Where Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigation

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * In the first and only inside account of the Mueller investigation, one of the special counsel's most trusted prosecutors breaks his silence on the team's history-making search for the truth, their painstaking deliberations and costly mistakes, and Trump's unprecedented efforts to stifle their report. "Weissmann delivers the kind of forceful, ringing indictment that Mueller's report did not."--The New York Times In May 2017, Robert Mueller was tapped to&#8239;lead an&#8239;inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, coordination by foreign agents with Donald Trump's campaign, and obstruction of justice by the president.&#8239;Mueller assembled a "dream team" of top prosecutors, and for the next twenty-two months, the investigation was a black box and the subject of endless anticipation and speculation--until April 2019, when&#8239;the&#8239;special counsel's report was released. In Where Law Ends, legendary&#8239;prosecutor&#8239;Andrew&#8239;Weissmann--a key player in the Special Counsel's Office--finally pulls back the curtain to reveal exactly what went on inside the investigation, including the heated debates, painful deliberations, and mistakes of the team--not to mention the external efforts by the president and Attorney General William Barr to manipulate the investigation to their political ends.&#8239; Weissmann puts the reader in the room as Mueller's 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&#8239;the team&#8239;racing against the clock and&#8239;essentially fighting with one hand tied behind their backs.&#8239;&#8239; 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 team's 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&#8239;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.

In the long span of American history, Donald Trump is the first former president to face criminal indictment. He is the subject of a series of explosive charges across four cases: the January 6 case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith; the election interference case in Georgia; the classified documents case also brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith; and the "hush money" case in New York. The first trial, in New York City, is set to begin on March 4, 2024. Collecting the four indictments in a single, accessible volume, prominent legal scholars and commentators Melissa Murray and Andrew Weissmann walk us through each one in turn, with explanatory and contextual notes that enhance our understanding of these historic documents. The Trump Indictments includes: * An introduction offering background--historical and contemporary--for the charges against the former president. * The four indictments with annotations throughout, including insider notes from an eminent scholar (Murray) and a former federal prosecutor (Weissmann). * A cast of characters, from Trump and his alleged co-conspirators to notable Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who face prison sentences as a result of related January 6 cases. * A timeline that brings together in one place the critical events that led to the four indictments. A necessary handbook for any concerned citizen following the trials of Donald Trump in early 2024, The Trump Indictments will also endure as an indispensable record of a democracy in peril.
