Week In Review (2/13-2/19)

Behind The Headlines With Andrew Weissmann, Vol 2.5

Dear Subscribers,

Welcome to this week’s Week In Review.

In addition to the compendium of what we have shared already on Substack this week, there are a couple new things I wanted to highlight for you. The latest episode of Main Justice with Mary McCord is now out—it’s entitled A Choke Chain (yes, a reference to what Trump’s DOJ is doing to Mayor Eric Adams) — and a piece from The New York Times on the judge overseeing the case (in which I gave some comments.) You’ll find the links to both below.

As always, this week’s posts are rounded up for you here. Thanks for being part of this community.

–Andrew
