NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠In 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.
âWeissmann delivers the kind of forceful, ringing indictment that Muellerâs report did not.ââThe New York Times
In May 2017, Robert Mueller was tapped to'lead an'inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, coordination by foreign agents with Donald Trumpâs campaign, and obstruction of justice by the president.'mueller assembled a âdream teamâ of top prosecutors, and for the next twenty-two months, the investigation was a black box and the subject of endless anticipation and speculationâuntil April 2019, when'the'special counselâs report was released.
In Where Law Ends, legendary'prosecutor'Andrew'Weissmannâa key player in the Special Counselâs Officeâfinally pulls back the curtain to reveal exactly what went on inside the investigation, including the heated debates, painful deliberations, and mistakes of the teamânot to mention the external efforts by the president and Attorney General William Barr to manipulate the investigation to their political ends."
Weissmann puts the reader in the room as Muellerâs team made their most consequential decisions, such as whether to subpoena the president, whether to conduct a full financial investigation of Trump, and whether to explicitly recommend obstruction charges against him. Weissmann also details for the first time the debilitating effects that President Trump himself had on the investigation, through his dangling of pardons and his constant threats to shut down the inquiry and fire Mueller, which left'the team'racing against the clock and'essentially fighting with one hand tied behind their backs.'"
In Where Law Ends, Weissmann conjures the camaraderie and esprit de corps of the investigative units led by the enigmatic Mueller, a distinguished public servant who is revealed here, in a way we have never seen him before, as a manager, a colleague, and a very human presence. Weissmann is as candid about the teamâs mistakes as he is about its successes, and is committed to accurately documenting the historic investigation for future generations to assess and learn from. Ultimately, Where Law Ends is a story about'a team of public servants, dedicated to the rule of law, tasked with investigating a president who did everything he could to stand in their way.
