.

6. How about a snappy subtitle?

"Anatomy Of A Clusterfuck" perhaps? Maybe "Whimpering Expectations"?

I'll take a pass on this book. It was my displeasure to live through it all.
