Weissmann also details for the first time the debilitating effects that President Trump himself had on the investigation, through his dangling of pardons and his constant threats to shut down the inquiry and fire Mueller, which leftP#8239;the teamP#8239;racing against the clock andP#8239;essentially fighting with one hand tied behind their backs.P#8239;P#8239;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;In Plt;iPgt;Where Law Ends,Plt;/iPgt; Weissmann conjures the camaraderie and esprit de corps of the investigative units led by the enigmatic Mueller, a distinguished public servant who is revealed here, in a way we have never seen him before, as a manager, a colleague, and a very human presence. Weissmann is as candid about the teamP#8217;s mistakes as he is about its successes, and is committed to accurately documenting the historic investigation for future generations to assess and learn from. Ultimately, Plt;iPgt;Where Law EndsPlt;/iPgt; is a story aboutP#8239;a team of public servants, dedicated to the rule of law, tasked with investigating a president who did everything he could to stand in their way.
