Andrew Weissman is a very dangerous individual to have around if you're a crook.

I am reading, oops, listening to his book Liar's Kingdom, where he goes over the facts of the egregious acts--like what they did to Kilmar Albrego Garcia (sp?). It's even worse than you might think, even though we saw the kinds of things they were doing in the news every day. It's when Andrew pulls all the facts together in retrospect that it's especially damning.

Another aspect of his book that I enjoy is how he details the judges who have stood up to trump, regardless of who appointed them.

This situation is yet another example of calling publicly calling them out.

I consider him to be one of the most experienced and knowledgeable, and know he's dealt with some really tough cases, and certainly sounds like it from what you described.
