One of former Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs leading attorneys, Andrew weissmann, will publish a new book about the inner workings of the Russia investigation in late September.
The book is titled âWhere Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigationâ and the Amazon blurb reads, âIn the first and only inside account of the Mueller investigation, one of the special counselâs most trusted prosecutors breaks his silence on the teamâs history-making search for the truth, their painstaking deliberations and costly mistakes, and Trumpâs unprecedented efforts to stifle their report.â
Weissmann was a leading prosecutor in the investigation, which was known for being especially clandestine and leak-proof.
Over the weekend, Weissmann criticized President Trumpâs decision to commute Roger Stoneâs sentence, agreeing with Senator Mitt Romneyâs take that the move represented âunprecedented, historic corruption.â

In a statement, Weissmann said âI felt it was necessary to record this episode in our history, as seen and experienced by an insider.â
The prosecutor added, âThis is the story of our investigation into how our democracy was attacked by Russia and how those who condoned and ignored that assault undermined our ability to uncover the truth. My obligation as a prosecutor was to follow the facts where they led, using all available tools and undeterred by the onslaught of the presidentâs unique powers to undermine our work.â
Mueller also broke his silence over the weekend in a Washington Post column, writing, âWe made every decision in Stoneâs case, as in all our cases, based solely on the facts and the law and in accordance with the rule of law. The women and men who conducted these investigations and prosecutions acted with the highest integrity.â
Weissmann previously raised eyebrows when he was scheduled to appear at a fundraiser with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, though his name was later dropped from the event.
