'This is an astonishing and disturbing find,' Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said Tuesday in a statement.
'Andrew Weisman, a key prosecutor on Robert Mueller’s team, praised Obama DOJ holdover Sally Yates after she lawlessly thwarted President Trump. How much more evidence do we need that the Mueller operation has been irredeemably compromised by anti-Trump partisans? Shut it down.'
Weissman was the driving force behind obtaining indictments against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
The New York Times in late Obtober described him as 'a top lieutenant' to Mueller 'on the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible links to the Trump campaign.'
