[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3096264, member: 5412"] Mueller's pitbull assistant on the case is a total work of horse crap. Andrew Wissemann has a track record of improper prosecutions by withholding evidence and failing to present witnesses that could have affected the outcome of the trial. [URL]https://saraacarter.com/muellers-pit-bull-andrew-weissmann-busted-withholding-evidence-previous-case/[/URL] Mueller tapped a different sort of prosecutor to lead his investigation — his long-time friend and former counsel, Andrew Weissmann.
