I have been thinking that this guy is some kind if deep undercover agent for the CIA or FBI because he always seems to land on his feet. I remember, he was on some news show some time ago, and he stated nonchalantly that a lot of Trumps customers at his hotels paid in cash which is an indication of money laundering.

Will Robert Mueller’s big time conflicts of interest
be listed at the top of his Republicans only Report.
Will Andrew Weissman’s horrible and vicious
prosecutorial past be listed in the Report. He wrongly
destroyed people’s lives, took down great companies, only to be....

...trump most likely knows EXACTLY who Weissmann is because:

Weissmann has a reputation as a fierce prosecutor, having headed up the Justice Department’s Enron Task Force. Before that, as an assistant US attorney in the Eastern District of New York, he pursued cases targeting Mafia wise guys and Russian organized crime members.

Weissmann played a role in an unusual case—involving the Mafia, the Russian mob, and securities fraud—that is now oddly linked to Trump.

As a prosecutor in the Eastern District, Weissmann signed a 1998 cooperation agreement between the US government and Felix Sater, a violent felon and securities trader who had pleaded guilty to financial crimes. Sater went on to become a confidential informant for the FBI and a Trump business partner. During the years in which Sater was secretly cooperating with the Feds, he was also engaging in key real estate ventures with Trump. This included scouting for deals in Russia and Eastern Europe, projects that never materialized. Trump has consistently claimed that his business empire has “nothing to do with Russia.” Yet Sater’s intriguing tale represents at least one important Russia connection for Trump.

He usually admits to everything, so, this could be fun.

won't hear about things that are under investigation by others or are classified, I imagine.

Otherwise, I bet Sater knows a lot about the theory of the case...money laundering, conspiracy, treason, foreign election interference, bribery, RICO. Bet Judiciary is handling obstruction, perjury, etc so it's interesting that the Judiciary committee hearing is closed. I would have thought Intel would be closed and Judiciary open...

What a shady character. I remember a report of him telling his family that he was settling his affairs in preparation for a stay in prison. At which time he said "...and Donald will be coming with me."

OH, no one can imagine how much I'm hoping for that.
