Andrew Weissman

that Supreme Court nine to zero thought that.

When has that ever happened in this day and age?

And what was the reaction of the administration?

It was to tell the Trump lawyer at the Department of Justice that they were to go to court and say that Abrego Garcia is a terrorist, and that attorney is now a whistleblower and said that he refused to do that as there was no evidence to support that.

It's the idea that if you can tarnish justice,

the victim, if you can tell the public, oh, this is a bad person, that somehow it was all right to do something wrong.

And that, to me, is unbelievable for the Department of Justice of all agencies to have that view.

You know, criminal defendants generally have done something really bad, and it doesn't mean that they're not entitled to full due process under our law.

So I'd just like everyone to think about, is that making the country safer?

No.

That is supposed to be the number one goal, the selection of who should be the FBI director, who is in leadership positions.

You want the most experienced, the people with the best judgment.

You want adults in the room.

Getting rid of that brain trust and that experience is something that you are doing not with the safety of America as your number one priority.

I have told this story, but when I first got to the FBI and I saw...

the volume of true national security threats, it is sort of numbing as to how serious the potential crimes are and what could happen in this country.

And I was so thankful that Robert Mueller

And the senior team around me was looking at this and had the experience to know what to do, what to take most seriously.

And I don't think that you can say that Kash Patel is the person that you would have picked as the best person to be in that job performing that function.

Did you have any evidence that President Trump's statements about the cases against him intimidated witnesses or prevented them from coming forward?
