Okay, what motivation could Weissmann have for targeting President Trump?

WEISSMANN:

—A strong supporter of the Democrats – he donated $5,000 to Obama’s campaign, and attended Hillary Clinton’s “victory” party on election night

—Praised Acting AG @SallyQYates for defying the Trump travel ban

—Part of the DOJ chain of custody for the Steele dossier – meeting with Bruce Ohr (effectively his unofficial “handler” after he was fired [on paper] by FBI)

—Close friends with Obama officials who could be implicated in the Trump investigation – Monaco, Ruemmler

Okay, if Weissmann lost 9-0 to SCOTUS before, why would he want to take the L again? If it's as legally dubious as I'm saying (and so is AG Barr), why would he even try it?

—If Trump could be accused of this crime by Weissmann, he could end up destroyed and forced from office (or not re-elected). If SCOTUS then finds *several years later* that Weismann overreached, would he care? Trump is out of office regardless (probably the ultimate objective)

—Arthur Anderson may have won in court but was still destroyed. Does Weismann consider that a "loss"? I doubt it. And impeachment is a political crime, not a legal one. Weissmann only needs to get the ball rolling down the hill with the accusation of the crime itself, to The Hill

—Weissmann put 85,000 people out of a job at Arthur Anderson – he only has to put 1 out of a job this time – Donald Trump. He probably considers that easy for a man of his many talents.

WEISSMANN OBSTRUCTION CHECKLIST

Overall legally aggressively

Familiar with Enron law

Could convince Mueller to embrace it

Leaker

Biased

Something to hide

Motivated to do it

SUMMARY

—This is a very dubious legal theory of "Obstruction"

—It almost certainly came from Weissmann

—Mueller embraced it, and wasted two years on it

—AG Barr ain't havin it

—Read the Mueller report tomorrow with this in mind

/ENDS

Extra:

N.B. Dem and D.C. Legal Theory:

OBSTRUCTION; Trump "hoping" for something privately with Comey, then doing nothing about it, in an FBI investigation he's the head of

NOT OBSTRUCTION: Smashing up blackberries and deleting 30,000 emails under Congressional subpoena with Bleachbit

N.B. 2

N.B 3 Mueller/DOJ leakers confirm to @washingtonpost minutes ago that the main focus of the Mueller report is obstruction of justice
