There’s an interesting aspect to an Andrew Weissmann statement on MSNBC that almost everyone is missing. Before watching the brief excerpt, let me put the comments into context. Remember, the Intelligence Branch uses intelligence silos to protect themselves; however, the Intelligence Branch also violates those silos when ever they want.
First, Andrew Weissmann comes from the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). More specifically, in that division Andrew Weissmann was in charge of the section that used FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act), or FARA-951 as a weapon against their political enemies.
The only targets Weissmann ever selected for FARA investigations were political opposition. You might also remember it was Weissmann who led the Mueller team, and in that position Weissmann went after every target (Flynn, Rafiekian, Manafort, Papadopoulos, Phares, even Rudy Guiliani etc.) with accusations of FARA violations.
Second, the DOJ-NSD had no inspector general oversight.
During the Obama administration the DOJ-NSD exempted themselves from DOJ Inspector General review. In 2015 the Office of the Inspect General (OIG) requested oversight and it was Deputy AG Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
There is a very specific reason for this intentional avoidance of oversight as we found out through the Carter Page FISA warrant. The DOJ-NSD is the weaponized mechanism against domestic political opposition inside the DOJ. [Sidebar: I would not be surprised to find out the DOJ-NSD operatives used their FARA authorities to control and threaten political opposition around Washington DC, using lobbying investigations as leverage/blackmail.

Obviously the NSD needs to be redone. Can you say Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia? That is what the NSAis acting like.
But like a spoiled child having never been disciplined, the community will loudly and ruthlessly protest any correction.
Just for criticizing them, President trump was hounded by them with any scam conjurable,
as Chuckie Schumer matter-of-factly stated they would in a news interview.
A hazardous point to keep in mind when taking them in hand.
Maybe President Trump will correct this problem by removing all these long term lying and cheating bueracrats.
This continues and took place under Barr and Sessions.... talk about RINO's and disloyal agents of the left occupying Trump's Administration... no wonder Pres. Trump had such a difficult time in controlling his staff and Administration/
Carlson reports that the heavy-duty illegal abuse of Trump spooked away many talented cabinet candidates. The criminality of the NWO, down to the useful-idiot spoiled-brat Deep State (like these two creatans) really does cry out for the post and the cat, and the scaffold.
But current opinions think those punishments are Constitutionally cruel and unusual. Daily I am less-and-less in agreement. Millions of deaths, and the suffering of greater numbers of their loved ones, loss of livelihoods, fertility, and shortened lifespans, improve the penalties utility. IMHO
The entire upper echelon of our govt. is corrupt. Look how they tried to destroy Trump. A president who accomplished more in 4 years then all previos life long polatitians and he also made them look incopetent . They also used their attack on him as an example, don't let any ordinary citizen ever think of running for president ever again or else you will suffer the same attack as on Trump
I find, with possible exception to the 'journalist', all particpants to be unsettling in their matter-of-fact counterfeit intentions to service of our Nation, and what it is about.
Wear protective gloves when around these creatures.
Unbelievable evil controls these people. Defund all of the alphabet orgs. in this country and start over.
