Andrew Weissmann

why do you want to do this and if the judge were to hold a hearing and conclude that there was an improper quid pro quo here the judge would be again it's limited authority but he'd be within his rights to say the court is not going to be a part of this and then the case is not dismissed so it's not a unilateral authority for the prosecutors to say we're not going forward.

She isn't. You know, it's so funny. She will be, though, because she is going to be vilified the way Bill Barr is now viewed. Like, Bill Barr and Andrew Weissman are now, it's like they're one in the same. It's like, why? Because we did something that Donald Trump doesn't like.

It is. You know, this is where, I mean, I hate to sound Pollyannish or naive or be on a soapbox, but What you are seeing at the Southern District of New York, at main justice in the public integrity section, and just let's not remember that this is all on the heels of everything we're seeing at the FBI, which is also not a hotbed of the deep state.

It is a conservative organization where the acting head of the FBI, Special Agent Driscoll, was also selected by Trump to lead that agency while they await the confirmation of Kash Patel. All of them have been pushing back. And that's where what I would tell you, and again, I don't mean to sound Pollyannish, but people act out of principle.

All of these people, when I was in the department, their policies you agree with and you disagree with. There are Democrats and Republicans in the White House that come in all the time. And you're used to policy directives that you have to implement. And if you can't stomach it at all, you can leave.

But it is so rare that you ever see a situation where prosecutors and agents are resisting because something they believe is illegal. The last time we saw this was Trump 1.0, when prosecutors resigned in the Roger Stone case. I was so taken aback. It does not happen. And the only other time I can think of of note is the Saturday Night Massacre.

Absolutely. I mean, what you are seeing within the Department of Justice, including the FBI, is a sort of I am Spartacus moment where people are really standing up. And that is why Emil Bove has gone through six, count them, six people who all say, I am not carrying out what has been described as a quid pro quo.

A friend of mine who is a white-collar defense lawyer said when Pam Bondi issued her first day memos that this is the golden era for white-collar criminals. She basically was like, you know what, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, gone. The Foreign Agents Registration Act, gone. I mean, her policies are really favorable for sort of rich white criminals and large corporations.
