Is this important? It sounds important:

Even this Washington Post reporter finds it inappropriate:
This seems hugely inappropriate? https://t.co/vvzx3QFize

And from the Los Angeles Times:
After all the insisting that the special counsel's investigation wasn't tainted by politics, one of the former top prosecutors is raising money for President Trump's opponent https://t.co/KdiDWaZnLl

Philadelphia Inquirer journo weighs in, too:
1. this will play directly to the Trump narrative that it was angry Dems out to get him
2. (unrelated) moderator is the former NJ Atty General https://t.co/C4oH9qLOzC

Politico’s Jake Sherman:
I’d be shocked f Trump makes it through the day without jumping all over this. https://t.co/1iYrP758qq

If you recall, this is the same guy at Hillary Clinton’s loser party at the Javits Center on election night:
This is the prosecutor who also attended Hillary Clinton's tear-filled election night event in 2016. Doing his best to discredit the investigation. https://t.co/xMbn9LnzY5

How does Biden think this works out for him?
Andrew Weissmann was Mueller's #2 and was widely seen as the driving force behind the Mueller investigation. He is holding a virtual fundraiser and "fireside chat" for Joe Biden. https://t.co/bApPeau5li

This just plays right into President Trump’s hands (and we’re OK with that):
In his testimony to Congress, Robert Mueller famously claimed he did not know when he found out that Andrew Weissmann attended Hillary Clinton's election night party in 2016. https://t.co/7Qvwlwz8QJ
