‘Mueller’s pitbull’ has a few regrets
Prosecutor Andrew Weissmann says the recent revelations about Donald Trump’s tax returns vindicate his argument that the probe didn’t go far enough.

from the article:
"Weissmann wanted to subpoena Trump. Mueller said no. Weissmann wanted to conclude forcefully that Trump obstructed justice. Mueller said no. And Weissmann wanted to open a wide-ranging investigation of Trump’s finances. He was again rebuffed.
Weissmann said that last Sunday’s explosive New York Times report cataloguing decades of Trump’s financial dealings and tax returns was “serendipitous” — underscoring why he fought to probe Trump’s financial relationships where others refused."

“It was the antithesis,” Weissmann said of the phone “wiping” stories. “We were trying to think about how to prevent things from disappearing.”
“I was like, wait a second, everything was backed up,” he continued, adding, “This phone was irrelevant because everything was on our computers.”"
