Russia Hoax Prosecutor Panics Over Trump DOJ In Unhinged MSNBC Segment: ‘McCarthy Era’
Andrew Weissman, a former FBI general counsel and lead prosecutor on special counsel Robert Mueller’s bogus Russian collusion hoax team, railed against the Trump-led Department of Justice’s recent actions in a notably unhinged appearance on MSNBC.
During an segment on Ari Melber’s “The Beat,” Weissman was asked about the Trump Administration’s arrest of a judge in Wisconsin who allegedly shielded an illegal alien from immigration enforcement, as well as the unprecedented judicial interference targeting the president’s agenda.
“As we try to deliver on what we aimed for tonight, are the lessons going forward for the things that worked dealing with this Trump legal onslaught?” Melber asked.
Weissman responded by comparing the administration’s conduct to the McCarthy era, which has long been derided in left-wing circles as a period of unjust prosecutions and accusations despite well documented communist infiltration of American institutions in the early 1950’s.
“Let’s learn from history is the way I look at this, which is all of us at this table were too young for the McCarthy era, but I think there are real lessons there for us, which is we are seeing blacklisting,” the left-wing prosecutor said.
“We’re seeing the same kind of abuse, the same kind of fear, the same kind of obeying in advance. And I think the lesson if you think it can’t happen again, it is happening now. The idea that, ‘oh, that’s something that’s just in our history and we’re well beyond that.; No, that is what is happening now. Not just blacklisting, but people going along with it, not being the people who stand up.”
He added, “I think that is the lesson, which is if you want to be on the right side of history, you need to not be afraid. You need to speak. You need to be saying to people who want to use fear as a way to silence you, that you still have a First Amendment right.”
Weissman discusses the Trump ‘hush money’ case during a May 29, 2024 appearance on MSNBC
Last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who allegedly helped an illegal alien charged with a violent crime escape from her courtroom when federal agents came to arrest him.
Dugan, who has been on the Milwaukee County bench for nearly a decade, is accused of obstruction of justice and concealing Eduardo Flores-Ruiz from arrest following a pre-trial hearing last week. She faces a maximum of 10 years in prison if convicted on both counts.
