Trump DOJ's 'verboten' mistakes in Broadview Six case raise red flags for expert

The recently released Broadview Six transcripts revealed a stunning pattern of behavior by President Donald Trump's Department of Justice, raising multiple red flags for a legal expert. Andrew Weissmann, a former federal prosecutor, said during a new interview on All Rise News with Adam Klasfeld on Friday that the federal prosecutors who brought the Broadview Six case broke some verboten rules in the legal profession. They include trying to sway a grand jury, trying to cover up prosecutorial misdeeds, and bringing weak evidence to support their case. One of the most flagrant abuses, according to Weissmann, was the prosecutors' own admission that they chose a specific grand jury because they trusted them.Choosing the grand jury because you trust them and they trust you and you like them and they like you ... this is like blatantly saying I engaged in grand jury shopping, Weissman said. But then the second thing is you cannot ever say whether the grand jury stage or the trial stage, 'Trust me, I'm telling you there's probable cause. I would never present something without probable cause.'It is verboten. Everybody knows that.Weissmann said the prosecutors' misconduct was so egregious that it made him question whether it was intentional. This is so fundamental that you have to know that it's wrong, he said.
