Former Mueller Prosecutor Andrew Weissmann Now Fundraising for Joe Biden
[AMGREATNESS] Robert Mueller’s hard-charging former "pit bull" Andrew Weissmann plans to participate in an upcoming fundraiser for Democrat presidential candidate Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island...
, effectively ending his television career at NBC News. The network’s policy reportedly requires that employees avoid activities "that may create the appearance of a conflict of interest."

"If the fundraiser goes forward, I’m withdrawing from MSNBC so I can be in compliance with their policy," Weissmann told the Washington Free Beacon on Friday.

Weissmann joined MSNBC as a legal analyst in November, offering advice to House Democrats during their unsuccessful impeachment gambit against President Trump.

He told the Free Beacon that when he notified the network about his plan to headline the June 2 fundraiser for Biden, he understood that the activity was prohibited by his contract.

"I knew what I was getting into and what the consequences would be," Weissmann said. "They wanted me to adhere to their policy."

The Free Beacon had previously reported on Weissmann’s fundraising plans, noting that the political activity would have violated the network’s longstanding policies.
