Breaking Developments At The DOJ-FBI
Behind The Headlines With Andrew Weissmann, Vol 2.2.a
Hello Subscribers,
I break down the latest developments from this weekend—news that will no doubt continue unfolding in the days ahead—on Trump’s efforts to purge the FBI of personnel who worked on the righteous January 6th investigations and prosecutions.
Below is a conversation I had with The Contrarian about the push to force the FBI to “name names,” the internal resistance to this order, and what it means for the nominations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to top positions at the DOJ and FBI.
If this all feels eerily reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era and Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre, that’s because it is.
–Andrew
PS Here is a piece Mary McCord did for Just Security: From Pardons to Purges: Pressing Questions that Bondi and Patel Must Answer Now
(Transcript is availble on The Contrarian video, press ‘T’ on your keyboard and it will be displayed on the side or press ‘Transcript’ just below the header.)
HI Andrew,
I want to ask this question again to you. Musk went into the Treasury and stole all my information and all taxpayer information. I asked you why Musk can’t be arrested for grand thief. Now the USID sensitive information has been stolen by Musk.
Why can’t you and your coworkers from the Justice Department be aggressive and sue or have Musk arrested.
Thank You….listening makes my life so much easier at present. reading is almost impossible.
Hi Andrew, first a happy note, beautiful, piano perfect w stacked books, an instant smile! good thoughts. theres nothing better. started playing pianp at 4 ….by accident. duke ellington played piano on tv early, early,sunday mornings before mass, while he played a little claymation devil would jump out of the piano and dance on his keys. well i wanted that cute little devil to jump out of my mothers piano….so i played ecaxtly what the duke was playing. sadly no devil, my being able to play, flipped my parents out. i hope you sing to your little pup!
aa a non lawyer, i do understand there are lawsuits to be filed…trumps lawlessness is purposeful, he is taking out all the stops first. im afraid we have not seen anything yet he has been granted immunity ? yes?
trump can destroy peoples lives, take away retirements, break down our institutions under official acts. no accountability for him. madness pure madness.
the supreme court gave him permission to do harm. can the supreme court stop him somehow? ive been waiting to hear something from them
respectfully rose
