3. Weissman is pathetic on this

....downplayed the significance of Pence's subpoena.

Downplayed the indication that the Smith/Garland probe is circling around Trump.

It's obvious that Weissman, who just months ago was insisting there wasn't an investigation into the Trump WH at all by Garland, is now forced to backtrack and cover with this ridiculous take that subpoenaing Pence isn't on the road to closing in on Trump.

Nothing supports his absurd claims that DOJ could have had Pence's testimony a year ago, or that they needed to make that move before now.

It's nauseating listening to him second guess the DOJ, the main effect of his whinging to downplay the investigation and make it appear that nothing is happening, or that maybe he could handle the investigation better. What a inflated sense he has, of himself.

Weissman should be reminded that the previous Trump probe he was involved in had 10 mos. of investigation and then the appointment of Mueller, and that puts us at about April, the same time Manafort and Gates were indicted (prosecuted by Weissmann) for this SC to bring charges in the SAME time period.
