In 1997 Andrew Weissmann was officially reprimanded by a judge in the Eastern District of New York for withholding evidence.
Weissmann was reported to the Department of Justice Inspector General and Senate Judiciary Committee for alleged “corrupt legal practices.”
A formal letter from U.S. Attorney Eastern District of New York Zachary Carter requested the judge to remove Weissman’s name, according to documents.
Civil rights and Criminal Defense Attorney David Schoen said Weissmann needs to be investigated for alleged past misconduct in court cases.

I have lost faith in our government to administer impartial justice.
Not me.
I’ve only lost faith in criminals to administer impartial justice.
Get a load of the two behind him. Did you ever notice these people seldom stand alone at the microphone. It seems they use this technique as a power play or prop, to show that their colleagues are pillars who stand firmly behind them. And another technique is to give colleagues some mic time and they all take turns complementing each other.
Good one
