Kellyanne Conway tweets SHOCKING DETAILS of Mueller appointee Andrew Weissmann. SHOCKING!

The Trump team is reportedly worried about special prosecutor Robert Mueller’s appointment of a veteran federal prosecutor known for convincing witnesses to turn on their associates.

Andrew Weissmann, who led the U.S. Justice Department’s criminal fraud section before joining Mueller’s probe of alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, is best known for prosecuting the energy company Enron and organized crime cases in Brooklyn — which drew the attention of the newspaper owned by Jared Kushner, reported Axios.

The website reported that Trump’s associates have been worried about Weissmann since they first heard that Mueller had added him to the special counsel staff.

“I started getting phone calls from Trump associates about two weeks ago suggesting I look into his background,” wrote Jonathan Swan for Axios.

Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway tweeted out a CNN story, shortly after that conversation, showing that Weissman had donated $2,300 to Obama’s first presidential campaign and $2,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 2006, according to Swan.

Maybe there aren't enough Democrats involved in the investigation.
