Very well explained. I love Weissman's conciseness about how courts, ancianita Jun 2023 #2

Andrew Weissmann is my favorite, too. He's absolutely the best at explaining all these legal issues Rhiannon12866 Jun 2023 #3

Yep. ancianita Jun 2023 #4

I'm guessing he has a family, but there's little personal information because when he was a prosecutor Rhiannon12866 Jun 2023 #5

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.

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.
