The walls are closing in on the Deep State — and they know it. As President Trump’s Department of Justice moves forward with its long-promised crackdown on corrupt Obama-era officials, former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann is reportedly panicking after learning he could soon face a federal subpoena.
Weissmann, who served as one of the lead prosecutors under Special Counsel Robert Mueller from 2017 to 2019 during the infamous “Russia Hoax,” is now realizing that the tables have turned. The same Justice Department figures who weaponized the law against Donald Trump may now find themselves on the receiving end of justice.
According to reports, the DOJ’s ongoing investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan and other Deep State operatives is expanding rapidly — and Weissmann’s name has surfaced as part of that probe. Predictably, the career bureaucrats and political operatives who once believed they were untouchable are now melting down on live television.
Weissmann appeared on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House with left-wing host Nicolle Wallace, where he went on a bitter rant about the investigation. The former prosecutor complained that the case was being brought in Florida, where he claimed the Trump administration was “forum shopping” in hopes of getting Judge Aileen Cannon assigned to the case — a judge known for following the law rather than political pressure.
“The administration is bringing it in a forum that clearly is inappropriate, so that you can hope to get, presumably, Judge Cannon on the case,” Weissmann snapped, visibly rattled. He then claimed that the DOJ’s efforts to investigate the alleged lawfare operation against Trump were “improper” and a “miscarriage of justice.”
For many Americans, Weissmann’s tantrum is the height of irony. After years of watching him help orchestrate one of the most politically motivated investigations in modern history, he’s now crying foul because accountability has finally arrived.
The reaction on X (formerly Twitter) was swift and brutal. Conservative commentators blasted Weissmann and the entire Deep State for their arrogance and hypocrisy.
Author and political commentator Svetlana Lokhova summed it up perfectly: “DEEP STATE IN DEEP PANIC. Mueller attack dog Andrew Weissmann, a likely recipient of a Florida Grand Jury subpoena, wakes up to the reality of Florida justice. With Judge Aileen Cannon, your lawfare BS does not work. You are all going to jail!”
Lokhova also noted that the decision to bring the case in Florida, rather than the D.C. Swamp, was a strategic masterstroke. “The Durham experience shows that bringing a case in Virginia or D.C. is impossible,” she wrote. “Activist judges, anti-Trump jury pools — acquittal after acquittal. Florida, on the other hand, is a whole different world.”
Indeed, the move to prosecute Deep State actors outside the Beltway is being hailed as a major turning point in the long fight to restore integrity to the justice system. For years, Washington insiders have protected one another from accountability. But in Florida — where the law still means something — that protection no longer applies.
As one Trump supporter put it bluntly online: “The same people who spent years lying about Russia collusion are now terrified that justice is coming for them. About time.”
The message from the Trump administration is clear: No one — not even the so-called untouchables of the Deep State — is above the law.
