Ex-prosecutor loves judge’s smackdown of Trump: ‘Let’s peopel connect the dots’



A federal judge accused the president of enacting an executive order he declared an "unconstitutional abuse of Donald Trump's power." One of the lawyers targeted in the order is celebrating the ruling, saying he "loves" the judge's smackdown.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Friday as the news broke, former partner Andrew Weissmann smiled as he spoke about the judge's decision to stop the Trump order targeting the law firm Jenner & Block. Weissmann worked for the firm until 2011. More recently, Weissmann worked as one of the prosecutors on special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating Trump and Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign.

"What I love about this breaking news is that it allows people to connect the dots," Weissmann said. "Retaliatory actions that's alleged with respect to what the administration has done with respect to Harvard preliminarily enjoined" due to the First Amendment. "The same day, you have a federal judge in D.C. — a very well-respected judge permanently enjoining again, and what is the main ground? First Amendment violation."

Weissmann predicted, "You're going to see this over and over again."

He argued, "It's really important for people to see this not as isolated, but this is remarkable. The United States government repeatedly being found to have violated the First Amendment in really significant ways in attacking ... a series of major law firms and Harvard University."
