Robert Mueller Just Hired Trumps Worst Nightmare [View all]

Ruh roh...

Benedict Donald should be getting to the panic stage by now...

"Weissman, known for his time as head of the U.S. Justice Department’s criminal fraud section, has made a career out of getting witnesses to flip on one another. Weissman was instrumental in the investigation of Enron, which concluded with numerous executives being sent to prison for extended periods of time. He has also made a name for himself in Brooklyn, New York, where he successfully investigated multiple organized crimes. All of these cases relied heavily on Weissman’s witness-flipping experience and abilities."
