Mueller Prosecutor Says Trump Committed Crimes

Andrew Weissmann, one of former special counsel Robert Mueller‘s top lieutenants, writes for Just Security that President Trump has committed several federal crimes while in office.

“We are surely to learn more about the criminality underlying the impeachment inquiry. And whether or not you believe the current evidence meets the beyond a reasonable doubt standard, because it is clear what the President was up to, that new evidence is sure to be damning. Why else would the President be stonewalling its release? When that new evidence comes to light, Senators who have resisted impeachment now on the ground of lack of evidence may seek to cling to that legal argument, but will look darn foolish in the annals of history, when the documents prove up what we all already know to be true.”
