Andrew Weissman was the lead prosecutor on Robert Mueller's special counsel team. We'd thought that he had quit his gig at MSNBC because the network rules wouldn't allow him to headline a fundraiser for Joe Biden, but he showed up on MSNBC Wednesday anyway to talk about his "man crush" on Judge Juan Merchant.
Behold the impartiality of MSNBC:

Andrew Weissmann: "With respect to Judge Merchan, I have like a man crush on him. He is such a great judge. If you looked in a dictionary for judicial temperament, that's what you would get."

“Man crush” on a Judge in an important case? Great judge? I taught evidence and I would have flunked Merchan for allowing the irrelevant and sensational testimony of Stormy Daniels discussing sex. It had zero to do with the indictment and was only to inflame the jury. pic.twitter.com/1Csfvf6Af4

Obviously the clown is looking to Merchan to do what he couldn't.

The only believable thing he said is the "man crush" part.

We've been getting the bulk of our analysis on the trial from Jonathan Turley, who most certainly doesn't have a man crush on Merchan.
