OP
Andrew Weissmann is my favorite, too. He's absolutely the best at explaining all these legal issues

I'm guessing he has a family, but there's little personal information because when he was a prosecutor

prosecution & defense work. He explains the pace for an historic trial, which goes a long way toward ameliorating frustration.

But I have wondered if he has time for anything else, he's the best so they want him on every show...

(43,313 posts)4. Yep.
He's got time to be a major legal explainer to the country. At this historic point, I don't think he'd really want anything else. Though I've noticed he's gotten more tan.

He often prosecuted mobsters...

Re what you say about his personal life, the bad guys are probably the top reason there's not much out there about his personal life. Same for Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco and every high level prosecutor from now on.
