Chapters in Where Law Ends book summary
What do you get from this book? An honest account of the Mueller Investigation, and Donald Trump’s meddling with it
With successful prosecutions of mob bosses and corporate fraudsters behind him, Weissman was the perfect person for the Mueller Investigation
Mueller brought in the best people he knew to head the investigations into Manafort, obstruction of justice, and Russia
Paul Manafort would campaign for anyone, from dictators to corrupt, Russian-backed Ukrainian politicians, to maintain his lavish lifestyle
Manafort didn’t just commit fraud—he passed on secret polling data to a Russian agent from Ukraine
Facebook’s Russian revelations and Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower alarmed the investigation
The Russian group dedicated to online election interference—and paid for by an oligarch—attacked DNC servers to incriminate Hillary
Trump’s threats to fire the whole Special Counsel’s office were damaging to the investigation, and reminiscent of Nixon post-Watergate
Manafort conspired with Hannity to propagate lies against Mueller and Weissman, while pressuring his old henchman Gates not to cooperate
Attorney General Barr’s “summary” of the Mueller Report wrongly exonerated Trump and was riddled with lies
The indictment of a sitting president is impossible, and the alternative of impeachment has become increasingly ineffective due to partisanship
