Interesting report from Politico (using DOJ/FBI sources), highlighting a likelihood the DOJ will release another version of the Trump-Russia report in the spring of 2022. From the description it sounds like the Andrew Weissmann version of the Mueller report.
If accurate; and there’s no reason at this point not to see this as likely; this could be considered the third leg of the 2022 election stool being constructed by the leftists who plan election strategies within the Lawfare group.
- Leg one is the J6 Committee investigation and subsequent narrative findings.
- Leg two is the DOJ investigation of audit groups, indictments and subsequent narrative.
- Leg three would be the Andrew Weissmann report, and subsequent narrative.

Politico – […] An unpublished investigative compilation sometimes referred to as the “Alternative Mueller Report” has been located in Justice Department files and could be released soon, according to a letter filed in federal court Thursday.
[…] “At least for posterity, I had all the [team] members … write up an internal report memorializing everything we found, our conclusions, and the limitations on the investigation, and provided it to the other team leaders as well as had it maintained in our files,” wrote Weissmann in “Where Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigation.”
[…] The group Weissmann supervised in the special counsel’s office was called “Team M” after its primary target — former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. The team more directly focused on the ties between Russia and former President Donald Trump was known as “Team R.” (read more)
As we have noted for several years, and later admitted by former Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, the special counsel team led by Andrew Weissmann -using the figurehead of Robert Mueller- was in full control of the U.S. Justice Department from May of 2017 to April of 2019. Simultaneously, the Lawfare group allies outside the special counsel were collaborating with their friends in the Weissmann group.
The media, now writing about how an Andrew Weissmann version of the Mueller report will be released early next year, speaks further to the political motive operating inside the current DOJ. It appears that Main Justice, in collaboration with the FBI, will be the strategy center for the Democrat’s 2022 election effort.
Last point…. again this highlights that pesky issue all of the conservative writers and Spygate opinion authors conspicuously avoid: “How is John Durham going to reveal everything that is claimed as hopeful and possible about the 2016/2017 deep state Trump targeting operation; yet simultaneously handle the involvement of Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann and the Special Counsel team who were specifically appointed to cover it up?”
The Robert Mueller special counsel team in 2017 through 2019 were an extension of the DOJ/FBI operation against Donald Trump in 2016 and 2017.
When Andrew Weissmann and crew entered the DOJ to effectively run the Trump-Russia investigation, their purpose was to: (1) continue what was ongoing; and (2) coverup all that came before.
AG Jeff Sessions recused himself, and DAG Rod Rosenstein became the co-dependent enabler for the Weissmann crew’s needs.
During a June 2020 Senate hearing, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein openly admitted to being nothing more than the rubber stamp for every request. Rosenstein approved every request, signed every authorization and agreed to every scope expansion Andrew Weissmann put in front of him. There was nothing Rosenstein ever denied the Weissmann crew.
Team Weissmann, under the authorities of a blank-check special counsel, effectively ran Main Justice top to bottom for two years. When you accept the framework Rosenstein later admitted was in place, then you understand that anything blocked from DOJ/FBI release (see Nunes pleas) was blocked by Weissmann Inc; and everything that ever came out of the DOJ/FBI was released by Weissmann Inc. Reread that as many times as needed until it sinks in.
Why was the DOJ/FBI protecting Chris Steele source Igor Danchenko by not exposing the lies that John Durham is now making public in his indictments? The answer is clearly visible in THAT specific moment in July of 2018 when Team Weissmann wrote a letter to the FISA Court increasingly distrusting of what the court was seeing and hearing from the OIG office.
Look at how the FISA was used by the Mueller investigation to continue its weaponization throughout 2017 and even into 2018. In July of 2018, long after the source material was debunked, the special counsel office was still telling the FISA court the predication for the FISA application and subsequent renewals was valid.
Drive this point home. This is a key to understanding the scope of how weaponized the Mueller team was.
In July of 2018, the special counsel resistance group was lying to the FISA court in order to protect the cornerstone document that permitted them to weaponize the intelligence apparatus.
This letter was written July 12, 2018. It is NOT accidental that only a week later, July 21st, the special counsel released the FISA application under the guise of FOIA fulfillment.
Aside from the date, the important part of the first page is the motive for sending it. The Mueller team running the DOJ is telling the court in July 2018: based on what they know, the FISA application still contains “sufficient predication for the Court to have found probable cause” to approve the application. The resistance unit running the DOJ is defending the Carter Page FISA application as still valid.
On page #8 [Source Document Here] when discussing Christopher Steele’s sub-source, Igor Danchenko, the special counsel group notes the FBI found Danchenko to be truthful and cooperative.
This is an incredibly misleading statement to the FISA court, because what the letter doesn’t say is that 18-months earlier Danchenko, also known in the IG report as the “primary sub-source”, disavowed the content and informed the FBI that the material attributed to him in the dossier was essentially junk.
By July 2018, the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications, yet they withheld that information from the court and said the predicate was still valid. Why?
It doesn’t take a deep-weeds-walker to identify the DOJ motive. In July 2018, Robert Mueller’s investigation was at its apex, and the people within that investigation were in control of the DOJ. The Special Counsel wrote that 2018 letter to the FISA court to protect themselves.
This letter justifying the application and claiming that current information would still be a valid predicate therein, speaks to the 2018 DOJ needing to retain the validity of the FISA warrant. The DOJ needed to protect evidence Mueller/Weissmann had already extracted from the fraudulently obtained FISA authority. Protect the ‘fruit of the poisoned tree’, that’s the motive.
In July 2018, if the DOJ-NSD had admitted the FISA application and all renewals were fatally flawed, Robert Mueller/Andrew Weismann may have needed to withdraw any evidence gathered as a result of its exploitation. The DOJ in 2018 was protecting Mueller’s poisoned fruit.
If the DOJ had been honest with the court, there’s a strong possibility some, perhaps much, of Mueller evidence gathering would have been invalidated… and cases were pending. The solution: mislead the court, ie. lie, and claim the predication was still valid.
That’s the bigger issue….
…And John Durham has yet to touch it.
If the 2019 Wiessmann dossier had anything of value to the Democrats the DoJ would have released it long ago. This took a FOIA lawsuit to pry out of DoJ.
The whole premise of an “alternative report” is ludicrous. If the “Weissmann Report” or it’s key elements, was omitted from the official version then it destroys Mueller’s legitimacy to put it out now. Does it not smack of desperation (or ego?) for Weissmann’s cohorts to throw Mueller under the bus by printing a report that comes to a different conclusion? And doesn’t that throw into question the conclusions of both reports?
Mueller was legitimate?
If it was the objective of the Mueller (Weissman) SC team to reveal the truth about the Trump-Russian collusion allegations, why didn’t their report reveal that the Steele dossier was paid for by the Clinton campaign and that FBI interviews with Steele’s primary source had established the allegations in the dossier were garbage?
I personally believe that if enough people and conservative outlets beat this drum loud and repeatedly between now and the release of the Weismsman report, the credibility of the report could be effectively and appropriately minimized.
Agree or disagree?
Here’s your chance for that valued and famed Pulitzer if you can pry it out of the WaPo and NYT. Of course they’re busy trying to bury their shame (guilt). Our country has been invaded from within by a bunch of hissing snakes. Personally, everyone should begin paying close attention to the litigants.
Weismann will, of course, be interviewed by George Stephanopolous at the Grand Premiere of his Hit Piece on Trump/all Republicans in time to be repeated thousands of times before next November. The Democrats would cease to exist without stupid voters.
So what let him release this suddenly found report (like anyone
believe that)it won;t change any minds. Those who hate
Trump will say see, see GUILTY those who support Trump
will roll thier eyes and say really this is getting old.
And if congress wastes it time with all these hearing on anything
in there and they are not addressing real problems affecting
normal Americans. Normal
americans will be mad the congress wastes it time with
more hearings headed
by avowed Trump haters like Cheney, Schiff, Nadler etc..
So what they guy who got fired wrote his report and now he
want to read it to the class.
How do these scum bags keep getting away with all of their false narratives without being held accountable?
The FISA Court’s favorite song to the FIB…..
exactly, fisa court in on the cover up at least.
IMO:
Durham is already investigating all aspects of Russiagate. Weismann’s report may only show how illegitimate his investigation was when compared to the forthcoming indictments.
I would look for major figures that were involved in the Weismann coup group to be indicted. This looks suspiciously like a preemptive strike before the latest Durham Grand Jury indictments are revealed.
I think they will try and use the Weismann report to site the indictments as political revenge for their defense. Unfortunately for them Durham and his team are extremely detail oriented and, as shown by their previous indictments, they have the receipts, and then some.
Hopium. I wish you were right but I’m afraid you’re not. The real time for the right heads to roll was before the illegitimate one was installed. Bondo Barr buried the truth and navigated the swamp creatures through the crisis/threat of Trump – what makes us think any “justice” will be served upon the corrupt DoJ by the corrupt DoJ?!
Whoever controls the Weissmann’s “Report” agenda has to make some decisions:
1) Ignoring what Durham has brought into the public record, he can release unproven trash the news media can repeat uncritically. This has been their style for years, so why change now? And conservatives would keep themselves busy picking apart the details and thrashing over why the left gets away with this.
2) Try to address what Durham has exposed in Weissmann’s “Report”. This would include reworking everything to pretend the Hillary Clinton and the Steele Dossier material had nothing to do with the SC investigation plus explaining away why the OSC completely missed what Durham has exposed. Any honest prosecutor would have first ascertained whether the allegations were valid and what they were based upon. If that happened, it was suppressed. Approach #2 would be one heck of an assignment, and fraught with peril since Durham is still at work.
My guess is that no Report as such emerges. The notion implies there is damaging material. Once aired, the threat evaporates.
Be assured, GOPricks will do what GOPricks do……and then ask you for money.
In addition to that already covered, this ‘report’ could also come in handy as a diversion against the blowback from the impending & likely capitulation of the Biden Regime to Putin in Ukraine. … . although it would be nice if we learn that Durham really is doing his job and this is a preemptive move against that.
In any event, I view this as an act of desperation – like a dog returning to it’s own vomit for sustenance.
Our government has more criminals than the federal pen. A moron in the White house committing treason on a regular basis, guilty of causing the deaths of military and citizens, aiding and abetting terrorists and being the biggest security risk ever in the office of President. Omar and AOC waltzing around as servants to the taxpayers lying and conning everyone while hating America and making ridiculous statements and threats. Both are frauds. Eric Swalwell , Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Ho Harris, Dianne Feinstein all in collusion with the Chinese and being paid for favors. Say nothing of Dr. Pepper (Jill Biden) , Hunter Biden and the Biden brothers being on that payroll. Wow, we pay for this traitor crew? It is past time to drain the swamp of all those rats. (Hat tip to Fay)
“…mislead the court…” ROFL
since “the court” was just another player, the lies and misleading come in so boasberg can claim he was just another misled and lied to patsy. and since roberts is boss of the fisa court he too is in the game.
sickening bunch of suits.
Back in May, we reported on the fight brewing in a DC federal court, where Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson were trying to keep secret their internal correspondence and records relating to their role in pushing the Alfa Bank/Trump hoax. New court filings indicate Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson improperly failed some of their most damning e-mails.
Overview
For background, the fight arises out of a lawsuit – Fridman, et al. (Alfa Bank) v. Bean LLC a/k/a Fusion GPS, and Glenn Simpson, where the owners of Alfa Bank have sued Fusion GPS and Simpson for falsely accusing “the Plaintiffs—and Alfa (“Alfa”), a consortium in which the Plaintiffs are investors—of criminal conduct and alleged cooperation with the ‘Kremlin’ to influence the 2016 presidential election.”

THIS IS OBSCENE.
WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH ?
Nunes or more likely Grassley, maybe Rubio, should request that Robert Mueller come before one of their committees and explain Weissmann’s recap. I would request since Mueller was the principal of the investigation. I would really question in depth then do the same to Weissmann
Rubio is part of the coverup as a member of the SSCI. Nunes doesn’t have any power being in the minority. Grassley knows what’s going on but wouldn’t ask the “right” questions ala Ms. Lindsey.
Agree, except Mueller has dementia.

you are kidding, right? Mueller is just like FJB.. he is in later stages of dementia.. Mueller in front of Congress again.. LMAO!
It would explains the suits against Powell, and Bannon to get them out of the way, or a gag order on them.
What?!
Trump was involved with Russia?
We need to investigate that, just to make sure (that none of us get in trouble).
Obama, Biden, Judge James Boasberg,Mary McCord, and others should be rotting in prison now
Sigh.

The Mueller Report-Director’s Cut
I think there is more here….what if this is being dropped to protect Hillary. Rumors are swirling that Joe is toast, and Kamala will appoint Hillary as VP…then Willie Browns chew toy will resign due to family reasons. Just my 2 cents
Issue new annual journaistic awards called the Pudpuller! A journo wins a Pudpuller if they knowingly originate (or at least could have known if they asked) or if the repeat false stories.
This is the same 12 angry Democrats that spontaneously forgot their passcode for their phones when they turned them back into the DoJ, having learned from Strzok’s mistake.
Having an investigation with no punishment doesn’t stop criminal behavior, it simply leads to smarter criminals.
The reason we are in the position we are in, is because we don’t have anyone on team red that is as ruthless as the dems.
The Mueller report was absolutely a success for the Dems. The chilling effect of having that many supporting personnel around the president for non-crimes and made up BS is going to be felt in the next several elections. The other side of this is that the FBI was corrupted enough that they helped cover up the 2020 election theft.
IF we have another Republican president, he is going to have to go through our institutions with fire-hoses and bleach, starting with the military.
The Ministry of Truth strikes again.
The ministry is also responsible for the language of the Party, Newspeak. This new language whittles down traditional English, one word at a time. It is the Party’s intention that language becomes so minimal that no one is capable of thinking anything other than what the Party wants them to. This would mean that betraying the Party or thinking independent thoughts is going to be impossible.
Weissman is going to win a Pudpuller Award and he is going to P.O. Durham….
I just don’t care anymore. I know the truth.
