Ex-Prosecutor Dismantles Donald Trump’s Attack On Him In Most 'Graceful' Way
HuffPost
Andrew Weissmann calmly countered the former president's wild claim with two key points.
MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday praised former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann for what she described as the “graceful” and “very disciplined” way in which he responded to Donald Trump’s attack on him.
Trump at the weekend lashed out at Weissmann, who investigated Trump in former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe. Trump falsely claimed Weissmann is now the “slimeball Boss” of special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election result and alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House.
Weissmann, who is now an analyst for MSNBC, made two points in response to Trump’s claim.
“One is the use of adjectives and adverbs. That is not legal argument. That is not a factual argument, any more than you say the election was stolen,” he said.
“You need to have facts. Adjectives and adverbs is not a way of arguing, especially for someone who has been the leader of the free world, let alone anyone else. And I think that’s really important,” Weissmann added.
