About Andrew Weissmann
This site is case-file commentary on official acts and primary records of a public figure. He is a prosecutor — not a judge. Titles and dates come from DOJ press releases, court PDFs, and the NYU faculty biography. Identity confidence: high. Free-use portrait: New America 2014 still (CC BY 3.0). Episodes live on the home case file.

What this site is not
It is not a court and not a finding that Weissmann committed a personal crime. Andersen’s reverse and the barge fraud reverse are holdings about cases he led — not convictions of him. Manafort papers are official acts; they are not a Russia-collusion verdict against Donald Trump. Enron misconduct allegations and wipe-log crime theories stay labeled Claims unless a primary finding appears. It is not a White House product. Read the case file and the disclaimer.
