"SNIP........

“I was described by Steve Bannon (and, sigh, many others) as a pit bull. Jack Smith makes me look like a golden retriever puppy. So tenacious and fearless. And apolitical and ethical.”

— Andrew Weissmann, former lead prosecutor on the Mueller probe, on Twitter.

I’m pretty frustrated. We have umpteen investigations going on, on what’s CLEARLY the crookedest “President” and White House regime ever, as we speak - and has ANYTHING led to actual indictments? Is ANYBODY facing indictment or other actual consequences for any of this shit? Have there been ANY results yet? And if not, why not? The criminality has just looked so damn obvious for so damn long, I can’t believe nothing’s happened.

Surely we’re not, in effect, saying trump & co. haven’t done anything wrong? For Pete’s Sake! He & his are gonna get away with it - ALL of it?

Maybe I’m just reading the tea leaves wrong, and I’m no legal expert. But shit - it sure looks that way.

On his background as a legal "pitbull" from Beau... YMMV...
"This is not the background of somebody who is looking to score chips in the big game and get favors later"
I have high hopes but then Again I had high hopes about Mueller...

We need someone who puts country before fear of retribution. Let’s hope this is the guy.

coming from Marc Elias. But I hope it portends prosecutions for all the trumps and all their co criminals. and jail, and prison, and poverty, and lessons on the experience of shame.
