The Trump Administration is taking action against Deep State hacks like John Brennan, and the constellation of Swamp figures who surround him are totally freaking out over the news that they are in the line of fire for their roles in the allegedly illegal lawfare operation against President Donald Trump.
Amongst those who freaked out was Andrew Weissmann, who worked as a lead prosecutor for Special Counsel Robert Mueller over the course of 2017 through 2019. He is, as such, involved in the legal counterattack launched by the Trump Department of Justice to enact justice and vengeance against those involved in the scheme to take down President Trump.
As could be expected, Weissmann panicked after getting the news that he might be subpoenaed, appearing on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House program with host Nicolle Wallace to rant and rave about the situation he faces and how it is an alleged miscarriage of justice that he is even getting subpoenaed, all of which was quite ironic given his involvement in the case against President Trump.
During his rant, Weissmann freaked out over the news that the attack on Brennan and others is being brought in federal court in the Southern District of Florida, alleging that the Trump Administration is making that move because it wants Judge Aileen Cannon on the case. He snapped that the administration is “bringing it in a forum that clearly is inappropriate, so that you can hope to get, presumably, Judge Cannon on the case.”
Continuing, he ranted that the whole legal counterattack launched by the Trump DOJ is very improper and implied that it should be thrown out because he thinks the proper procedures haven’t been followed, saying, “I mean, you have a real dichotomy in terms of the way in which you’re supposed to behave and the way in which they are behaving.”
As could be expected, Weissmann’s freakout led to a very entertaining response on X, where conservative commentators skewered him for the whole situation. Amongst those who did so was writer and X personality Svetlana Lokhova, who said that the deep state is panicking because Judge Cannon won’t put up with their nonsense.
Doing so, Lokhova wrote, “DEEP STATE IN DEEP PANIC Mueller attack dog Andrew Weissmann, a likely recipient of a Florida Grand Jury subpoena, wakes up to the reality of Florida justice. With Judge Aileen Cannon, your lawfare bs does not work. You are all going to jail!” Watch Weissmann’s freakout here:

Similarly, in another post on the matter, Lokhova noted that bringing the case in Florida is important because the Swamp is too easily able to get out of trouble in the DC area, saying, “Weissmann has woken up to realization that this is a whole different game. The Durham experience shows that bringing a case in Virginia or DC is impossible.”
She further added that whereas that area is dominated by anti-Trump judges, Florida is not, making the case a very different ballgame. “Activist judges, anti-Trump jury pool equals acquittal. Florida, on the other hand, is a whole different world. Hence Weissmann is warning the other 30 recipients of the Florida Grand Jury subpoenas that they face a tough time,” she wrote.
