that the gates case is gone going and that includes several ongoing investigations. that could be the inauguration. he was the deputy campaign chairman. it could be related to the campaignering with don t know if it is new york state, it is not good news for the president that this case is ongoing. we do know one of mueller s top prosecutors is leaving the team. steve bannon once referred to him as the lebron jail of money laundering investigations. what does this signal to you about the focus of mueller s investigation? so weissman was the lead prosecutor on the manafort case. he also appeared in the gates case. it makes some sense that weissman would leave now manafort is done federally. and that he would pass this over to greg andres, his deputy, to
mark meadows and jim jordan sent to the attorney general william barr and basically, they are asking for a number of things from the ag and they mention in particular andrew weisman these are two individuals that worked at the department of justice and now, work at the special counsel s office. can you tell me about andrew wei ssman and ahmad? so weissman is the number two it s mueller s deputy he was involved in the custody of the dossier so in early 2016, he was given the dossier. this is somebody, him and the other individual that s mentioned there both doj people, both on the mueller team. they shouldn t be involved in this investigation. i don t know, well, and the questions that my colleagues are asking is, you know, there s clear regulations that doj has that you know you can t be conflicted and so they re asking questions. look did they disclose to mueller before mueller picked them that they were involved in the chain of custody of this
dossier because i will tell you i don t know that they re going to have any criminal indictments or not, but if i was any attorney, i d be saying look, these people that are bringing this forward they shouldn t be involved in this because they are biased we already know the people kicked off but you also have the fact that these two individuals that jim jordan and mark meadows are asking about were involved in the chain of custody of important evidence the dossier, the dirt from the clinton campaign, that is the basis for this entire hoax. maria: this is important, because for a long time, i ve been asking the question, can the robert mueller special counsel report have credibility if it doesn t look at what we know to have been wrongdoing, by the people at the top of the fbi so jim jordan and mark meadows writes to bill barr and they say number one, we d like you to identify all actions taken by weissman and ahmad including disclosures to a prize the special counsel s office of their
ohr testified to about supplying the fbi with information relating to the trump campaign. so, they also want to explain all the actions taken by weisman and ahmad after learning steele, simpson and ohr were producing information for relating it to the fbi provide all documents and communications referring or relating to disclosures made by weisman and ahmad and documents or communications and the department used to evaluate prosecutors and investigators independence so they re right now still working on the special counsel s investigation, robert mueller. they re not independent investigators. these are people that were in on this from the beginning they knew about the dossier, they brought this dossier forward, i don t know maybe they told mueller and mueller decided to wave these requirements that are there. also, let s not forget, we also have evidence that at one-time, weissman was meeting with reporters and so you have this, and this is part of this whole disinformation campaign
composing the dossier that he was peddling. now, that is not only filing a false government report, which is a crime, but it s also the bribery and gratuity statute. this is why he s now squealing on people like andrew weissman. and having weissman heading up this that s like a detective who frames a suspect and appointed himself. it was weissman who was involved in framing donald trump. i take the number four person at the department of justice and his wife who happens to work for this little organization. well, then they can have some communication. and quickly, jason, the dossier was used by mueller. it was signed during mueller s reign. mueller s responsible for the use of the dossier just as much
