I don’t think [attorney Plotkin] would leave a lucrative private practice [to join a team investigating Trump’s activities in New York for possible prosecution by the Southern District of New York and/or other authorities seeking remedies].–Andrew Weissmann

There was a large woman prosecutor from the Enron Task Force that I thought was his boss. Then I thought he was her boss and I know she led the criminal division of Justice at some point. I’m confused.
